you bringing this thing to the tom papp memoral?
merry x-mas bro

hey ralphy boy. no i am not bringing it to the tom papps deal. the boat is in parker and i would have to go get it from vegas and then haul it to the location. i thought of coming over to watch without it. can i see whats going on or do i need a boat to get to the area where everybody is at and what is the excat date of the memorial...the thread at pb is so long and i dont wat to go through a million pages to find it ..is roxy going? back at ya merry x-mas to you and your family

there aint going to be boat buyers there....i will miss roxy, maybe i can rent a boat over there, do they have that or not this time of the year. its alot of time and miles to get that boat over there..

so you dont know for sure if your going????or is that just in case something comes up?

If Ralph bails, I'll gladly give you a lift over to the cove.

this place is so cool

so you dont know for sure if your going????or is that just in case something comes up?

not sure, your buddy Roxy took sick yesterday and is now in the vet we will pick her up at 8am today. but, the damage is done 875.00 for an overnight visit. We will still try and make it out.

for all you lookers this boat will be at lake elsinore this weekend, so come buy and drool alittle, just dont get any on the boat........

im sure ralphs dog is MUCH bigger now....so it wont have any problems gettin on the bow now 


...man, i wish i was going this weekend 

X2

i gotta work

Saw this boat at the TPR deal and I gotta say, that is by far the CLEANEST all original boat I have ever seen from that time frame.  It looks like it came from a time capsule or something...  Good luck with the sale and nice talking with you yesterday..  RD

thanks riverdad for the nice words, it was nice to have talked with you also.

mr. rebel thanks bro. it was good to see ya again. if you were alittle earlier to the rest. we could have got a bigger table and sat together, next time, also you have some real nice well behaved kids. good job..

brad--- ralphs dog (roxy ) didn t make the trip and for some reason i dont think she would of been near the boat.....or boats..being that she is pretty big i hear.

also the price if this boat has changed to 12k. tired of all the tire kickers. not saying anybody here, just some out there. maybe that will keep them away and i also think its worth that, just my .01 cause i am broke white thrash..

Thanks dude! I refuse to show any such posts to the kids! That way they don't get anything over on me! (They ARE great kids though! I guess I did something right in a former life.)

Roxy might notta been there, but I'll tell you what, Ralph was "Parent of the Year" at this thing!  What a beautiful, fun lil girl too! I think the memories of all the shenannigans going on around her, while she was playing, she wil remember well! (As mine will! They're already committed to going next year!) 

Good Job Ralph!

BTW, Your boat is worth MORE that 12K, IMHO. I don't think there's a cleaner original 70's jet boat in existence! Too bad there's not a Barrett-Jackson for boats!  Hmmmmmm   

Ray

your  welcome ray, lori and myself were talking about ralphs cute little girl also in how she was behaved and very polite. him and  his wife are doing a good job also..  thanks again for the nice words about the sled..i thought they had boats at barret-jackson. hmmm your right..i think a  collector would like to have it, if there is such a thing..

as a person that has never had any kids in 42 years and will not have any. i seem to sense the behavior of children real quick, probably due to the fact that unbehaved  and out of control children irratate me. so i always make a point to tell parents that i think their doing a good job...

oyu know ray, i dont know if i could actually sell it when it came down to it. i think i can then when i have someone semi-seriuos . then i start ?ing my decision..i dont think i will have to cross that bridge. everybody wants to go fast these days. the jetboat crowd isnt much for original and slow. so it is what it is...no worries..
dave

right there with that comment of having a sweet piece of history is why i dont want to sell it... i would like to see your sled. where are the pics at? evrytime i have said i wanted to do something to this boat everybody, meaning all my friends say dont touch it, just go buy something else to mess with..

i have even had my friends which some of them buy and sell boats like i change underwear tell me if they had it they would not sell it. so i ahve basically come to the decision not to sell the boat. but it gets harder and harder to keep taking it out. it drives me crazy to see it get wet and sit in the sun for a day.  iknow it sounds crazy but thats my ocd side of me..i jus think it adds to the boat that i will still use it..ok it is what it is. enough about my sled..thanks again for the comments i dop appreciate them..
