Old School and Cool

Boat is a 1986 33SE, which is the raised deck model in those days. Twin 370 454's with BW trannies and TRS drives. Was owned for a long time by the brother of the owner of Sonic boats. Boat is in very good condition but not a show boat.

Whoever towed it with a Tahoe, crashed and phucked it up for good should be talked to sternly or beaten within an inch of their life, whichever is legal and ethical. :(

Only a one ton should have touched it.

[fund razor]

If there were no straps.... I would advocate for a the latter.

[Ratickle]

Damn, that sucks.....

is that really the same boat ? :eek:

[Bobcat]

Same lettering , I can see the FL

[BDC1013]

wow... terrible

[Ratickle]

Only a one ton should have touched it.

I'd have no issue pulling it with a 3/4 ton anything. Burb, Pickup, Excursion, etc.

[Ratickle]

Was a Tahoe really towing it?

[Blue Oval]

Nice looking boat

Florida to Colorado? I have towed my 10,000lb package with a 1/2 ton (no engines or drives) a 3/4 ton and a 1 ton. The 1 ton wins.

[Buoy]

OK, where is the story to go along with this?

[fund razor]

According to the new owner, the broker was towing the boat and lost control in Kansas.
I read it on the internet. :)

[Big Time]

I didn't realize that was the same boat....damn. How much would you think the whole package weighed in at...11k?

[fund razor]

Got it back on the trailer somehow. I guess you wouldn't have to be too careful at that point. :o

[Bobcat]

He's got to be heartbroken over this.

[fund razor]

He's got to be heartbroken over this.
No question. I was heartbroken FOR him. (A little pizzed at what seems on face like an avoidable catastrophe too)

[glenncal1]

Just go a call from insurance, big suprise boat is totalled. Good thing is I will get my purchase price back and can look for another.

[Bobcat]

That's good news !

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

glenncal, Good News for you.

I guess that broker has a new [to him} boat in his driveway now.

[Buoy]

No question. I was heartbroken FOR him. (A little pizzed at what seems on face like an avoidable catastrophe too)

quite avoidable, but "catasrophe's" naturally happen:eek::puke::rolleyes:

Now I understand why you were asking about DMC's Scarab III:D
Good luck in the (continued) search. There are plenty out there.
Best wishes that everything gets resolved quickly!

And some make the mistake of inviting catastrophe's into their homes!:dupe::bump:

For the record, let it be noted that this is John's Hi-Jack:26:

Sorry 'bout that Glen.

Hope you find the right one for you.:)

[Ratickle]

I think we all contributed.



Glen, what are you looking for?

Good. Still sucks. I felt really bad for you. That was a nice piece.

[fund razor]

Now I understand why you were asking about DMC's Scarab III:D

That is a nice piece too.

[WETTE VETTE]

Mental note for next boat purchase. COD meaning don't pay til its safely in my driveway!

Thanks for the lesson!:cheers2:

[phragle]

Did somebody say nice piece???
