we spent 4 years re doing the boat and in one second it was gone. the repairs went way past the insured value of the boat plus a huge safety issue with the location and extent of the damage. We all walked away and the boat can be replaced.

Dude, I'm sorry to hear that. Pics of the whole boat?

It was a sudden and freak thunder storm with really high winds. Caught people by surprise.

The date is wrong on that camera. I've seen that boat before.

That definately reminds me of the old Eliminator adds

did it ever sell, or did the owner trying to sell still own it?

Looks like someone tried to got rid of it the old fashioned way.

**Shallow Minded** · 10-21-2009 01:47 PM

I heard through a surveyor friend of mine it was some sort of electrical short... If I remember, some punk kids had just stolen all the stereo equipment and the wires got crossed. That was a nice 50' that came from LOTO.

I was just kidding around, I feel sorry for the owner. Of course in today's market the owner would do better with a total then selling it.

I don't remember what happened, but here was a wreck in OK a couple of years ago.

This boat was Jim Darr's at one time, then sold, and the seller was trying to get 195k for it for a long period of time.. then the price dropped around 135k with a blown motor if i remember reading correctly, have no clue if it ever sold before the electrical issue..

Not sure how much a helicopter cost, but I am betting it was worth many many more dollars than that bow rider they were trying to tow! WTF were they thinking?
