Damn... :eek: Thats a hell of a deal.
I hope everything works out for you. I am rebuilding my 79 right now.
Honestly, I am fighting the urge to buy yours, swap motors and be on the water sooner than later.
If he gets me more pics...it might be sold ;) How awesome would that be to have 2 of these at the dock :beer
You know its an 18 right?

That would be sweet. I couldn't tell it's an 18. Maybe it's wishfull thinking that the pic was taken at an angle.
If its a 20, I'll wrestle you for it! :D
LOL...its definitely an 18. Can tell by the lines and the stubby bow. plus only the 18s qand 19s came with that engine cover.

I dont have any other details on it except what he posted here. I know some of the most fun I have ever had were the times I spent in my Orange one. not many people like the 18s I have a soft spot for them for some odd reason.

WOW!!! I didn't think I would get this type of response for it. Maybe I asked too low of a price :skull:skull Anyways, I will have more pics by tomorrow night. I boated last year with squirtinmyload, Team Lucky Strike, *****, The MIAD's out at Pleasant. It was out in the Bay Area the year before out at Discovery Bay. It's been a cool 2 years with it and I hate to get rid of it but shit happens. I had all of the specs on the motor saved on hotboat but I can't access any of it. I will try to get as much info as I can by tomorrow night.

They did make a couple 18' V-drives. I would love to get my hand on one of those.

Seems like a really good deal. I happen to have a couple G's right now and I thought about buying it and I don't even like jetboats.. :D
Of course if I did buy it, I'd have to make it 2 mph faster then Bills.. :D

Rob, Just found out about you selling the boat. :( I don't always check the spam section. I know this had to be tough for you.
Lets get you out on the water soon in one of our boats.
It may not help much but TAF and his kids will take great care of your boat and use it often. Congratulations TAF family. :D
Remember though times don't last last. Tough people do.:thumbsup

Congrats again TAF I know you will enjoy it
Thanks guys. I'll probably take the kids out in it this weekend to Cyn. Lake. I heard they really made some nice changes to the back sandbar beach area:hmm I told Rob that he'll have to keep in touch so that he can still boat with us this summer when he gets the chance. :D

I could never complain with 62mph @4600 WOT :skull
And it will be nice not to pull into the secondaries when you are pulling a skier or tuber:beer:D;)
DOn't forget about the riser gaskets.......
