Yah, I'm not quite into the fanatic stage but for us up here in the great lakes I think the IO is the way to go. Now, don't get me wrong, twin E Tec's on a bracket would be so sweet! But something like that is for the rich man, and I'm not.
I do believe I'll be on the hunt for a big fat glasser, all rotted out and nasty, with a nice 5.7 in her. Or, if somehow I could stumble on a late model 4.3 MPI (220 hp range), that would be pretty sweet too!
Yah, I'm loving it! Having visions of big water dancing in my head......
Thanks Jenn for letting Jason live
Yah, she's pretty awesome! With all the boats I've brought home she has said...
"That is the ugliest boat I have ever seen in my whole life!"
She didn't say that this time! HA!
Rare birds my friend, very rare! Man am I glad I scored one!
...easily a 20 rattle-can hull
Actually, on this one, you'll be seeing a little more bare alum than paint:thumb:
I think this one is gonna keep you busy for quite a while for sure.
You got that right, this one isn't going anywhere!
Wow is all I can say,congrats.This will be a cool build to follow.
Nice score Jason! Looking forward to following another epic thread!
Thanks guys! Well, there won't be much to follow for a while though. I may spend a little time here and there on tear down but the real building part is a long way out.
I can't wait to see pictures of this one turtled,
Ha! Yah, idunno if this one is going to make it up side down. The tip method might be about as good as it gets here.
there was a lot of love put into that seanymph. I'm happy for you.
Yah, that was hard, but it's all good.
to finish up the miniscule Islander?
Ha, yah! When I was working on her this morning she did feel a little small actually.
How far was the tow?
So, let me know your price on the 470.
He was in Grand Rapids area and I was in Midland - we met half way for the swap. I really wanted to do it that way so I KNEW the trailer could handle the load. The last thing I wanted to do was show up only to find her sitting on a trashed trailer. That would have been a huge waste.
Bah, shipping on that 470 would be $$$.
Nice boat or should we call this one a ship? ;-)
Yah man, she is almost intimidating she is so big. Not quite, but almost.
I can tell you are pumped, so fist bump!
Really happy for you!
Thanks broham! Someday, when she is a finished up and floating on a big lake, you'll need to swing by for a trip:joyous:
WTH???
