Great seeing you two again on Sunday...

[BarryMac]

Looks like a great boat to me, it gets you on the water and you have fun right? Who cares what the rest of the haters have to say, enjoy it, the best times you'll ever have are on the water no matter how you get out there...

[spectras only]

Definitely three thumbs up comparing it to the 1973 24' Reinell I had in the early 70's :idea: :D , J/K . Very nice boat , put a procharger on it ;) .

[drtywhat]

Ohhh there is no hating, I posted this to be funny. I know she aint that hot. When this one gets old she'll be traded in for a Howard 28 bullet with a 600 SCI:D

[boatsnblondes]

I like it a lot.....where did you get it?? can you pm me a phone number?? After I sell my hallett, something like that might be nicer...and what is the "bubble" at the stern?? Exhaust??

[drtywhat]

It will run 58MPH what can I do to a volvo 5.7 350 fuel injected to get it to run faster? new headers?

[RitcheyRch]

Ditto that.
As long as you're happy who cares what we think....

[WYRD]

I give ya a 10
1. it runs
2. it floats
3. it carries an ice chest (not a sea do)
3. it gets you on the water
4. its fun for the family
5. it looks good
6. its in safe looking condition

as long as you like it run it:D

[drtywhat]

The bubble at the stern is the Corsa exhaust. There is a switch on my dash that dumps the exhaust out the side VS the prop

[acatitude]

I give your future boat a 9 and you current boat a 2. This is of course on a 1-10 scale. 10 being hot, 1 being not hot at all.:D

Number 1&2 and 8&9 are the same.....so actually it's and eight:devil:

[RiverToysJas]

I think you have a great family boat.
IMP&HO (and this debate has raged here many times here over the years, I don't care, my opinion is just that!) - To be a "Hot Boat" it MUST - have no more than 2 seats (possibly small, pretty much unusable backseats), and MUCH more power than any sane person would need. It should have a Prop too, not an impeller - but that's not a must. ;) The rest are just "Performance Boats", "Family Performance Boats", "Family Boats", "Ski Boats", or simply "Boats". ;) :D :D
SO like I said......You have a very nice Family Boat.
RTJas :D

[WYRD]

NO!:D
Your Boat:
77 cole t-deck,78 challenger
Some would say that these are NOT hot boats either:D

[DansBlown73Nordic]

I bet you will have it paid for much sooner then alot of these guys.;)
If it runs and goes I will give it a 11.:D

[dmontzsta]

I rate it 2. I bet it would beat a bayliner. :)

[KeepsTheBeerAfloat]

Not too shabby. I'm avoiding a new boat payment, so I certainly can't flame any of you with these amazing boats. I'll stick with the Old and Sparkly (which was the old man's when I was about 9 but has gone through a moderate resto by me in the last couple years) and the red Mr Ed's that I just got. One for local, and one that gets stored at my buddy's house in LV. That way, pop in any given weekend, grab the boat and off to Laughlin!!
Plus the wife thinks I'm going to Vegas...she'd rather have me there than at the river with my buddies!!
My blue Old & Sparkly here is a '74 Kona, don't laugh, I've got a Louie Unser Rattlesnake 160 Chevy(Iron Duke) that will hit nearly 50...all that on 4 cylinders...LOL.
The '76 Mr Ed's (not pictured) has the 460 with the Berkeley and will hit 68 on the GPS with no mods, no headers...nuttin' but a Holley 750 and a bunch of gas.
Either one "keepsthebeerafloat" and gets me outta the house, either with or without the family...so before you go and feed yourself to the lion's den...What do you rate your boat??
I give the Old and Sparkly a 13 for the amount of girls my buddy and I ended up partying with on the last trip out to the river with it(yes, I can document it!LOL). The Mr Ed's gets an 8, 'cuz that's the time I will be waking up to get out to the Sandbar before you guys with those 28 footers get out there and ruin my water...

As long as you're not riding a Sea Doo and posting here...your boat's good with me!:eat:
Oh, and sprinter...I just got some stickers made for both my boats in the Eliminator fonts...
ELIMINATED BOATS.
Figure if everybody else can brag about their Essex, Lavey and what not, I'll advertise too...LOL

[GHT]

do i get credit for the "smoked glass":eek:
NO the smoked glass is a DEDUCT because it is unsafe due to the lack of visibility.:D

Did he say he smokes grass??? :eek:

[wright27]

I think your boat is groovy and should get a 10 on the FF scale.

[KeepsTheBeerAfloat]

I think your boat is groovy and should get a 10 on the FF scale.
Dude, getting groovy as a rating is way more than a 10!!
You get a "spiffy" or "tits" rating, and you're off the scale...thas what I'm talkin' 'bout!!
Oh yeah, and smoked glass vs. smoked grass...? I've got a leaf glassed into the floor of my Mr Ed's that I found when I was replacing the carpet...how's that for groovy!!???

[GHT]

What pitch is the prop? :idea: Also, I'm partial to spots on a boat.:D

[hoolign]

Did he say he smokes grass??? :eek:
What's that?
Nice boat!

[KeepsTheBeerAfloat]

What pitch is the prop? :idea: Also, I'm partial to spots on a boat.:D
Whose spots you talkin' bout? If it's my boat, those are "age spots" and they've been earned. Kinda looks distinguished!!

[GHT]

Dalmatian spots:D :D

[SHOTKALLIN]

It's very dated with checkers. Ditch the checkers and airbrush some hobbits or aliens....j/k
If you love your boat then its a 10:D

[Dan Lorenze]

I think your boat is real nice! Looks like a great do-all boat with plenty of room for the family. I'll bet you get good gas mileage too... I would rate it a solid 7...

Oooopppssss

[magic29]

Nice boat
but a hot boat has girls in the photo

[76ANTHONY]

i give ya a 8.5, if it didnt have checkers id a gave ya a 9.5:D :D

[Pheelin Phroggy]

nice looking boat, if it starts at the when you launch and it is still running when you trailer it.... it's at least a 7, but I believe anything over 20' has to be pushing at least 425hp to be considered mildly "Hot" if not I propose a new man law on it!! see ya on the water!

[drtywhat]

thank you all for the compliments so far... I would do her after about 8 beers.. so she is hot but not that hot

[rrrr]

I rate it 2. I bet it would beat a bayliner. :)
Hey Don, at least it has an engine in it.
MWAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! :D :D

[Inked]

Crazeee for asking a loaded question in here like that, but cool boat amigo. everyones got different tastes so who is to say what is cool and what is not cool..... enjoy the summer......

[OCMerrill]

That right there is funny.
If your ice chest holds cold beer...your in.
A ***boat is like a street rod. You know...float on the hook all day and wait for that 6:00 pm scream down the river. Sometimes you can get a wake up call from a ***boat but only on Saturday morning. Sunday morning ***boat drivers have a severe hangover headache even thier own boat can't cure:D
And, I used to have a Reinell. 185F, Put over 700 hours on that boat in a little over 5 years. Good boats.

[I DIG IT !]

I like it. My last boat was the same thing. It was a 1995 renill with a 365 454 and a brovo 1. I had soooo much fun on that boat. Yours is way niceer than my was but there pritty good boats. You and your family will have ton of fun on her. Just remember footage has alot to do with the ride of the boat. You made a 5 foot jump. Right on dude!!! enjoy your new toy on the water:) :) :) :)

[Wheeler]

I give your boat, a 9 and your neighborhood, a 10!
Both are real nice!

[Debbolas]

We had a little 19 foot Sea Ray that I just LOVED....It was so easy to drive:D The big waves "ate it up" but I could do anything with that boat:D
Don't get me wrong, I love our boat we have now...it's just so big and I need to get use to driving it:idea:
Your boat is cool :D(hot)

[Brian]

As long as you're happy who cares what we think.....
I don't care what you think! My Magic is a HOT boat no matter what you say! It is it is it is it is!!! :D

[drtywhat]

after talking with Kal kustoms, they said that this boats bottom is a modified 25 foot rage (nordic),, I had no clue. They also said its rated for up to 425 horsepower. What would a 496 HO cost me? Will the volvo SX drive hold up to that power? It does like 57-58 MPH now with a 320 horse

[busterbox]

Hot Boat? No! But its a "killer" family boat...... Hey man! Where's the stainless prop? Your killin' me ova here.

[Brian]

i noticed how ***boat it was as you BLEW MY FOCKING DOORS OFF AT POWELL,:D with you kids waving at us:(
Come on Mark, ya just need to add a little "pressure" to the situation! :idea:
:D

Wish I had those Trailer Wheels...;)

[atomickitn]

hey the bank only owns half of mine , the other half is paid for ........woooooowho:)

Don't bother spending dough on that stuff.....get a nice stereo and have fun with your friends. Chasing MPH in a boat like yours is a waste of money unless you have lots of it and need to get rid of it quick.
When we bought a new boat two years ago I passed on the 496 Mag HO for that reason. It's $5K more than the 496 Mag, 75 HP, and 3 MPH faster. Kinda dumb to spend that money.
If you wanna go fast, go find a cheap v-drive for sale. You can spend $6500 on your boat to go 6 MPH faster or you can buy a decent v-drive with that money and go 90 MPH. That's what we did.
Besides, everyone should have more than one boat. :D :D

[WYRD]

the bank doesnt own any of mine :D
