dont know what you are talking about. it looks good far away and close up from what i can see. very nice job and thanks for keeping us informed and with pics as you go. looking good man.

i know most people either hate them or love them. but i have to agree that they are worth it. now i hate being told what to do as do most people but i think this is one time i will agree. i had a cousin who was  traveling down a dirt road and a deer ran out in front of him and totalled his car. now he was hurt somewhat but was able to walk away due to wearing his seat belt. 
my boss`s daughter was taking her daughter to school because they missed the bus. she was on the freeway and lost control of the vehicle. she wasn`t wearing her seat belt but her daughter was. she was thrown out of the truck as it rolled and landed on top of her. needless to say she didn`t walk away from that at all. she was only 28 yrs old. her daughter came through it with nothing but some cuts and bruises.
now i do wear mine all the time. i look at it this way... it might save my life one day but why the hell should i give the freaking city,state,whatever my money for not wearing it.  so i guess my rant is over and i can say i believe we all have a right to our own opinion.

yeah just like that. and like i said in one post something like that has happened to me. i had a set of gauges given to me. i was supposed to pay for them but money got tight and i told him i still wanted them but wasn`t sure when i would be able to pay for them. he sent them to me and said pay when i can and then a couple days later sent an email saying don`t worry just keep them. and then one of the guys had and exhaust sytem that will fit my engine when i get it rebuilt and gave that to me for the shipping cost only. so i try and help when and where i can if possible.
i tell those i can about the site when i can. just to help maybe get more people involved here.

seriously these are a great bunch of guys. they all joke around with each other and we do have fun on here. but when you need something or need some answers just watch  the response you will get. i am still working on getting mine together but have learned so much from these guys just from what they have posted. i am hoping and praying that i can have mine done by this time next yr. hardest thing is the cash for it. limited income doesn`t help you fix up a boat. but i want to do it right the first time so i`m not in a big hurry. i know i will get it done and the way i want it to be the first time out.

what a minute now... i never gave you any flowers on the boat man... that would be Omars job not mine. j/k Omar. lol

oh man Shallow
you are going to fit right in here. posting pics of boat right away is great but posting pics of boat and wife .... wow.  just watch all the perverts umm i mean guys welcome you now. lol
anyways nice looking boat and welcome to SOCALJETBOATS.

thanks HD
i know you can it is just that i have a very dry,sarcastic sense of humor and i forget that some people have a hard time, cant understand the way it is meant to be. so i thought i would just respond in the way it was meant to be. all in fun and humor.

it has to come to this because it is all in fun. i know it is hard to get everyone together on a specific time,date,hour to go and get this done. like shallow running said ... if i lived closer i would be all to willing to help. but living in okie town like i do it is really not worth it for me. i also know that if i lived closer to everyone else i could have a ton of help getting my boat done. i have been lucky to find this site and read and learn from all of you guys. i have also been shown the generousity of those on this site towards me with some parts for my boat for either nothing or just shipping charges.
and what really makes this a great site is that we ARE ABLE TO POST something like this and most everyone takes it for how it was meant and that is good natured ribbing. nothing is meant to be mean spirited and if it is taken that way then i apologize for it.

dang  guys
this thread is getting to be longer then 2Sav`s boat thread. figured you all would have had this done and out by now. if only i was closer would be willing to help. and no it isn`t like an hr or two drive. more like 18 hrs.
think i need to start a poll thread on how many pages it is before you all get that there boat out and at someones house,trailer whatever.

Hi John
my condolences to you and his family on the loss of your friend and family member. but the one thing is that he died doing what he loved. how many of those we know and loved can say the same thing. knowing he died doing what he loved is great but does not take away the loss and hurt of losing him. and that is one thing i would love to do, die doing something i love. again my condolences to you and his family.

Well my boy talked to him and he is going get the motor on Sunday . The guy works 12hr days for $900.00 hour making bags

damn 429 need to find out where this guys works. i could use a job paying that much an hour. lol. i know mistake on the dollar amount.  just  had to give ya some grief on it. and hell if he was making that much an hour hell he should help me put my boat together. lol.
seriously though, it is great to see how much this board is willing to help him and his kids out. i wish i was able to do something to help out but not able to. 

very cool info there. never even thought about what it takes or what the driver goes through with a Top Fuel dragster.
very nicely laid out and easy to read. thanks alot for that.
oh and yeah DAMMMMMNNNN.. lol
