Nice find Ray, congrats! I like the metal flake, diamond stitch and original splash guard. 
Ummm... Why is there two key holes though?
Oh, and... Do you have a thing for sinking boats or something?

Josh, those are some great pics! Wish you guys were closer to me.... Or should I say, that I was closer to y'all. Is the beach in all those pics the AVI?
One of these days I'll make it to a SCJB event, since I didn't end up moving to OC this summer after all, I'll have to keep trying... and finding a reason to haul my boat four hundred miles or better...

The No Wake Zone / Re: HOW TO MARKET AN $80,000 ALL WOOD FLAT BOTTOM?
« on: August 18, 2009, 05:43:25 PM »
OK. I don't have much but I'll put my .02 in. Aside from the price being steep and being discouraging by saying you're not going to find buyers...
I know there's two restaraunts in Lake Tahoe that regularly hold wood boat events and their restaraunts are themed around them... "Garwood's Grille and Pier" on North shore and "The Riva Grille" on South shore. If there's any place I would start looking for buyers, that's where I'd start. Not that you could take that little flatty on Tahoe, but that's where the wood boat people are.
Basically, find out where the vintage wooden boat enthusiasts are and that's where I'd do my marketing. That, and... Can never leave the "DuPont Registry" out as it has many specialty vehicles of every type for ridiculous prices and people buy them.
Cheers and good luck to your friend.

Here Here, Glass Cutter.... That's what I'm talkiing about.
I've said it before about this chick Josh, SILENCE SCREAMS LOUDER THAN ANY WORDS. Why do you even answer her texts or calls?
What does your heart tell you? I'll have to send you a PM later and share my story with you about a crazy bitch that I once knew, Mary Jane... No joke, that was her name. I felt like I was on the Jerry Springer Show while the whole prego thing was going on. In the end, I followed my heart (which told me there was no way it was mine, her calendar math was off) and I was right, it was not my kid!

« on: August 12, 2009, 05:41:22 PM »
I have been told that a good reason to run your scoop backwards is to do away with the USCG approved spark arrestor. If the scoop is facing forward you must run a spark arrestor, if the scoop is facing towards the stern of the boat then the law allows you to run a normal air filter (keeping backfires or flames from coming at passengers/driver). Kinda makes sense to me.
This is an interesting thread though, I'd like to know the true reasons behind it. I guess since my "doghouse" came with the air passage facing backwards from the factory... and I don't race my boat... That I must be gay... Hmmm...
I've also been told that guys that crack gay jokes at other obviously straight men are only in denial of their own gayness. Maybe they just fantasize about it in their free time, which gives them the ideas for the jokes in the first place... Hmmm...

That is EXCELLENT stuff right there.
I especially love the last one! Isn't it Plesh that has a ridiculous blower motor that's been sitting for years? Not going in this one, is it?
Either way, congrats on what looks to be an excellent find! Another Southwind in the mix!
P.S. - Project boat? Looks more like a "drop a motor in and go" kind of boat to me. But hey, what do I know? Still a rookie with this shyt.

Hmmm...
Thanks Glen for your excellent information. Going to have to pass on this one and hold out for the good stuff.
I always thought there was a fully electric place diverter/jetavator until some guy (who obviously did not know what he was talking about) told me that a "hydraulic" jetavator WAS an "electric" jetavator because it had an electric pump.
Now I know he was wrong and I was right.... I'm always right.

Hmmm... VERY interested here. Does this work in conjuction with a hydraulic ram on the nozzle? I didn't realize they had such a large control module to go with them. I'm sure if it came off a Berk JC, that it would work on my Berk JG, right??
Some of the vets give me the or

« on: July 14, 2009, 05:48:37 PM »We specialized in finish carpentry for 17 years and did fairly well. When the market took a turn, we shut it down. Phone hasn't rang for over a year.
Times have been a little tough lately but we're managing to squeak by. Although the profit sharing isn't as plentiful as it once was, we're still managing to land jobs. We are half staffed compared to a year ago but things are picking up again and we're thinking of hiring another two or three guys with the new jobs lined up.
What do you do now, Bowrider?

whoes closest to this thing?
Terry, I believe Glenn would be closest to the blue and white cruiser. I'm North of Monterey about two hours, Glenn is about an hour South of me. Tom, Josh and Rhonda are about two hours South of there as well. There was someone else on here in Mountain View which is also about an hour from there, don't know who that was. Sure does look nice and shiny, that's for sure!

Yes it dooo, Terry. It sure seems like it anyway. I highly doubt the 765hp though.
Much like how I know for a fact this next boat did not run 114mph. Crazy CL people

Congratulations Brad and Jenn. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Hope your day goes off with only one hitch. Brad, just remember these two most important words of your future, "yes dear." Maybe we can get the ladies and the Southwinds together sometime this summer, thinking about the Blythe trip in August...
Have a FABULOUS WEDDING and don't do anything I would on your honeymoon.

Yeah Ray, I'm sure he would love to have my swim steps. Unfortunately for Brad they're not up for grabs... not even as a wedding gift. I told him if I had a capable wood shop I would fab them up for him without hesitation. The only thing I'm lacking is a Planer and I would mass produce them. Maybe I'm on to something here...
Frank (povertyjet) had a good reference to a boat salvage yard in Rancho Cordova (near Sacramento) that would probably have something to his liking. Can't remember the name right now, I know it's on here somewhere...

Here's my Southwind, only one new pic I think...

Nordie,
Cut her off, don't take her calls, do not answer texts and do not answer the door if she comes knocking... My theory is that "Silence screams louder than words". It's worked well all my life to help them get the point.
To answer the post topic:
Today I feel like, drinking a couple of Scotches, smoking a big phattie while watching Megan Foxx give me a lap dance and my girlfriend giving me a massage. That's a good start to what would follow...
