Alright guys, I'm gonna go ahead and make the drive out to see this thing...
My question to you guys is what are the main things I should be looking for beyond the obvious. Someone has already mentioned the foam in the bow and whether the fiberglass tanks have been replaced. Are there any other things I should look for that may help me in negotiating?

C bowl doesn't have a split- but can still have a diverter, rideplate, etc
They are can be swapped.

Thanks for the explanation, I've been thinking it was something internal every time I saw it come up.

I got some more pics from the guy in the bay area, honestly it's almost unbearable talking to the guy. I was trying to get some more details from him but he kept going on and on about the difference between trailer tires and auto tires. If he was easier to communicate with I'd probably pursue this one but he spends the whole time on the phone trying to convince me that it's turn key instead of answering my questions.
Here's the pics if anyone is interested...

I called on a couple of boats today, both the one I posted at the top and this one that's been referenced in other threads on here...http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/boa/4514533958.html
The red and tan one above was just built for a seventy something year old man and his wife is making him sale it. It's all original gel coat that's been clear coated over. The interior is all original. It sounds like it was a ski race boat at one time as he said it used to have a twin turbo in it. I really like the look of that boat but I'm leaning towards a project. We'll just have to see how long it sits up there and I might start talking money with him.
The other one is owned by some guy in the bay area. He's asking 4 grand but if I got that one it would be with the intention of doing a full rebuild and I'm thinking it would have to be at least half that, what do you guys think?

Yeah guys, that boat is beautiful and I'm tempted to sale the Ultra and go pick that thing up but I'd really like to do one myself. That hull is speaking to me though and I'm on the hunt now to pick one up. Ideally a solid hull that doesn't run. I'd like to redo the interior to my liking, have a motor and pump built for it, redo the trailer and have someone dial in the gel coat or paint.
Thanks for all the info so far, I'm liking what I'm hearing about it and I think one of these would strike the right balance for me.
Let me know if anyone knows of one that may be for sale.

How you doing boys!
So I've got my first jet boat now, a 96 Ultra LX I believe but I've got a bug for a winter project (when that time comes). I'm leaning towards a closed bow cruiser like the Sprectra 20's. Something with a little more freeboard than the 18 and 19 footers.
I found this Hallett on craigslist and I love the look of the hull and they did a great job on the paint scheme. What's the story on this particular hull design and are there very many of them out there? I'd love to find a project boat and dump some time and money into it this winter but I'd like to start with a reputable hull. How do these ride in chop? Also what can you expect speed wise from a mildly built pump gas motor?
As far as looks are concerned, this thing checks all the boxes for me.
Thanks for any help, here's the link to the ad but I grabbed the pics for after the ad expires.

I'm watching but with much less emotional investment than I do for the BPL. I don't have much hope for the US team so I default to England, mostly just because of all the Liverpool players.

The No Wake Zone / Re: Anyone tow with a V6?
« on: June 06, 2014, 07:17:02 AM »
I know there's a lot of V6's that can do the job but I'll continue to try and steer you away from a JK if you plan to tow with it. My Rubicon is only rated at 3500 lbs. towing and I'm telling you that's pushing it. Every manufacturer makes a bitchen' V6 that's capable but the combination in the JK isn't set up for towing. I'd avoid it if you plan on it being your tow vehicle.
In the next year or two we're going to have so many awesome options. Dodge has already brought out their V6 turbo diesel in their 1500 and Grand Cherokee. My parents have the new Grand Cherokee and it's badass but we had to lecture my mom for a couple weeks to make sure she knew to only use the green handled pump at the gas station. I hear both Toyota and Nissan will have an inline 5 cylinder cummins in their half ton trucks. We love our jeep but for your purposes I think there's better options.

I'd stay away from a 6 cylinder unless it's a Cummins!
My wife has a JK unlimited Rubi and I've towed my 16' whaler with it and we got it there but it wasn't fun. The 6 cylinder just wasn't enough, not for me anyways and the breaking was a little sketchy at times (no breaks on the trailer). I also had an '06 Tacoma with the V6 and at that time I was towing a Mastercraft Prostar 190. Took it to the river a few times with that truck and the hills sucked.
Rolling this thing now and it doesn't even know it's got anything back there...

Trailers / Need to borrow/rent trailer
« on: June 05, 2014, 07:53:40 AM »
I've got a beat up single axle trailer that used to carry my 16' whaler. I've been thinking about modifying it to temporarily hold my Ultra so I can work on my Ultra's trailer. I'd be willing to let anybody use it that wants to but we'd have to modify it first.

Whats Cookin? / Re: Bloody Mary's
« on: May 21, 2014, 07:25:43 PM »
My wife and I tried like 10 recipes from a google search a couple weekends ago. Hard to go wrong with anything from the Food Network. I can't remember exactly what we settled on but my wife wrote it down somewhere.
We were salting the rim of the glass with lime flavored margarita salt, salt and pepper, even some type of steak seasoning. We tried the normal celery and olives on the toothpick but also tried pickles and beef jerky. You can turn a bloody mary into a whole freakin' meal. I'll try and get the recipe from her and post it up but there's a ton of awesome ideas out there.
