Sad day yesterday, said goodbye to my winger, she's been nothing but an awesome boat over the last few years. On to new adventures...

You might as well post in this thread and get it over with.

“Toys that I miss”.

Awesome boat. Looking forward to seeing what’s next. 👍🏻

I will forgive you this transgression...on one condition:
Whatever you build next must sound as good as that winger.
Straight up engine porn with matching soundtrack!

I look forward to the next project you find.

Haha, not sure where the schiada rumor came from but I can assure you I did not get one, where did you hear that from?

I heard you're going to build the fastest Bayliner on the river!

You never know... thats what im saving this for. View attachment 1144265
Around 95 or so, I went to Havasu with my friend and his neighbor, Mike. Mike had an open bow, family cruiser. Maybe a 26ft Bayliner?(I was young, and pretty drunk, so details are a bit fuzzy) Two things are very clear though, the chrome Dooley scoop coming through the dog house, and watching my other friend fly off the bow in a turn 😂

One of those, "I wonder what happened to..." kind of boats.

Amazing winger and i bet it was hard to let it go. Certain projects become a piece of you and i get it. I have been pondering lately too. Is it staying local so we still get to see it around? I look forward to seeing what’s next and I’m sure it is not an f in Bayliner🤣

It will be primarily in the Yuma area. It went to a great guy with respect towards these types of boats. He will definitely take care of it and is doing some great improvements to it in the off season. It was extremely hard to let the boat go. We've had some incredible times in it. With that said, we'll be at Parker and chandler racing in a new boat to me! Should be a blast!

Pics or it never happened... Lets see the new ride... I know you and Chris did a lot of cool work to that winger...

I get attached to some material things, my Daytona one of them. The list of people telling me they are cash buyers when I am ready, makes me think if I could really do it.
Was the offer so good you could not pass it up, or were you kind of bored with it?

I had just assumed you were ready to become a man? Guess I'll put the gold chain and medallion (welcome gift for all Schiada owners) back in the drawer.. LOL
Haha, one day maybe. I'll stick with a drag boat for now.

Got a very good offer on it, couldn't say no
