First off what are they worth. Just the hull. Is it a good boat or a fast hull? Does anyone have any pictures of any?

They are priceless but I have one for you today only for $30,000 Blown injected complete.
That is what I run and they are great boats. It really depends on what your plan it for it. If you want a family cruiser, Not the boat you want. They ride poorly at low speeds, the nose raises up and slaps the water as the hull will pack air and let it out because you are going too slow to get it on plane good. Bare hull with nothing I would say around $1500.00 usually with a trailer. That price has a lot of variables too, depending on bottom work, if the suction piece is in, condition of the hull. With a good gell job on it, the price goes up from there. Put up some pix and we can tell you what you should expect to pay, or more what we would pay for it.Considering what a new hull is going for, these clasic dragsters are the way to go.
huh :idea:

Well like Money sucker said, What are you going to use it for?Its not a family boat.Are they fast? depends on what you mean by fast.Are they a good hull? Yes, they are good and very safe too.There are alot of them coming out of the woodwork of late.They have there own style and nothing else comes close to them, well except for a Placecraft, but thats because its one in the same basicly.If you want to run the river and have decent power it will move out good.But its all in the set up.Email me i can send you alot more pics than what is on our site.We just dont update it very much.
If you are looking to buy one that is for sale, post up a pic and we can give you a better idea of what kind of money its worth.

not to highjack your thread but can one of you swtd owners tell me how far the tunnel plates stick out of the boat . Im getting ready to make plates I figured you experts would now off the top of your heads.
they are 14" total length, front to back, 8" of the plate exposed outside the tunnel, 6" under the boat. the top of the tunnel is recessed 3/16 so the plate sits flush. 'course, the plate should be the same width as the tunnel.
hope this helps.

Well, I purchased one yesterday. Now all I bought was a boat dolly and it just so happened to come with a boat sitting on it. I don't pick it up until friday. The deck looks to be in good shape, same as the bulkhead. The only problem with the bottom, which isn't a problem for me to fix, is a hole in the bottom, about a 2" hole. No other holes were in it and I've seen and fixed much worse. I don't really want or need another boat but I don't really have a choice on this one. Gel is all original blue and very oxodized. It doesn't even come with a pink- and the only reason I know it is a southwind is because of the original gel with the southwind logo on the side.
Any comments? :mix:

Let us know , we are on the way to pick it up if you dont want it.
Just one question, is it all one color blue or is it 3 different blues? Give me a call and we will arrange the pick up.
Thanks, Tim

I guess that is in the southwind brothers territory so it would be theirs. I don't think I was the one being called out. I believe the tug boat in question is futs' daycruiser. My boat is not ready for the track yet.

There are no boats in the front, they are all put away in the rear storage at CLM.Code enforcement comes by and has a few beers with us all the time , so we have that part covered.Its when the parking lot gets filled and spills onto the street that everyone gets their panties in a wad!!! :D

Bought the puller myself just did not have it with me when I was there. Just sucks that someone would bend you over for something like that. Not the way to get word of mouth business especially in BHC AZ. you better make all the friends you can or you'll end up as head weed keeper at the local golf course. As far as your offer goes Ive got a flux capacitor you can borrow for your time machine. I won't even charge you got some rotten banana's out of the dumpster for you to put in MR Fusion!!!! :crossx:

Maybe if you want a rise you should let me drive your boat!! I know that will give you a rise!!!! Hell it might even give me one. Its not that hard to point the wheel and hammer the throttle is it? I would'nt know. I have never been over 65 on the water and have only been driving boats for a few weeks and it seems real easy don't it!!!!
