That thing has BigAndy written alllllll over it.:evilb:

Timmy has got some competition. Low 80's on GPS.:rolleyes:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2009-...rQ5fMotorboats

If TIMMY had any balls he would have brought his sled to Ticfaw:grinser010:

Same boat, except Timmie and John had them add the 3' to the middle of it as a special order. Theirs is the only one so far.

Jeff you might need to go put a lil of your Gregory Performance on Timmie to get it in the 80s

I all ready made my recomendations, but they said no sheetmetal, welders, or rivet guns were getting close to that boat.

These would fit on the back 2 engines of Smooth for a little secret weapon action.

This is absolutely the next MUST DO for club 105 members


Unusual and outstanding family vacation:

I found a Somalia cruise package that departs from Sawakin (in the Sudan ) and docks at Bagamoya (in Tanzania ).

The cost is a bit high but it seems well worth it. What I found encouraging and enlightened is that the cruise is encouraging people to bring their own high powered weapons along on the cruise. If you don't have weapons you can rent them right there on the boat. They claim to have a master gunsmith on board and will have reloading parties every afternoon. The cruise lasts from 4-8 days. All the boat does is sail up and down the coast of Somalia waiting to get hijacked by pirates. Here are some of the costs and claims associated with the package:

- $800.00 US/per day per person, double occupancy (4 day minimum).

- M-16 full automatic: rental $25.00/day ammo at 100 rounds of 5.56 mm armor-piercing ammo at $15.95

- Ak-47 rifle: no charge. Ammo at 100 rounds of 7.62 mm com block ball ammo at $14.95

- Barrett M-107 .50 cal sniper rifle: rental $55.00/day. Ammo at 25 rounds 50 cal armor piercing at $29.95.

- Crew members can double as spotters for $30.00 per hour (spotting scope included).

- They even offer RPG's at $75 bucks and $200 for 3 standard loads.

- Mounted mini-gun available @ $450.00 per 30 seconds of sustained fire.

- Free complimentary night vision equipment.

Meals are not included but seem reasonable. Coffee and snacks on the Lido (top) deck from 7pm-6am

They offer group rates and corporate discounts, and even offer a partial money back if not satisfied.

Text from the ad:

"We guarantee that you will experience at least two hijacking attempts by pirates or we will refund half your money including gun rental charges and any unused ammo (mini gun charges not included). How can we guarantee you will experience a hijacking? We operate at 5 knots within 12 miles of the coast of Somalia . If an attempted hijacking does not occur we will turn the boat around and cruise by at 4 knots.

"We will repeat this for up to 8 days making three passes a day along the entire length
of Somalia . At night the boat is fully lit
and bottle rockets are shot off at intervals and loud disco music beamed shore side to attract attention. Cabin space is limited so respond quickly. Reserve your package
before April 29 and get 100 rounds of free tracer ammo in the caliber of your choice."

Here are a few testimonials:

"FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!!"
---- Stan, Denver, CO USA

"I got three confirmed kills on my last trip. I'LL never hunt big game in Africa again."
---- Lars , Hamburg , Germany

"Six attacks in 4 days was more than I expected. I bagged three pirates and my 12 yr old son sank two rowboats with the minigun. PIRATES 0, PASSENGERS 32! Well worth the trip. Just make sure your spotter speaks English."
----- Ned, Salt Lake City , Utah USA

"I haven't had this much fun since flying choppers in NAM . Don't worry about getting shot by pirates as they never even got close to the ship with those weapons they use
and their crappy aim--reminds me of a drunken 'juicer' door gunner we picked up from the motor pool back in Nam ."
----"Chopper" Dan, Toledo , Ohio USA .

"Like ducks in a barrel. They turned the ship around and we saw them bleed and cry in the water like little girls. Saw one wounded pirate eaten by sharks--what a laugh riot!! This is a must do."
---Zeke, Minnahaw Springs , Kentucky USA

:evilb::ernaehrung004::circle::boat::party-smiley-048:

Congrats

Not supposed to let the cat out of the bag so soon. :party-smiley-004:

SPK1 gave it 2 thumbs up and gets to be the first guy to drive it. :ernaehrung004: I will have Mike service it when it gets here and I am not going to carry a screwdriver so I can't be tempted to touch them.

I have Green and Blue in stock. There is a big overnight raft up at the dam Sat. night....Mine will be an display if you want to see REAL LED underwater lights in action:evilb:

Why is Royal Purple having a poker run in LA when they are right here in Humble?

http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/p...ml#post2860755

Jeff, Here's a chance to grab a large sponsor for one, or several of our runs. JoeW, didn't you used to sell boxes to the plant in Humble? Do you have any connections for us?

NIce rig Jeffery!

Oh boatman on a side note your bilge cleaner works great! Didn't know that it was a good cabin cleaner as well. Can one of you tell Squatter the difference between a dehumidifier and a bilge pump!:angry-smiley-038:

Dude, you can only blame yourself for having Squatter touch your boat.:grinser010:

On a similar note. What works best to take of the Tickfaw nasty hull stain?

Sand paper and a fresh paint job???

On and Off

Dark and Light

Start with Purple Clean. If that doesnt do the trick, I used muratic acid on mine, but my boat was in that water every weekend.

What is Purple Clean and where do I buy it?

Purple Stuff at HD or Lowes

I think that is the coon azz translation for Purple Power.

wear gloves

Corrosive and it burns. Don't let it get on anything aluminum.

Cocain and snake wine. Sounds like 1 hell of a party

Miami - Yesterday U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers conducting routine examinations of mail parcels intercepted two shipments of cocaine that were concealed within mail packages declared as personal effects. The cocaine weighing approximately .25 pounds each was packed in clear plastic and then placed within a diaper. The diaper was then placed within a package containing t-shirts and candy bars.


click for hi-res

A venomous snake preserved in a bottle of wine is seized from a traveler in Miami.




On the same day one of the same officers also discovered a cobra and other poisonous snakes that were inside a glass bottle containing some form of alcohol. The shipment was undeclared and within an express mail package. It is believed to be “snake wine” an alcoholic beverage that includes a whole venomous snake in the bottle. The practice originated in Vietnam and is popular in Southeast Asia. The snakes, preferably venomous ones, are not usually preserved for their meat but to have the snake poison dissolved in the liquor.

Like my trailer. I guess I'll just use on/off.

My brother n law is looking at this boat and wants my input....any of you monkeys know anything about this bucket?

http://houston.craigslist.org/boa/1159165770.html

Nope, beside the old 40's with the small windsheilds were the only sporty looking resin bucket that Formula ever made. I dig the pimp a$$ cabin interior.:cool:

Looks good to me. Even looks to have the signature pink and teal that is required to be cool.

On and off might do the same thing. better check it on a spot before you hose it down

All that stuff has a little diluted acid in it.

I emailed the guy a while back when the price was higher, but I don't rememebr what he told me.

Looks like a pretty good project.

Magic eraser:evilb:

Seriously though,Hit it with a 50/50 mix of water an muratc acid with a brush. You will have to wax it after though.

That stuff I let you use on your shop floor. It worked on most of the spots on my boat after the run but still have a little left I an going to hit wit MA.

Di(k:evilb:
Isn't on/off basically a diluted Muratic acid? I have some on/off in the chemical cabinet, I'll just use what I got.

it looks like a hell of a project that I don't want anything to do with....:grinser010:

My thoughts exactly.

Now that you have Smooth dialed in, you never want another I am sure.

nope i don't.....it is also nice having TMR around who does not mind working on our boats, and goes above and beyond my expedations:cool::ernaehrung004:
