Give it some time. The people you are looking to respond to your question aren't sitting at there computer refreshing the screen like there trying to snipe an Ebay auction. We all have family's outside of here that come first. Grab a beer and try some reading in the sandbar. :rollside:

I say go for it!!!! :D

i seen it on ebay and the bid is at 1525.00 and it says evreything except motor so i figure what it takes to put motor in to run is what i wpould have to do. not impatient just gotta go to bed soon.

[jet guy]

I have 68 tahiti 18' and I love it it will never be a 100 mph boat but I like the ride it sits kind of high in the water but low enough to still look cool it has a good amount of room in it and it is a lot of fun and I think I can live with 60 or 65 mph

The reason is a sickness alot of us have here on ***boat.... Called bored and like to build stuff as a hobby. Wantin to go faster with the next project. Call them stepping stones.
Im obviously not in it for the money and nothin wrong with the boat....it is better in person! youll have hard time findin cleaner and its not a trailer queen either.I do take it out! Just want to go a diff direction now. Nowing what I have learned now makes me want to build another.

just got back from weekend at lake and got to go to bed because these tourist need their milk in the morning anyways what kind of speed and horsepower does this gem deliver..also what about money??? asking price .. will probably get back to you tomorrow thanks for hanging in there with me just a busy person.. ok thanks againg

[kcsteck]

375-400 HP per chart for 5100 RPM turnin a AB impeller at 60 MPH per GPS 2 people .If I take the intake proloader off and put the stock rock grate back on 63 GPS 2 people 65 1 person. dont know why it slowed boat down.Told If I put A impeller in it which it had originally would be much better. Better holeshot, bring RPMs down and give me a couple more MPH. Wish I could try that!
Boat not made for Speed thats for sure as tahitis are not the lightest hull out there and not best bottom out there but this boat will run all day at 3000-4500 RPMs. She handles the choppy water great(cuts right thru it) tow tubes skiers etc like there is no tomooorw!Great boat for cruisin around, and lookin good while doin it.
Im askin 7K for boat.
Since i posted pics of boat with the possibility of for sale Im gettin alot of attention to it askin more and more questions.I guess its a good thing but im gettin nervous that if I sell it, will I be able to find somethin Comparable that I can build and look as good when done.
guess its the for sale jitters.
