Not the current boat but def my favorite...belonged to my folks when I was a kid, old man sold it and I bought it and re did it a few years back. One of the many "I shouldn't have sold that" moments!

Looks good. I know what you mean though. I get tired of working on the same thing, sell it, get something else and years later I wish I never sold what I had.   
Circle of life I guess

1970 GTX 6 pack Dana  bought for $600 sold for $1000 in 1980   8)
1969 6 pack Super Bee  4 speed Ramcharger hood. Early production made for TV commercial.  Bought for $100 because the guy was gonna make a dirt track car with this 60,000 mile beauty.  Sold for $2500  :banghead:
1969 Six pack Road Runner w/ factory vinyl top. Bought and sold for $2500 back in the eighties.
1969 Hemi Road Runner 440 in the hole and the original running Hemi in the truck. My buddy got his $1500 together a day before I did back in the early eighties.  He has since turned down $50K for the car as it sat back in the day.   O0

The list is at least another 6 cars long.  But I still got to live my high school and college years in some bad ass rides.  Hell I don't even have a garage for any of my cars or boats, and haven't had since about 1990.  :mad:

That's quite the list there...that GTX would fetch a nice chunk of change right about now.

Recently bought a jet boat with extremely limited history besides what this guy bullshitted about doing to it. So, I decided to google it and this post popped up. Let me know if you want to buy it back otherwise I will start fixing the problems it has from sitting for so long. I wanted to give you the opportunity to buy it back because I have lost a couple of vehicles I wish I had back. Let me know

Very cool of you to offer that up. You might want to try to pm him. It looks like he hasn’t been on in almost 3 years. A pm should send an email notification if he has that setup.

never planned on buying a jet boat until a neighbor was in a really bad situation and needed it gone for dirt cheap. Now either someone can buy it or it becomes a fix it and have fun this summer and eventually hit up Desert Storm next year project. It does have a built 455 that sounds mean as hell so idk
