CFM Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Read this from a performance boat site following it too: “No big travel lifts on that lake that's were I grew up. only deep water ramp. The Marina owner that used to pull it out for ever, couldn't be bothered with it this year. Not cool in my opinion. So the owner had to build his own trailer” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have ez gotten one if Niccums steel barges to bust the way . And bubbled the fucker all winter. They paid some one to sit there all night . I had a emergency service call at 2am drove by guy was sitting in a running suburban same one sitting there running at 930 am with a guy sitting in it .

Had a guy who was doing a lot of the high R houses we were building at the time completely fill the nose with foam because I was convinced I was going to sink the thing.

Gold Member Kivalo Posted December 17, 2021 Gold Member Share Posted December 17, 2021 So if I understand this story right. The local marina owner refused to haul the boat forcing the guy to bust ice and fabricate a trailer capable of hauling this boat? DonI have my facts right?

Christ I would think the issue with a boat that big, and that old, would be the cost benefit analysis to go through all that work, fabrication and expense to save a boat that isn't worth a whole lot in the first place.

Not so many on this lake but down on the river the big old pigs can be had for the cost of the storage bill or less all day . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local marina would not store it any more so it was sold I guess. One transport company wanted 60k to bring it to the river 45 min by car so the new owner decided to have a trailer modified to get it moved . Took this long to get trailer modified and drivers set up . I guess ? Still not sure where it us going after it gets to the marina it is at now . Lots of questions like if a guy who lives on the lake bought it why did you not just bring it home and bubble it in ? If you are not on the lake do you really want to pay 20k a yr or more to park that big pig and pay even more to have diesel delivered seeing as there are no oil pumps I know of on the lake . Just a extremely impractical boat that you can't even take to every bay on the chain . My guess is a guy got it for free thought he was getting a deal of a life time old owner had him sign a iorn clad bill of sale and went whoosh dodged a bullet on that one glad I never have to deal with that p.o.s . again 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member EvilBird Posted December 17, 2021 Gold Member Share Posted December 17, 2021 I love boats but something that size and that old is a friggen nightmare to own. Good luck to the Guy, he is gonna need it. I thought the video said something like the Guy who owns it now is from Texas? Wonder if he is attempting to ship it down there. The whole thing seems ridiculous and I use to haul big boats. If he didnt get it for free then it really makes zero sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was going to float it down the Mississippi but apparently shipping it to the river was too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
