I lost count on how many boats you have owned like 5 boats ago :D

[Big Proppa]

I have had my eye on that boat for the past month or so, I am actually in the process of saving some $$$ for it if I get the $$ money together before you sell it , it will be mine.....

[Squirtcha?]

I'm almost speechless. When it comes to this board, that old SWTD is like a case of the crabs. Hard to get rid of.
:rolleyes:

[Big Proppa]

Crabs - wow now that brings back memories j/k no really j/k

[Jake W2]

To bad your not closer.Other than the huge trailer it sounds and looks like a really good start.
Big P how many of thoes hulls have you owned I can think of
1 a black one
2 a red one
3 the brown one

Jake

[MudPumper]

Bill, You and Mouzer crack me up. :D

[78Southwind]

I don’t get it has this boat ever left that side yard? I think I have counted at least 5 board members that have owned it from one time to another. I think it would look good on my side yard oops never mind. :hammerhea

[moneysucker]

I know I had it once. Geez, that thing is like a case of the herpes, it goes away for a while and then comes back again.

[Big Proppa]

It's all your fault moneysucker - I really wasn't going to buy a SWTD until I saw yours all done up - Thanks Dude now I'm broke again - :cool:

[comin' unscrewed]

[moneysucker]

How'd you run this weekend money?
I ran slow. Really slow. Chasing ghosts in the fuel system. Had it flowed yesterday to at Gorr fuel systems and worked out the BUGS and got everything dialed. Anyone ever needs injection done these guys are great. I am getting ready for phoenix now.

[gregr1971]

[jack me hoffer]

SO when is the big secret gana come out??????
i guess everyone is finding out the bottom is blown out hu??? this boat needs to be cut up and destroyed its not worth fixing . if it is fixed i hope you have a death wish..... opps sorry i didnt mean to spill the beans on it..... :crossx: :crossx:

[Big Proppa]

Are you looking to start some shit or are you board, The last place this hull was, was TPR - I'm sure if something was wrong with this boat structurally I would know about it - The last guy that owned it thru over 2 grand in glass work into her -Get your ****in facts straight BRO -
Yes Gregr - it's still available.

[mexrunner]

seen this boat in person and have looked over it. it will make a great boat for someone who is willing to paint or gelcoat it and spend the time putting it back together and no the bottom is not blown out on it.

well ok why dont you call Tom and ask him about it he knows about it and so does the guy that got it from the other guy and then traded it back for the blue one...and the 2 g's that were spent on the glass work was way to much the parkey floor isnt saveable and it looks like shit now.... why dont you look underneath and look for the resin drips that came through the cracks when they did the shitty glasswork on the stringers.... ya i got my ****ing facts straight.........................

[Big Proppa]

Wow 3 posts and you know the complete history - makes ya wonder who you really are doesn't it.

[jack me hoffer]

[Big Proppa]

Call me up - (951) 712-3290

[Nucking futs]

I have seen this boat and looked it over as well,its a good project boat and the bottom is not "blown out" it just needs to be looked at in a few areas. It has alot of new glass work and is still kinda in the build up stage.Would be a great project boat for someone who likes these boats.
Tim

[Big Proppa]

Thanks Nuckin - I would never sell anything that I thought could hurt someone - let only buy anything that would hurt me or my family - Does it need more work - yes - and it is priced as such

[TRG]

I was down at Papps shop when this boat was there also, from what i know of its history is,...there was some sort of delam to the stringers and it has since been repaired (new stringers), the pod has also been shortened (maybe for a pop off, dont really know) also heard that the assend had issues too!
i crawled around this hull for at least 1/2-3/4 of an hour, the hull is fine!
all i know is that if i were into southwind hulls i would have grabbed this boat up from billy, mouzer or whoever has had it in their posession, but i cant really stand the look of the SWTD (no shot at the brothers, just my opinion)
Jack, i really think you could have went about this another way, than to bash someone's credability on the sale of boats, as you may very well know, things on these here boards can get pretty grey as to the understanding of the way deals go down and how they get blown way out of proportion, all i know is what ive seen @ Tom Papp's shop,...now im not saying its in the type of shape to where all you need to do is just add some gel to the program, the hull still needs some work, after all it is clearly stated its a project boat!
thats about all im gonna say about the hull except that the inside of the boat, (glasswork) turned out really nice!

[Big Proppa]

Spill the beans homes - .

[TRG]

Im sure he's man enough to come out da closet? im sure if i was in his shoes (making the accusations he has) i wouls have no problem explaining myself.

[Nucking futs]

You know, If I did'nt have 2 allready, I would snatch this thing up myself.
You guys (mostly Mouser) are killing the SWTD market :cry: (not that its a large market) but some people like em. Did'nt this hull start the tunnel boat craze anyways.
How the hell am I going to get any $$$ for the ones i have if you keep low balling the hell out of these hulls. Im trying to make a quick buck so I can step up and get into a TPR Damn it !!!!!!! :argue:

[PipesClean]

Futs - I'll sell ya the T-Deck complete for $4,900, you can fix it and sell it for a hell of a lot more!

[Big Proppa]

[Nucking futs]

Who bought it? Local? maybe the next time we see it it will be complete and on the water.
Pipes, I could'nt afford another one..sorry

[Big Proppa]

Just as a parting gift - here are a few pictures of the Blown Out, Dangerous, disgrace of a southwind tunnel dragster that I sold - But of course only after jacking up the boat and letting him have complete access to all areas of the bottom -

What a pile:D Bill call me at home 818-353-7441

[moneysucker]

You know, if it wasn't for God Damned Petrofied, that boat there would still be parked under a tree in Lakeside. Now one of the former owners of this boat owns Petrofied. Congrats on the sale. Was the buyer from the boards or Dragboats.com?

[TRG]

GOD! that boat is U.G.L.Y. you aint got no aliby, you ugly! :D

[moneysucker]

Please thank who ever bought that boat for me. I really don't need another F-ing project.

[moneysucker]

Mouzer, is there some kind of free clinic you can go to to get that SWDT disease cleared up?

[Big Proppa]

I still have it

[moneysucker]

What kills me is that this is a 1981 hull and they have a 1976 gell color scheme. Money$ucker is a 76 and they went solid and no glitter. ahead of their time there.

[CARLSON-JET]

When I read this thread in it's initial posts, I was happy for Mike (mouzer) that he had sold it. Mouzer had his eyes on a really nice V-drive and needed some cake to get it in his possesion. I bought this hull & trailer sight unseen, had it taken to TPR then sent tom a machined intake to be installed. (BTW it's not the intake shown in the current photos) During a few short conversations I learned I was putting the cart before the horse having the intake installed at that juncture. Some other work in a few opinions needed to be done as to make that peticular work easier. That (other) work started adding up $$$ very fast. The (other) work was not mentioned in the original description/spam post that has now been deleted. When Mike posted another SWTD for sale I felt it more within my budget and time frame to make it a runner again. CUT AND DRIED end of that chapter. When I saw that Proppa had purchased this SWTD, I figured he would know what work and how to get it done and it was now in his lap. As time goes by he posts it for sale on this thread then some unknown poster ( I have my own idea) comes along and BASHES the living SH!T out of Proppa with no vested interest what so ever in this hull & trailor. My initial view was anger, but then as the thread proggressed more I felt I was being targeted as the "Jack me hoffer" unknown poster which I AM NOT!! If I wanted to bash this hull I had all the time in previous posts to do so. My opinion of the deal is, your buying a really nice trailer on top of which sits an opportunity to own one of a few SWTD's that were produced. The Hull is worth finishing. JACKOFFER, If you have NO VESTED INTEREST in this deal, why bash?? Proppa, you should sink a few bucks into this deal as so everyone that has "invested" all share a common bond. Owning it, spending money and never seeing it finished. C'mon mang....keep up the momentum. I think all who have touched her, want too see her finished some day. R.B.

[moneysucker]

Ok, OK, I will come out and make it public, I officially own the most bad press, hand me down boat on the boards. It is in the process of having the trailer converted into a dolly trailer and the boat is in for some body work before getting painted. I am currently getting materials for the rail kit so I can have all the holes drilled in the rails before flow coating the floor. This boat may actually come together in my hands since I was one of the first ones in the Hot BOat forum owner chain. Soon Big Proppa will get his rims back too. lol. Stupid locks
