Title: SURPRISE!
Post by: hotrod56cars on August 08, 2007, 01:41:33 AM
Here's a surprise... I bought yet another boat. It's a 1978 Pioneer 19' Tunnel Hull jet boat. Needs some work (SURPRISE). This is what it looked like about two years ago.

The white needs a re-paint for sure. The red is OK for a driver. The seats need new upholstory. Stringers and transom are good. All wood is good. New carpet. A very blown up full roller 468 Chevrolet came with the deal. Berkeley pump, shoe, ride plate, droop, newer hydraulic dirverter, 2001 single axle trailer, lots of cool "goodies" in the deal (I really like the crank driven altenator set-up). Can't really think very well right now, very very sleepy and tired but a little excited still.

Now WTF am I going to do? Keep the Rogers? Keep the Pioneer? Sell both of them and buy a v-drive? I have no clue. What I do know is that this purchase put's my next mortgage payment in a serious bind and I am going to have to figure something out quick!   ;D

Same boat.  ;D  Here's a hillarious (to me) thread.

LMFAO  Somebody needs to get some glasses and it isn't me!

I'm positive I can get over $1,500 just for the pump and there's a lot more to the deal than the pump.

LMFAO
I'm probably going to try and sell the "spare" trailers and the dirt bike which hasn't gotten used in the last year and a half. Anything else I can find that I don't need... probably...

We must think alike!  ;D

Dont sell a thing. Start stripping or something to earn extra money.  ::). Maybe drag race other boats for money.

I realize that you are LYFAO  ;D  but that isn't the first or second time I've gotten that solution... Got a family over here and I can't substantiate two 2 seater jet boats and not one boat that the entire family can enjoy.  ;)
