Title: 18' Tahiti Tiger with 455 Olds, and Berkely pump BEST OFFER
Post by: Tahiti Tiger on September 19, 2008, 09:57:26 AM
I know I will hate my self for this but here it goes.

For sale my 1972 Tahiti Tiger, with 455 olds, as the title says. Hull is in pretty good shape, it is in its original gel coat red and gold. So it needs a paint job. Seats were rebuilt and re-upholstered 3 years ago, but are in excellent shape. 455 was rebuilt 4 years ago, and again 2 years ago when I accidentally over pressured the intake and filled it with water :p. Engine has Mondello marine intakes, SS heat riser block offs, Mondello oil restrictors, Mondello Jet boat cam, Mondello oil pump, Melodine 10 qt jet boat pan, roller rockers, Torquer Intake, Edelbrock 650 cfm carb, Delco 1 wire alt, MSD 6AL ign with 5k rev chip, Pertronix ignitor, MSD coil, MSD 8mm wires, and Holley fuel pump. Carpet was replaced about 2 years ago as well. Boat comes with 2 12 gallon saddle tanks that have been clean, and new senders installed, plus new Stewart Werner fuel gages. Included is a 23 gallon bow tank that I removed for weight. Pump is in great shape, new hoses, and wiring. This boat is turn key runner ever time, never falters or gives and problems. Trailer has LED tail lights for reduced draw on your vehicle with aluminum slot mags, and a new set of used tires. Also with the boat comes Skis, life jackets, anchor on bungee rope, dock bumpers, tow ropes, a very good set of through transom 4" Rewarders, and 4" tips.

Boat is $2,000 obo, first person with cash that is close to asking price goes home with it. NO TIRE KICKERS. Boat is in Gonzales, CA

Also if any one is interested 1991 Ford Bronco with 5.8, blown transmission. Passes smog every two years, current tags, power everything, and everything works. $500. obo

No, no lakes here in Hawaii.  There's a bay here on the windward side of Oahu called Kaneohe Bay....HUGE sandbar and on Sundays, lots of topless women in bikini's, beer and parties >:D....not quit a lake, but pretty calm and if you stay inside the bay, its an awesome spot for jetboats!  There are a couple guys out here that throw some roosters on a regular basis.

Right on!  Monday sounds good!

OK from tip of the pump to tip of the trailer 28' x 8' wide x 5' tall. As for the weight I have no idea, any one out there that can help us with a rough weight? I am guessing around 2,000 pounds or less.
