Hoax

My shorty fills up even though it fits tight. I think I will try the shrink wrap trick.

J B weld will work fine.

18 HP Johnson on a 12 foot aluminum boat. Took a while but it would pull 2 of us as skinny kids out of the water on one ski.

@Edbrazil I think NH just got rid of the spotter requirement if skiing in the course.

@LeonL Sorry I should have said the adjuster for the rudder it was completely gone.

Make that the fin adjuster was gone.

Number 19 on your list is totally trashed if it is the same boat i looked at the hull is beat to hell and one of the fins is broken in half the other two did not look much better and the adjuster was gone. Would have been a total waste of five hours driving to go see it if I did not stop to see a old friend on the way.

Works okay not nearly as good as oxalic acid but way better to work with oxalic acid is real nasty and gives of very strong fumes. This seemed much milder and did the job I just had to leave it on a lot longer then I thought about 30 to 45 mins. Bottom line is I would use it again.

@SteveMilano Will this stuff remove decals as asked about in the above post?

@vtjc Glad your not the seller because he is as real AH he knows the boat has major problems and just wants to dump it on some unsuspecting buyer sure glad I noticed the issues before taking it home. Sorry I thought it may have been you. I have tried to contact Ebay but have not heard back from them.

That is why it sounds like he is the seller or at least knows him he has no info as to address or a name in his profile.

@vtjc @Horton vtjc if you did not have money to buy it why did you bid on EBay? Are you the seller by chance? Horton if this guy is the seller he should be banned. If he is not I apologize to vtjc.

@Glock @Rivvy Ebay is definitely going to here about it especially since he relisted it as being in excellent shape. Rivvy I did low ball him (I would have rather punched him in the head but did not want to get arrested and I still thought there might be a chance however slim that he did not know about the problem. He certainly knows now and is trying to find some sucker who buys it sight unseen or knows nothing about engines and does not notice the leaking.) needless to say he did not take the low ball offer.

@vtjc I was the top bidder on this boat and the seller is a total sleaze bag. Took my trailer and drove 3 hours yesterday to go pick it up. He told us the boat was leased by him to a camp and only driven by one driver. I told him they should fire the driver or teach him how to drive. My 2005 LXI is in way better shape this thing has tons of scratches and dings pictures look better than actual condition. The interior was in better shape than the exterior. The scratches did not scare me away they are only cosmetic and the price was real good. So we put it in the water for a test drive and the thing is leaking water big time from the block around the freeze plugs they had silicone or some similar product on the block trying to stop the leaks obviously some one knew there was a problem. Since the boat had no trailer and they serviced it I am sure they must of not winterized it in time and the block froze. I know we get some long winters up here but it has not frozen yet and I am sure they drove it all summer leaking like a sieve. Also around 2000 RPMS the block had a banging noise coming from it. The owner is a dealer by the way and said he did not know about the problem highly unlikely and the sleaze bag certainly does know and he has it relisted on E_Bay for more money saying its fully serviced and in excellent shape he never even changed the oil and it was down at least a quart. I love his story about me not getting financed I had the cash with me to buy it. The crazy thing is this AH has a 100% feedback rating on Ebay.

MattP is doing a great job but @Edbrazil Probably has more skiing history in his head than Matt has in his computer.

@jayski Sorry my bad I thought you were selling it.

If it is that good why are you selling it?

I agree with Jody all of a sudden on my computer unless I click on the forum section at the top of the screen it does not update the posts from the last time I was on line.

@OB1 George come on back up to Plymouth after Oct 1st or so and we will show you what its like to get iced.

Than when you said you had a microburst I had no idea how bad or close to home it was I am amazed you still showed up. You truly have the orange ball addiction.

Ed Hommel (Skip) ended up 5th with what I think is a tournament PB of 5 @ 38. He also never was on a ski until he was 38 years old and skis a short season up in MA. Congratulations awesome job Skip.

Which boat has better wakes at 15 off at real slow speeds like 18-24 MPH.

@MS thanks for the price info seems to be top secret info for many people.
