Bad son....or don't upset Daddy...take your pick!

Not so sure I'd want to get in the middle of this one...

Yeah, I would steer clear of that too... Son could be an axe murderer on the lam, and then "HEY, what's that guy doing with my boat!!!"

And what the heck is 'Walmart to Walmart

Walmart offers a Western Union type service for money transfer.

I can go online (IIRC) or any Walmart store and send a money wire for someone to pick up at another Walmart anywhere. I do think I have to specify a city or specific Wallys and of course its addressed to someone specific, who is the only 1 who can get the money. Wallys are everywhere pretty much. Whens the last time you say a Western Union store front? Or a location that offers their service? I think Wallys service its called Money-gram.

Well the tires for sure will cost you to get rid of them, and...well...the boat as well. Unless you have more time and money then brains, that boat will never be usable again.

The last three have one thing in common....tri-hull barges that need to go to a landfill. Does anyone even want this style of boat anymore??

My dad had a tri hull, was amazingly stable and fast (to me). It had a 120hp merc I/O and I could hit 38 mph. Man it sure seemed like we were flying.

My dad's tri hull runs just under 50 on GPS (I believe it is the limit for the hull). Very stable and roomy. And our lake doesn't get very rough most days so we don't ever really get knocked around. It was the same boat his dad had as a kid. My family loves it. So yes, there are people that still want the tri hulls. ;)

Haha, poking in a Bear's den I see šŸ˜

I can't stand how they ride.

Ha ha, that was not my intent. I'm a bit sarcastic by nature, so my apologies to all my boat brothers. Honestly doesn't matter what you have, as long as it's on the water......happy boating!!

Wow. Someone left a cap of a boat behind.....where did the rest go??

Looks like a cuddy cabin boat was 'converted' into an open bow......

Wonder how long the seller has owned the property.......

No takers for an open bow to a cuddy conversion? :rolleyes:

When I googled the word Grotto it contained the word picturesque in the definition... So That's certainly applicable!

When showing your boat, good photos are important. Be sure your socks match your motor. And get a good grip on yourself.

Doesn't seem like too bad of a deal. Those Hydrostreams can be way fast, and are pretty easy to rebuild if need be. I'd love to have one.
