WarZone / Re: 90 year old war hero being harrassed.

Goddam soccer moms. That's the problem and the majority of most HOA governing boards. Thank gawd every day I do not have one, but my last house involved more tha one heated discussion with a "Board Member", only to be followed up on by a visit a week or so later and "conversation" with a HUSBAND(s) of a "Board Member".

Never backed down, but still, kinda reminds me of the old "protection" rackets running when I was a kid in Youngstown, Ohio. Remarkeable! Yet people buy into those devlopments.

Live and learn. But those people need a good spanking in the pocketbook, IMO.

The No Wake Zone / Re: What to do? Ebay advice with bad item
« on: December 03, 2009, 06:31:17 PM »
Ebay is VERY big on this sort of stuff. Keep the listing number in your "Bought items"  and follow through the 14 pages or so Ebay will make you go through to file a formal complaint. Then Ebay will take over. If they do a lot of business on Ebay, they will take care of you to avoid what Ebay can and WILL do (Seen it done first hand on a handloader I bought a few years ago). Else it's going to be small claims court in the jurisdiction where you bought it from.

If it was messed up, why'd you try and fix it and not start all this then? You MIGHT have done yourself in a lil there, G.

I said it before, I'll say it again, 70% of what you find on Ebay or Craigs list is either a scam or a rip-off. There are deals to be had from honest people, but be smart about it! (I've been ripped a time or two, but normally make out OK, eh Jeremy?).

Funny Guy! Now I have to disconnect a water line in the Moo when your not looking!

LOL stop it! I'm done near sinking (And literally sinking), these things. I'm not the brightest bulb in the room, but I have learned when to turn the switch "off".  ;D

Just throw me under the boat why dont you!  ;D Getting done just not as fast as I had hoped. Between life getting in the way and Effin clients not paying there bills (The new one is I have had 3 in the last month just close up shop in the middle of the night and stick me with unpaid bills...JOY) just not going like I had hope!

I dont care what I have to do, I will be there... In the Sanger, under my own power and running the sh!t out of her!

LMAO It's OK G! Just giving you shit buddy! Anything I can do, I will help. Just update me with where you're at. The engines pretty much plug n play, so is the pump, all comes down to body, paint and interior work on that one! (Hopefully you left the engine alone, only had a few hours run time on it)

I'd hate to have to come up there the end of the month and drop a {gasp} Ford in that thing for ya......

And not only is the water great there at that time of year, the "Bar" part is even BETTER!!! Houseboats moored in the marina giving us all the  :thumbup: as we went right by them with open headers, cool as hell!

Hope we can double the turnout this year! I'm reserving two rooms so hopefully my lil brother can bring Moo again. Otherwise, I'm gonna be tossed up as to what to bring! (Like a woman and what dress, huh?).

Kids are looking forward to it SOOO much this year, they had a BLAST! Convinced my neices they want to go this year too, so that may sway my brother!

If that Scorpion is even close to your Schiada, it'll rank VERY well in all catergories Nick!

I'm still trying to figure how I can get the Greenie to even compete in any of this, and keep my wallet, house and sanity! Most original? maybe? That boat has me in a quagmire as to what I'm gonna do with it.

The Moo certainly has to be the most unique as far as paint (Not to my credit, all I did was repower the thing, mostly), and the Saguaro, when done probably mid summer, has big shoes to fill from Omars and the one 2Sav had.

Fastest? Don't even want to try in that arena right now. I'm unpopular enough with the mediocre speeds I CAN hit, kinda hard to find co-pilots these days except for the kids! (My Father refused to ride in Moo after I fired it up in the driveway to make sure everything checked out before heading to the lake this past Saturday. Tried to tell him it's kinda docile, comparatively to you guys,  ;D, didn't work).

« on: November 30, 2009, 07:06:11 PM »
I would go 4 port, were it me Brian. But that is assuming a lot of things. If I already had a couple 2 ports, i'd go the other way. But if you want the cleanest install, I'd mount a 4 port right under the front carb at the front of the engine, then (Me being me, and knowing that)  waste about 10 or more feet of stainless tubing getting the bends and flares right. But that's me.

You've not skimped at ALL on your boat and it shows it. I know where you'll go!

Mine are inline, Jeremy.

I think Boost is going to be running Quick Fuel double pumpers, vs my singles. I don't think it's possible to run them inline like mine are, although I thought it impossible to do mine at first, and I did it anyhow. Can't see doubles ever fitting physically inline on any TR I have ever seen, but I've been proven wrong before, and often, by this group. (My 4160 single pumpers only have metering blocks on their primaries, which allowed the clearance to mount them and run the traverse linkage across for the throttle).

If I ever do it again though, with double pumpers, I'd probably either run a 4 port regulator or a log to 2 dual ports mounted to the front of the intake manifold, and run bent stainless lines from the reg(s) to the carbs versus braided. Braided looks cool, but won't last (Look at the pics of it in my Green Sleek), PITA to keep it bright and shiney, for one, and eventually, they WILL leak.

No pics of what my brain is envisioning for it though, that I have found. Everyone runs Braided.

Just my .02 which probably isn't even worth that.

Remember Willis and that dude w/ the 150 mph boat like Rods tunnel are still signed on here.  I thot this was about "our" boats.  Brad just posted a 94 mph pass, who can top it?  As far as "badass", seen V-drive Jerry's "Honcho"?  I remember when I first signed on here, I thot Omars blue Suguaro was one super nice ride....some day.

Omars Saguaro is one beautiful machine, to be sure, and I hope mine looks as sweet as that one did when Omar had it. But Yours is one sweet ass machine as well, Terry, as is Hallet Daves, and most of Tom's that I've seen.

Hey Ray are you sure moo wasnt one of them there fire dogs in a past life ;D ;D
No, Moo wasn't a firehouse dog, she was the "Milk Man" before I got it,  ;D

Jacked Nordie's old thread to hell, but here it is.

Dunno what to tell ya dude. I take back EVERYTHING and ANYTHING. Made a big speech a couple years ago that I didn't care if a Bayliner was pulled up to returns, we'd find a SKU and return it. (Little did I know then what I was subjecting myself to on getting into boats, but I wanted one!).

True story, I can give you phone numbers to verify it.

The actual program is simply take care of the freaking customer. Not in such terms, but that's what it means. Apparently, from what I'm gathering, the So Cal stores are not participating, for the most part. Not good for them, VERY good for me as I'm ranked against them. In your case, what's a couple gallons of paint? maybe $150? I throw more than that away, every day, before 9AM, and i guarantee they do too!

Long and the short of it is this. We all know the people ripping us off and taking advantage, but we apply that to everyone. Human nature. Your local store manager, and DSM, need to get on the program or their replacements will figure it out first. Period. It's ZERO TOLERANCE. If you want to see this in action, call our AWARE line, I forget the number, but trust me, heads WILL roll over something as stupid as this. Just take the FOKKING paint back, lol. (I know for a fact we've lost 6 So Cal store managers in the last 5 months due to this kinda crap).

Granted, I'm in trouble every Monday for markdowns, but in the end, when we come out of this, I'm gonna be the shining star, trust me, for the customer service now.
