You were on a serious roll yesterday.
A broken watch is right twice a day. ;)
My stomach hurts from laughing so hard yesterday. Some funny stuff going on around here. Internet enemies, armies, and oil leaking POS jetboats, all in the biggest backfire thread in ***boat history. And now it's all gone. Boo. :notam:

I'm still looking for the thread posted by the boat buyer who spent a fortune on a boat manufactured by a (and is going to court against the) company located in Arizona.
Another winter of discontent :D on the Sandbar.

Fortunately, the best part of the thread was saved for future reference. As JBB would say.... BANG!!!! This is where things got rather amusing:
Yes, i was the one that came to look at boat and planned to buy it. After several phone conversations and e-mails, Karl said a deposit was not necessary. We talked about the condition of the hull, pump and engine, etc. He sent pictures and informed me pump was ok, floor just replaced a year prior, and interior was in good shape. I show up to check the boat out and boat had a crack in the cap where the only thing holding piece on was rub rail. Hull condition was okay for 30 year old boat with exception of the crack. Interior was junk, sun rotted, brittle and hard. Climbed underneath to check condition of pump and found one skag broke off intake, intake knocked loose off of hull and oil leaking from bilge around intake. Looked inside intake and discovered pieces of leading edge of the impeller missing. Decided WTH and took boat out on water anyways to see how it would perform. Launched boat, engine started without a hitch. Noticed growling noise coming from pump. Not the usual h-bar rattle, but a growling noise telling of bad thrust bearing. Took boat out past no wake zone, hit the throttle and engine fell on its face. proceeded to get boat on plain, which was not very easy due to bad pump. rode down the lake and noticed whole dash was moving, which indicates to me the floor is broke loose and not solid. put boat back on trailer as Karl had appt to get to, agreed to talk again later. I decided I was not going to purchase what I viewed as unsafe boat for my family or any one elses for that matter. Karl informed me this boat was turn key. I realize that one persons view of turn key is different from another, but with all these little things wrong with boat, how can it truly be turn key when there is a fear of making it back to to the launch ramp after a day of boating. I was led to believe pump was ok, floor solid, interior and hull in better condition than they were. Maybe if owner had been more forth coming about boats condition then it would not have come to this. I understand that for the price I'm not going to get a perfect boat, nor am i Looking for perfect boat. But I view this boat as a project, not turn key and not worth more than $2000.
Southwind was closed in 1982 and the mold you are referring to, the 20 (made for Southwind but never purchased by Southwind) is the only Southwind mold that Dana owns. The deck was redesigned by the original toolmaker (Smiley's Fiberglass). Dana does not own ANY original Southwind molds. Nor did I say they did. Go talk with Rhett to get your facts straight, better yet go talk to Smiley at Smiley's Fiberglass. This is not a slam on Dana boats, just facts to straighten out info on our previous conversation.

Not quite that easy. Perhaps some thought will be given before another thread is started calling someone out. ;)

Sweet, those 15 year old original Ford gaskets must be collector items by now. Just because the key turns doesn't make something "turn key".

Perhaps that was somewhere around the time where my boat came into the picture and he got smacked around some more. Maybe that's why I missed it. Oh well, at any rate, it's still one of the alltime classic backfire threads and it couldn't have happened to a more deserving person, and according to the pm's I've gotten, I'm not the only one who feels that way. :D :D :D
