Re: I wanna puke and laugh at the same time . . .

I've done that before.

I mean puke & laugh at the same time. Usually, it's all over one of my guitars, though - not on the boat;)

Not sure what the picture is showing . . .

Did you back it through the garage door?

Let's see -- we have a 225 HP engine, jackplate, four-blade stainless prop, and oh yes, a $25.00 worthless hydrofoil, one worthless trim tab, and one tail light missing.

Yes, Silvertip got it.

Not mine, found on ebay and the guy is parting the whole boat out. Looks to me like it was hit by a car. Anyway, I think it is at least a 70 MPH boat, and the flippin' idiot bolts that POS to it that probably made it a 60 MPH basket case . . . :| :% :}

Have I mentioned I HATE hydrofoils?

The hydrofoil looks to be mounted under the ventilation plate also. :'(

I'll give the hydrofoil one positive nod . . . how the heck did it stay in one piece at those speeds? Can you imagine trying to hold onto that thing at 60+ :0

Reel Poor got it right with the :'( She has been violated . . .

I think you mean on the left? I've been trying to figure it out too. That's where I think it was hit, but the missing tail light is on the other side. Here's the link, and there are three more pics, but I can't tell anything from them. I wanna call the guy just to ask and call him an idiot, but like whatever . . .

I keep getting a picture of this thing flying across the lake with just the fin & prop in the water like one of those hydrofoil crafts they use to cross the English Channel!:D The pumps & hoses must be to bail it out 'cause the whole stern would be under water when it wasn't at full power.

I dont think that boat can run no 70mph except on the highway,i may be wrong but i dont see it happening!and at 70 those hoses and pumps would be gone.they must be a freahwater system for bait or something.and i would think you could get a little better deal for that motor than 7grand but what do i know.

Re: I wanna puke and laugh at the same time . . .

I dunno Ron. I think she would do 70 without all of that carp tacked to her. I had the same hull from a different builder with a Merc/Alpha 5.7 TBI 250 I/O and it did 60 GPS empty.

This pic is from the Cheetah site, 20 footer, very low deadrise, no pad though . . . They are considered somewhat of the low end of the CA/AZ custom boat scene:

Re: I wanna puke and laugh at the same time . . .

Good idea Bondo, here's what I sent him:

I was wondering if you had some more pics of the boat? I may want to talk about some of the other pieces. I think I could use the interior, the trailer, and the trim tabs. Where's the port tab? I have an old 20.7 California Cool that I think has the same hull and all of that stuff would work with. Will that hydrofoil fit on my Alpha drive? How'd it work on the OB? :devil: 8) :D
