Thanks Jim, the boat is bitchin but i have other obligations right now :D
I bet that boat looks real good behind your truck !!! And those mud flaps protect it well !!! I need a set just like those or maybe even wider for mine. Where did you get them ???
Thanks
Jim

[BigDoug]

Jim, here is the story on those flaps, i got them from Autowerks in Havasu but the somebitch went out of business, i went to go visit him and the owners of the building where there and they locked him out with his stuff in there, he probably didn't pay his rent i guess.. :notam:

[Squirtin Thunder]

Nice !!!

[396_WAYS_TO_SPIT]

Very nice looking boat. I know you will miss it. I just sold one of my boats and I already miss it. It wasnt as nice as yours but it had alot of sentimental value because it was the first boat I rigged. Oh and by the way I see that you kick it with the law enforcement :D Did you offer him a beer??;)
396

[BigDoug]

396, a jetski hit another boat in the driver side corner transom and they came into lazy harry's pretty quick so they woudn't sink, that's why Mr. Patrol was there, however i don't drink, so i would have to offer him a soda :D anyways.

[dregsz]

I'd be interested.
Just sold my Z28 and have some casssh...
but it's a long way from Portland, OR....=(
How fast is that boat?

[BigDoug]

Dregz, to be quite honest the motor is still breaking in (new) and iv'e never gps'd it because i simply don't care, to me it's fast enough, iv'e already been in a boat accident so i simply don't push it anymore if you know what i mean !
It moves out just fine, i like to cruise it with the occasional short blast plus i like the attention it gets while cruising (the wow factor) it's flat out one of the nicest looking water rods on a lake or river, i'll send you a pm with my phone #. :)

Wow that sounds cool !!!

[n8dawg]

You know I've seen your boat forsale some time now. Have you had any bites?? What were you asking 9 grand? How about I give you 6 and I put it in the garage next to my other Miller?! :D

[n8dawg]

you know being that it is summertime and all I think you atta hang on to it for at least a little while longer.
You should have someone gps that for you if your not going to. I'll do it! :idea: I think most people want a good looking boat that hauls the mail...post up that speed please.

[BigDoug]

Wow, this is too funny that you know William, if you get a chance tell him it's for sale ! i love this boat so im not seriously trying to push it through the mags and stuff but my wife thinks i am :notam: so far iv'e run side by sise with a buddy's boat who runs 60 mph and i pull away from him. :cool:

[BigDoug]

William, buy this boat back!!.. just kidding cause i like too much :D

[SoCalKev]

William, buy this boat back!!.. just kidding cause i like too much :D
I know a guy that likes this boat..... would you like to sell it for six grand cash?? PM me!

[BigDoug]

SoCalKev, with no disrespect to you but i could've sold it along time ago for $6000 that's what is in the motor and pump only.
Do you remember when we talked about trading both my boats and some cash for that ultra you have at your shop ? nobody got back to me so i presumed you guys weren't interested ?
Would you sell this boat for $6000 if you had it ?
Thanks, Doug.

woah, I never saw your post to the thread,..... We woulda concidered it for sure!
I know your boat is worth the money, Doug. I just was offering HIS offer, I could pay you twelve K If we could re-sale it here. I Concidered it myself.
I think you might be interested in our 95 Kachina Jet boat we have....
www.theboathunters.com
Its negotiable for ***boat members so take off 2K if you mention ***boat.
As for that ultra, it was gone in a few days after hundreds of calls.
We might be getting a 96 Ultra 18' open bow jet. for around 16K if you wanted something along the lines of the ultra. I love ultra boats!

[bulldawg art]

Doug,
Nice boat you have there. I am looking to pick one up, but your a bit father away than I care to drive at the moment. Anyone have an idea on how much it would cost to have something like that transported up to the San Francisco bay area?

Doug/Jim,

Art here you go; jrpm@npgcable.com
The test was nice and Dougs boat runs very good speedo in chase boat said 65mph, very respectable. The paint is totally awsome. Engine runs real strong.
Jim

[BigDoug]

Art, we had an awesome time and i met a few new peeps to boot, im telling you Art this boat is an attention getter, people swear it looks like a 100 mph boat but falls just short of it lol :eek: 65 mph going up river (1) 290 pound guy (me) 175 pound guy (Jim) a full cooler, tool box and full tanks plus the motor is still tight, it was a total blast. I did however notice i have 3 rooster tails lol, the big one out back and 2 shooting straight up from the pump, kinda like a jetski has, after careful inspection by Jim (he was the only one brave enough to go back there while under power) he noticed where they were coming from, it's a pin that needs a bushing of some sort, Jim can explain in greater detail (inexpensive) all in all it was fun.
We even got pulled over from the water cops asking if we had our mufflers in ? "yes sir" and then proceeded to ask if we had coast guard stuff ? "yes sir, "would you like to see them ?" "nah, your ok" he said "you sounded loud in the no wake zone" he was cool though.
I will completely miss this boat that's for sure.. :mad:

[Squirtin Thunder]

Art,
I will work on costs and time in the middle of the week !!!
Jim

[BigDoug]

Art, call me at home 928-692-7012.................Doug
