It came in tonight at 9:30 pm, I didn't even know the boat came with 380 K-planes! My kids were bouncing off the wall and are now so jacked up they can get to sleep. Purchased an impeller housing, and two new batteries, hope to out to on the water before dinner! Brand new trailer too! It came in pretty damn good condition even for my standards, once I get hold of it, it's gonna f*cking glow!!!

Now my next event is a Tres martin class, two stepped boat over 75mph, that's me!!! Just gonna take a LOOOOng time to come up with that $$$.

I don't have $250 worth of colored fuse rings but she's pretty sleek/clean ALWAYS been stored INSIDE, left side dash panel will match the rest in a few weeks.

What's that smell? Smells kind of like Arnold Palmer Lite Drink...
Btw- that sticker looks a little off center...?:kiss:

Bert- can't wait to see some interior/motor pics... lets see em! What's first up on the project list?

Or its the monster u spilt on my cockpit carpet....

All TWO DROPS of it? Perhaps if the ride was smoother it wouldn't have jarred from my hand...:coolcowboy:

We needed something a hell of alot bigger than what we can afford for it to have been anywhere near smooth in that chit. All of 5-6 footers when we went out the first time

Two drops my ass....

Drock the 290 wasn't too bad, we were definitely rockin out but not slamming down against waves and gettin thrown around. We weren't in any 6 footers tho don't kid yourself... KID288 would no longer be with us if that were the case, he'd be in orbit.

Jordan- yes TWO DROPS, there wasn't barely anything in the can, it was on my foot, your carpet didn't even have a wet spot... plus I figured you wouldn't care after you busted arnie palmer tea all over your cabin :grinser010:

If you guys need me ill be over on Sunsation forum.

Not tough enough to hang in the PQ forum... gettin ruffed up too much, kinda like on the water :p

Power bolsters, and FACTORY red cup holders. FACTORY labbed prop. And a trailer that doesn't look like a mobile home should be on it. My boat also came with the "gets on plane everytime" button, STANDARD!


Corsa quick and quiet is the most common **** out there so I don't no y Ur repping it so hard. Just so happens the light weight 288 has that too.


Again, power bolsters is where its at. Maybe your next boat will have them? Perhaps your "performance package" should have had them along with something other than base big blocks. Which are really just heavier, less powerful 6.2's. Who ever ordered your boat forgot to check all the important boxes. Thank god they check the "awesome ride" one.

Again if I was looking for such world class ride I would bought a god damn sea ray cruiser. So keep beating this, my boat rides like **** horse to death. It's beyond getting old. woulda been nice to see your boat out there that day but someone was propless. Had I known you were gonna be a chronic **** talker about my boats performance I would have invited you to stay on the dock with your drippy monster can and the glass bottles of beer and the Arnold palmer mixer. So back to my choice of boat....

I got what I wanted, a clean, well taken care of boat/trailer combo.

I wonder what kinda **** you would be giving me had I bought that high hour silencer at shogrens? It would prolly be **** about how I drive my boat since your ****in tres Martin himself apparently.

Hey 288 nice towel.....nothing smells like a john!!!

My john don't stink, never been used son!

I love that towel!

I little respect please.

I didn't read that as a slam.......go easy.

It takes all kinds of boats to make the world go round and round, variety is the spice of life boys!!

Bert,,
very sharp boat,the 2 step bottom will be a lot different than the 260,just go easy at first and DONT trim down around turns..
also unlike the 260 the step boats dont need that much trim,,once on plane just trim up a little at a time until you find the sweet spot.

Kid, that John Deer blanket should be donated to the 272Bajadriver member, its right up his alley!!

Boatnt, is your new boat all finished up??

Oh boy,hope he does not find this thread

its been kind of cold and chitty have not done much on it last couple of weeks but hoping to work on it this weekend..

Keep the pics coming, nice to see things taking shape and coming together!!

Damn Fish & Kid. Ya can't compare a Caprice to a Corvette... :party-smiley-004:

Which one is which j:evilb:

Does it really matter? LOL :grinser010:

Not to you,,your driving a 1977 corvette stingray:party-smiley-004:

Looks like we have another stick stirring the pot.:drink:

Lmfao... I'm under your skin kid, I love it... not much you're gona do about it tho, bc I'm just gona keep on it over and over and over :D

don't mention Tres in your posts, wasn't it you that just said "why would anyone want to go to a Tres Martin class?" ... OH YA, PROBABLY SO THEY DON'T RAM THEIR BOAT IN THE DOCK AND CHIP THEIR BOAT DOWN TO THE FIBERGLASS.. HAHAHA :D :D :D

they are calling you over on sunsation where you belong

:lolhit:

Keeps me entertained at work. :drink:

Looks like he should have opted for the auto-docking button instead...

Ohh- and its a good thing you didn't leave us on the dock bc if I recall right it was us that had to talk you out of going right back in off Lk Michigan... "screw this, I don't like this ride at all, I'm just gona stick to Higgins Lake" ... sound about right? :p

Jay you might as well 'favorite' this link for quick access, its pretty addictive. Plus you don't want to miss out on KID getting his feelings hurt and stomping all around shouting about his suncigerette haha

It's all in good fun. No hurt feelings.

Besides we all know real offshore boats come from S. Florida... :evilb:

Time to step up Jay and you don't have to paint it, awesome boat:coolcowboy:

Thats too bad ,because I thought you bought yours in Michigan

Point of purchase has nothing to do with roots . :kiss:

Nice Jonny but I see a cat in my future...

Me too...:coolcowboy: In your future that is... Cat's are painter money:lolhit:

Nice! All white too. Me likey!!!
