Obviously Steve is super pissed at me about banning him here.. but I heard from a friend that reads all the BS that it has handling problems and he's super unhappy with it. That said I'll still take it Steve if you want to sell it. I'm a little lower then 49 though. I'm all about fixing handling problems. Seems to be a trend for all the boats my mom has owned so far.
I still think it's amazing that the guy can't even post here anymore and his game is so strong they still somehow manage to end up in the lounge.. He truly is the master.

They just haven't banned him from CL yet.

There is no reason too?
Steve sells shit.. It's a great resource to sell shit.

Ahh I remember when you used to say all that.
Wait until Craig starts getting calls at 5AM.
2FF = Steve = Hey LAM, right?

Yes..
And I'm sure this stupid thread will go 20 pages just because of that. LOL Some people live for this shit. I'm not one of them.
I am serious when I say I'll buy the boat though, but 49K.. Fuck that. I'll put a public offer of 40.. If the boats got handling problems and all the other shit he described it ain't worth 50K .
RD
That is a solid offer Dave at $40K. The 1 previous owner posted on GD if you want to refer back to the for sale listing. Steve tried to improve it like he always does but if it had true issues I am sure original owner would not have put that many trouble free hours on it over 18 years.
Dont forget it had yellowing on the deck. Sorry RD just had to add to the mayhem. LMAO.
I don't know the original guy.. I know Steve though, and I was told (didn't see personally) that he didn't like it.
Granted that ain't saying much.. but 40 seems about right to me, and I'll make a run at fixing whatever's wrong with it for that #.
If there's "whamo" plates on the transom I'm gonna deduct fiberglass work to fix that and call it 39,500.

Add that up. They're always the baddest mofo right before the for sale sign goes on.There's a whamo plate. But as far as I know he's got it handling much better. Ghost ride ready. He just posted he had a blast at mead over the weekend im surprised its for sale...sorta
How much would it cost to cut an open bow in it? $8k?

I like where your head is at!I always thought it would be cool to cut the open bow smaller than normal(you only need room for 4 people up there) so you still could have a full size bed in the mid cabin for overnighters.
Still do a sink and tv.
Throw a bow cover on it for trips to Powell.
Should I offer him a trade for my Howard straight up?? My boat is worth $35k-40k and he said he wants smaller. What issues does this 270 have??
I don't know why, but he doesn't like your motor
415hp 502 efi?
Yup... don't remember why but for some reason it came up and we talked about it
Low tension rings known for oil consumption. I bet is his reason.
That is his exact reason, even though tons of people have had hundreds of trouble free hours with them.

There was a story about your first trip out I think. I don't know though I have a pretty bad memory. But yea something with oil. Don't even remember why it came up but I'm going to hurt myself trying to remember 
Yeah, we were running hard up the gorge and almost ran it dry. Came off plane and heard knocking. Thought I hurt the motor, but as soon as we idled past the 40 bridge it stopped.
Boat ate 2 quarts at Pirates, another 2 at Topock and another 1 the next morning. Had the boat serviced after that and he did a leak down. Clean bill of health. Scared the shit out me for a second.
Now I carry extra oil with me and if we were running hard the trip before, I always add a quart the next time out and check my dip stick.

Hes definitely is in fine form over on another site.. Even told one guy he take an "almost" straight trade for a 210...who knows, he may consider a Schiada with a small block.
Either way, by observing his history with boats, he will never be happy and whatever he gets will be for sale soon...
Was just posting the Hallett for sale like I always do, and just happened to be his. I'm not on for BS and that wansnt my intention.
People that want an open bow mid cabin, buy an open bow mid cabin!!!!
Don't ruin a perfectly good closed deck!!!!
Yes Steve cut the cav plates off of the drives. Also running 2 inch spacers. Reason why he cut the cav plates.
Says it side rocks on the top end because of the drive plates "grabbing" ??Schiada is worth a lot more than this 270.
No worries man it's all good.
What does running two inch spacers have to do with the cav plate? Why the fuck would someone butcher up the drives?

I'm not even sure how you would unfuck that.
