My boat is in the classifieds

[lucky strike]

Ck it out, it's time for it to have a new home.

[DAREDEVIL]

a link for the ad would be helpfull...lol :sifone:

[lucky strike]

Haven't gotten a call, I don't think a link would matter at this point.
Maybe it's not worth what I would like to get for it.
I'm always open to a reasonable offer though.
I have a spare engine & trans also.

Great boat.. I drove it for the previous owner in Point Pleasant.. It won a lot of races.. We took second that day.

61773

[lucky strike]

Thanks Jim

Look at how much of the bottom of the boat is in the water.. Not much.
That's why they go FAST with not a lot of power.
When this boat had the B&G big engines which were about 550 hp it ran 93 mph.
Now to be able to handle it @ 95 is another story, but Bill G is absolutely the best there is.

So what size engines are in it now..and what speed ??? i think this would be a perfect entry boat for OPA !!!!:cheers2:

[lucky strike]

It has a 2 454's low hp. It is set up to P-5 class specs from 2004.
I think the breakout speed was 70 mph. With the props that are on it it runs 73 wide open. I have used the boat this way for 4 years now with very few problems.

Need to cut a foot off for the perfect class 5 OPA boat......

It has been a perfect pleasure boat for my family & I for 5 or 6 years.

Not a lot of frills but a blast to run & holds 6 people comfortably.

When you pull up to your favorite bar or restaurant on the water the people just go nuts over it every time.

It is a true piece of offshore history & still 95% original the way it came out of the factory & in great shape.

[600sci]

u couldnt run it in 5 OPA or 4 SBI now anyways....only single engines allowed !

but in class 4 OPA it would run awsome with some bigger power..85 breakout !
so twin 500 HP or even more..would be the ticket to race it in OPA !

other then that .i think its a great pleasure poker run boat for LOW $ !

GOOD LUCK with the sale !

[lucky strike]

When it had the B&G engines, about 550 hp each it ran in the low 90's....92-93
Gary Hartman @ B&G in Point Pleasant NJ. built them & throttled for Gazell a bit & has done 90% of the work on the boat during its racing days.

Gary is a friend & was in Fl last week. He serviced & went over the boat for me.

[Ratickle]

That is SBI's. OPA I believe is the same. But the European's I believe is the tip of the bow to the transom running surface. APBA I'm also not sure if it matches the European's.


OPA guys?????

Well, if that is SBI... it has to be OLD..since there is no more P5 in SBI !


and new P4..is single engine only 30 feet 80 MPH max !

Nope, a statement. All classes are measured the same way. Not just SVL.

The last time it raced was in o4 & won the championship in P-5

The boat is a 1988. When it wasn't being raced it was stored in a garage.

[Ratickle]

Did you get a chance to measure per the pic?

[lucky strike]

No but I'll go outside now & do it between the rain drops

[lucky strike]

Looks to be about 30 feet 8 inches.

I'll have to ck it more accurately when I can get some help. Hard to do it alone.

[lucky strike]

Just curious why were these comments by ugg deleted?

[Ratickle]

Friggin auto-spammer. I didn't see this one, I'll clean it up.....

[lucky strike]

You are Johnny on the spot..Thanks .... Now lets get my boat sold .... I'll even through in a Tri Axel trailer & a Dodge 2500 extended cab 4X4 tow vehicle for the same money $29,500 if I can get it off my books before the end of the year.

[lucky strike]

The Dodge truck has been taken out of the deal. I gave it to a family member who wrecked his car with no insurance.

[phragle]

then the family member prolly has no drivers license either now either.

[lucky strike]

No collision insurance to repair his car.
He slid off the road in a rainstorm & slammed into a tree.
Bald tires don't work well in the rain.

Yeah. And a pontoon.

Yes. Absolutely. And an Egg Harbor.

[Bobcat]

East Egg Harbor ?

Here it is with my Don edition 560sl.

Would take the 560 sl for the boat if the miles are below 20,000.

[fund razor]

They are not. :(

How about a 2007 Malibu and a huge bag of beanie babies?

[lucky strike]

How about a 2007 Malibu and a huge bag of beanie babies?

I'll give that some serious thought!

[lucky strike]

See if u can find me a few 560's with low miles.

By the look of your pics u must be a car dealer?

[fund razor]

No. Not a dealer. I just have too many cars. I have a disease that prevents me from passing up a good car.

There was a 560sl up here with around 40k miles, but that is about as low as I have seen. The nice thing up here is that nobody drives them in the winter, so that helps keep the miles down. Mine is higher miles. Like 150k. I bought it from a good friend cheap a few years ago, and it's been a good car. But I rarely drive it and garage it all the time. Never been driven in salt or rain. Has newer wheels, which I like.

[fund razor]

I'll give that some serious thought!

I can get picks of the beanie babies if it helps. :D

[lucky strike]

Find me a buyer for the boat. I haven't had any offers I like.

Your 560 looks sweet.

[lucky strike]

Is the 40k mile sl for sale?

[QUOTE=fund razor;619053]I don't see the ad, but here is one in VA. Aren't these the European headlights?

yup euro lights. We just got in a 1988 Black/ tan 50,000 miles with the same lights.

We have 7 560's in stock.

Silver with black is not a good color for that car, but thanks for the tip. It is a good price if it's a good car.

[fund razor]

Yeah. Probably the worst colors. I like white or red the best on 560s.

Although silver seems to work on older, classic SL cars.

[fund razor]

It's a really big bag of beanie babies. Just throwing that out there. :)

[Ratickle]

I have some I could toss in to help you if you get really close!!!!!
