[565edge]

jawdrop Very nice!That is a bad ass battery tray.

[Cs19]

looks good. how did you like that pop-off? i have the same one.

[Johnwithjm]

Fryjet nice looking ride. I have a Crusader tunnel myself. Is that a wilder valve you have on that thing? What kinda speed are you getting out of the boat?

[FryJet]

Thanks, but its not mine. It belongs to smacktalker, maybe he could chime in here if he wants to sell it. Petrovich is rigging it by the way.

[Smacktalker]

I am not sure how fast it runs. It hasn't even been in the water yet! Hopefully soon!
Otherwise it can go to a new home!

[Smacktalker]

Willing to sell the boat minus motor or even pump. Very motivated to sell!!

[victorfb]

pretty sweet ride. but so far i havnt seen a price. whats he askin?

[Bense468]

well how much are you asking less motor and pump?

[Tee]

Ive got one of those for sale also, less motor but with pump. But not in near that good of shape. frown

[Smacktalker]

I am asking $12,500.00 for complete, $8500.00 less motor and $6000.00 less motor and pump.

[Bense468]

Whats the deal with the transom adapter. Is it just not on in the photo or am I missing something.

[Smacktalker]

There is no transom adapter, it has aluminum plates instead, that are custom fit to the pump and boat.

[Smacktalker]

If anybody is interested, they can email me at jhockin@sonicdryclean.com. I am very motivated to sell the boat, with or without motor and pump.

[Bense468]

well yeah I knew about the custom adapters you use when you do a setback. I just didn't see them in the photo. I was not sure if you had them built yet.

[Smacktalker]

They are built, they just haven't been installed yet. Have not decided whether or not to polish them or make them satin.

[Cs19]

I powdercoated my transom plates white. It gives it a nice professional look if you have a white pump and transom, which you do. Im not a big fan of powdercoating, but its the only part powdercoated on my boat so its okay. :D Cool boat you have there!

[Smacktalker]

Thanks, that's a good idea. Your plates and pump look very clean!

[Cs19]

thanks!

[Smacktalker]

Come on don't any of you guys want to go fast? Well here's a race boat any way you want it!!! How do you want it!!

[Hotcrusader76]

What I wouldn't do for another Crusader boat....and a nice one at that...Where is my check book darn it :rolleyes:

[Smacktalker]

Hot Crusader, Make an offer it you want!!

http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/520/409DCP00712-med.JPG cs19, what size is your water line, hose ends, and adapter fittings coming off your pump in that picture? Sweet pump!

[Smacktalker]

Looks like -8!

[Cs19]

No, its actually a number 10 line,im going to run a number 10 off the pump to a regulator then continuing a number 10 line to the T in front of the motor ... wink

[Smacktalker]

Isn't that a little large?

[Cs19]

Well according to jack @ mpd thats the way to set it up for my application with a regulator and no thermostat. I trust him as he continues to build record setting boats. wink The pump can build up to 200-300 + psi with high performance motors,thats why we run the fat line into the regulator, in the long run we are trying to keep the water pressure in the block down.

[Bense468]

Run a fat water dump also.

[Smacktalker]

Or run 2 water dumps (-10)

[Bense468]

Smack any luck yet on that tunnel. That is a pretty nice boat. Is the purple or pink paint or is it all gell? I would pick this boat up if mine was gone. I still have mine though and have had flaky people so far. Once I sell my boat I will be looking for either a Daytona 19, a PC, or a CP. I will be happy with any of the above as long as they are clean and have potential to be set up with nice hardware and run a solid number. Your boat is a little on the light side for me but I probably would pick it up. The stringers are a little thin.

I have had one real fair offer, the potential buyer is getting things in order for a purchase hopefully next week. I will let you know if the sale doesn't go through! Good luck with selling your boat.

[Smacktalker]

Bense 468, What kind of boat do you have?

[ROZ]

Smacktalker, What part of San Marcos are you from?

[Smacktalker]

Closer to vista!

[Bense468]

Smack sorry I was at the river all weekend. I just walked in the door. Here is my boat, Motor is pulled out and its for sale.

[Smacktalker]

Bense, nice looking boat, I like the colors!

[Bense468]

Thanks its still for sale. I have been letting it slip. I have been kind of busy with some other things. I will be putting it up in the trader real soon.

[Smacktalker]

Bense, How much again are you asking for you boat? I might have a friend interested!

[Bense468]

I sent you a PM

[Cole]

Someone should buy that boat it is very trick.......i should know I used to own it!!!!
You did a great job completing it!!
congrats smack!!!!
Cole
Ps; this is one of the fastest tunnel hulls but more importantly one of the safest!!!

[Smacktalker]

Cole, that for the kind message. I have yet to put it in the water.

[moneysucker]

Ps; this is one of the fastest tunnel hulls but more importantly one of the safest!!! I owned it too! From Seal beach to San Diego. Cole,How is your new boat? (almost 2 hours)Cookin' has the potential to be very fast. it is going to suck getting beat by a pink boat. JK

[moneysucker]

Smack talker, Thanks for the help with the boat situation this weekend. I got the early morning wake up calls also. Anyone who messes with someone elses boat needs to be drug out in the street and shot. That guy has a severe beating coming for hiding Robs boat. I know a few guys that feel the same way. What goes around comes around. But I will not mess with anyone elses things. I am going to try to get a picture of him. He is a jet skiier. He wants to be jetovatored any time anyone sees him. He likes it.

F.J.

[Petrofied]

I think we all got the early morning wake up call! Poor smacktalker, I think he almost had a heartattack when Mr.P told him that the boat was stolen. He thought it was cookin'! Geez, what a F'd up deal that was. :mad:

[Smacktalker]

I did have a heart attack. My wife had to revive me. It took me about 3 minutes to finally wake up and understand that it wasn't my boat. But Rob's what a relief. I agree that the stupid Mother F**ker should be drug out and shot!!! My only comment is, who un hitches their boat and doesn't put a lock on it!!! That's the person who should be drug out in the street and shot for being stupid!!! But that's my opinion!!!

[Petrofied]

Come on Smacktalker... play nice. It was his first boat and first time at the river. It was a hard lesson learned as I bet he doesn't leave it unlocked ever again. Just thank god that it was a VERY BAD joke and not really stolen.
I agree that the guy should be shot! (with water from Rob's divertor if nothing else). I think that I would prefer a baseball bat to the guys truck, but that's just me. Oh yeah... you'd go to jail. But the look on his face as you're beating the hell out of his truck would be worth it. Do I sound like a bitter, psycho bitch?? :D

[Bense468]

Well if cookin was stolen John you know who would have stole it. wink
I shouldn't say that, the heat may come down on me if it ever is really stolen.

[Smacktalker]

Thank god it wasn't stolen. That would have really sucked!! Jeff are you still going on your trip up north?

[Bense468]

Yes I am. I have to go for 8 days.

[Smacktalker]

Ms. Petrofied, thanks for the fax!
