seems reasonable, but what do I know, I buy a set of headers and end up with another boat! Now, I'm looking at , and thinking about, 2sav's Saguaro, someone stop me!

In his Posting he claims " Basset headers, Holly 750, mild cam, new steering cable, tandem axel competitive trailer with new tires and new rails. Runs strong "

What's up with having to pull the ford?

Sounds creepy to me

If it were me, I would run the piss out of the Ford and save the headaches of the switchover (nothing interchanges)... :sly:

Just my opinion and as always, subject to ridicule  :D

Those were Southwinds circle boats .
Competative right from the factory .
Not to mention Rare.
There is a guy in Michigan I think that got his hands on a SW T-deck mold and was building them.
He built at least one but thats all I've heard of it.
Jim Rich was whoring the company out for a while.
Paul Kane (LakesOnly) has one too.
Only two I've ever seen.

Dont know if they are still around though.
The market for a new, small boat is tough as it is.
Not a big fan of the paint schemes.
I just dont think a classic boat should have a skittles vomit paint job.
Just my opinion  8)

That's one of the nice things about these old jet boats, you can get a new boat every week for under three grand! When I first started out, I'd relist the boats before they even made it to my house. The Eco was better then. If they sold, great i made a little money and if they didnt, fine I keep getting 'em wet. I just happened to get were I wanted to be, Blown Flatbottom, sooner that I had anticipated. Thats a nice SW, if you dont buy it I will.   >:D
