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!

I sure hope you get some good responses, Personally, I think we're all a little retarded

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)...

Just my opinion and as always, subject to ridicule

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

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.
