LOL!

We share one thing in common then.

When I fished the NE BASS amateur trail, I always got a kick out of
guys with monster engines on bass boats. *Of course the same logic of
getting to the fish firstest/fastest was the primary motive according
to them.

I was interviewed once for The Fisherman after I won a tournament and
one of the questions was about the boat and engine - was a monster
engine necessary the guy asked.

So I answered honestly - No it wasn't.

To which I added - I just like to go fast. *:)

Speaking of monster engines...

I stopped by my favorite dealership yesterday to say hello to the guys,
and noticed they had a large steel rolling motor stand with a Yamaha
F350 on it.

Good grief. I knew the motor was, uh, large, when I saw one on the back
of a Grady a few months ago, but to see one on a stand, fully extended,
as it were, so the skeg was just a few inches off the floor...holy tamale!

Which lake has 900 miles of shoreline?
Lake Lanier

I doubled checked, Lanier has 700 miles of shoreline.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Lanier


Now?

I'm thinking it might be down to 12 miles or so.

Which is a damn shame!


It only has 12 miles of shoreline now, but 900,000 square miles of beach.


LMAO!

Put Hillary up against any of those and you have a crap shoot.

They are monsters aren't they?

I saw a pair of them rigged on a 26' Contender heading up to the Boat
Show in Boston. Unbelievable.

Be careful with this one.
Based upon the way the current owner put this up for sale, I'd say
there is close to zero pride of ownership. Lot's of dirt in the bilge,
trash under the helm, etc. Anybody who cared about the boat would have
spent 10-15 mintues cleaning it up before taking the photos for the
ad. Anybody who *doesn't* care about the boat probably has been less
than attentive to maintenance and repair.


Well, not to be contradictory, but some people feel that if it's
comfortable to them it ought to be comfortable to you too.


Both of my boats, I purchased cheap, almost dirt cheap. the apholstry
wasn't the greatest on either, but they were both mechanically well
taken care of with sound hulls.


But sure, I'd say that $3-3300.00 should be about right, that is, if
the engine checks out ok. Of course, I know you'll want to at least
run it on the muffs first.- Hide quoted text -

I'm the same way, I like having projects, and don't mind working on
something when I get a good deal. This wasn't it, see my reply to Tom.
It was a good looking boat, but goober did some "customizing" ie:
instead of fixing it correctly, go out back and find a piece off of
some junk car of something!- Hide quoted text -

No pride of ownership.....

Always a red flag for me.

I guess that's why the OP asked for "opinions". :-)

Yeah, I don't mind a project at a project price, but he just didn't
have the right stuff so he'd cobble up things. I'd fix his customizing
for a price!
