Smokin' deal if all is good. I likey!
-
Interesting open bow conversion. Put it on the water before you hand him the cash.
-
Dont forget to look over the trailer too.

-
that i did too, looks good, wood is newer also, has brakes, my old trailer's dont work, welded the trailer shut......,any other thoughts on the boat, what else should i check out, everything seems solid......
-
My boat is a 1974 eliminator and has teh exact hull as that one. I love the boat but she aint gonna run fast without ALOT of motor ! I love her and she can take some pretty stout water but she dont fly like AN 18 FT TUNNEL!
-
With two folks she runs about 58 put in two more and she is pretty slow. With 8? I might cry!
-
lol, texas boy that was funny........ya he said about the same 55+ but loaded he said its only a cruiser....its ok cause my boat now only does 45 and its done 10more mph im ok.....thanks for your thoughts
-
Other than the speed the boat is AWESOME! The handling is great, I can go into chop that will sink most jets. no water over the sides or back! and she still shoots a nice tail even at 55!
-
does anyone else have an opinion on the "omega" boat or the jacoozy jet?????
-
Cant help you there! Mine has a Drake pump!
-
pass on it and buy a race boat ;)
-
well as soon as they start racing day cruisers, im in!!!
-
I am with ya on that one! On occasion when a little 18ft jet roars by I wish but whne I see him bailin water cause a big cruiser got too close I am glad that I have a bigger boat! I hope to finish building my avenger when I can afford to have two but I am stuck on the daycruiser!

They make bildge pumps for that, even automatic ones that don't require you to do jack sh!t. ;D

my first boat was a 19' omega mini day cruiser with jacuzzi jet and 455 olds, other than the 455 olds i never had a problems with the hull or the jet, hull seemed pretty stout, and i did beat on that boat pretty bad, just could not get a reliable 455, sold it to my best friend, he ran it for a year then sold it to another buddy, as far as i know its still around a doing good, finally got a good motor in it.
-
now the only problem is just cash.....
-
WOOOOHOOO I GET TO GO GET MY NEW BOAT TODAY!!!!!! i cant wait i will up date pics tonight hopefully if its not dark when i get home!!!!
-
congrats, obviously you sold yours?
-
Paint that sucker again and redo the interior and you have a killer party boat to load all your friends and its still a jet boat. I am selling my COLE because i need a bigger boat to fit more people.

Sorry Chromey ! I forgot the usefull info . Look at the bottom ans see how straight it is . If there is a big dip in the bottom , it will be a little harder to get on plane (I think) . Look at the intake , make sure the from and back of the intake is flush with the bottom also . I think it looks killer and even though you already paid for it . This is still stuff you should look at . In a cruiser you probably wont ever notice how much it is hindering you but any of this in severity should be fixed . Looks like a bad ass cruiser .

Thats boat is perfect! Where else can you find a boat that clean that size for that $$? That boat in Tucson I've talked about is an Omega with a jacuzzi...You'll love that boat! Cool mid-cabin!
