off road project

[Uncle Cracker]

my parts haven't showed up for the truggy, so i started a different project.
if you've been by my house, it looked like my big boat had a baby.

here is the baby. she's kinda rare

it's like the boats used in Ian Flemming's "live and let die" (007)
except those boats were outboards



good GM 2 liter motor, & pre-alpha drive.
removing the rotten keel, replacing it and adding 2 additional stringers.
the upholstery is toast but simple, and it needs the gel-coat rubbed out

[Beck*A*Poo]

how many boats do you need lol

[Uncle Cracker]

i can't afford to take the big sumbitch out. it only runs on premium or better fuel, holds 200 gallons, twin big blocks eat that shit up, and has to be towed by my big block suburban and
it's to big to take to any local lakes.
the baby boat has a 4 banger>> 20 gallons of regular will take me from lower parker az. to the dam and back without refueling, and it can be towed by a streetbike

THE BABY BOAT.... lol you should edit the big boat and have the baby coming out of the end lol jk

You should put together an IOR lake trip and have everybody donate for fuel in the boat/tow rig.

Then we can play how long can the drunk guy stay on a tube with another drunk guy driving!

Sent from the beach with a beer in hand!

The Catalina Channel is a HORRIBLE place to break down. I was on a small shallow-draft boat like yours that almost capsized in that channel when some of the electrical fried at the helm; he didn't even have a sea anchor to keep the bow into the swell. We had to cut the wires to the bilge pumps and wire them directly to a batteries. Vessel assist towed us into Long Beach and charged him almost $1000.

But we could cruise around long beach harbor and throw empty beer cans at Joshy while he works on the oil islands
