Just finished reading the posts here... My laughing muscles still hurt while typing this...
BTW, these posts are the reason why I have the signature I have...

Seriously now. When my new decals arrive... they'll say: "Maasmasters Nautique", cause it will be the new towboat for our showteam. Think it's very appropriate!

Riley, the Exhaust rings were a gift from Reidp, the exhaust clamshell is OEM, along with the blower that still works.
The U Bolts were added for pulling the Parachute,lottsa mods in that area of the boat.Single ply of glass has little strength,two more layers and a backing board solved that problem.
Pull on the eyes is about 900lbs. w/ a 150 lb. rider. Have pulled 450 feet, but tend to stay shorter now 150 to 200 feet give plenty of lift and is easier to handle.....

Eric, some boats deserve to be trailer queens. My brother's got that Century Resorter that I've posted pics of. He got sick last summer and didn't want to put it in the water. He put it in my garage and my boys spent about 2 weeks detailing it. When it was done, it looked so good that I told him it deserved to be a trailer queen and he should build a garage for it. It should not be putting it on a mooring all summer and not using it. He answer was to have my boys run it around the lake as much as they want.

Boat dr's boat looks deserving of trailer queen status to me. I hope to get a ride in it someday. I never heard of an inboard that'll go 60 mph for real.

Boat dr, you pull a para sail with it. I didn't know yu did that. You got to post pics.

Eric, if I can get my Mustang seaworthy and mechanically sound, it will spend most of the summer on a mooring and be a regular driver. It will be nice, but I don't think it will ever be like Boat dr's.

Some day I hope to have a 66 or 67 Barracuda that will be a true trailer queen.

criticism is a form of flattery, or even jealousy...you'll only hear me say that once, these guys know im bustin there balls, its what men do.....i rather fight with you guys than my wife cause she's in control of something you guy's dont have and all this back and forth makes me want to build a boat that does 61 mph and it does the same for others i would hope.....competition always improves things

All this comes from the guy that is PROUD to own a Maxuum,powered by a base line 5.0.
No whistles or bells, odds are it has a Volvo/Penta outdrive.Just the average tube puller,Have you any pictures to post of that fine piece of work??????
Or are you just into bashing anyone or everyone that has put both pride and a lot of time into their rides.
If my memory serves me right your present boat was a seizure,customer did not want it as bad as you did, or was this a different one.
Either way who got to whom??????Not to knock your Maxuum Eric,Fine Boat,I place it right up there with the Bayliners and Trackers............Boat dr

That's ok. I'd rather you be in the mood, seeing your the only tranny guy that's not only heard of a Dearbo, but is willing to work on one. How's the time frame looking.

Hopefully, I'll be getting busy soon, and won't have so much time to yack, myself.

Eric,

Our chocolate is still the best in the world, the weather is sh*t and april 1st is still far away (opening of the harbor).

In the meantime, I'm just enjoying you guys so lovingly bashing on each other

Kristof, neat thing about this site is I can bash him online and listen as he talks smack as to how fast a boat he has and how I own a trailer Queen.How backwards his mentality is and how even Ducks fly south for the winter.
These are all facts and ha knows it, end of subject, then he turns around and calls me on the phone to congratulate Karen and I on our upcoming wedding.
With friends such as these ,you gotta watch your back...........Boat dr

Eric,
Haven't heard of that compagny yet, but will do some research... Do you remember the name of the town it's located in?

Doc,
At least you invited him (and his boat) at your wedding... that will be a party they'll talk about for decades haha.
