OK Hollywood. My question is what were you searching on to run across the Shotski? Key words......boat, ski, shotski, SHOT DISPENSER , Parrotheads, bar? Nice find, although it is so silly when people build the shipping in like that. Please post a picture of the one you guys built (or were going to build) out of an old jumper.

You'll notice that many ebay sellers intentionally jack up the price of shipping and sell their goods for very cheap. This limits the amount of $ that goes to ebay, since its commonly a % of the auction's selling price (shipping isnt taken into account). Always take the overall cost into consideration when determining an item's value. ------------- |

| You gotta find one of those guys that undercharge on the item and overcharge on shipping that's close to home. When you win the item, just tell them you will pick it up yourself, no need to ship. Then they're screwed and you got yourself a sweet deal. |

You probably did before you sold this pattern and made $2 mil. Why doesn't someone email him and say they've been skiing on this exact design board for nearly 30 years.

Well, I guess the cats out of the bag. I was in contact with the seller and was hoping to pick it up if it didnt go on ebay. No way is that boat worth $2k with no motor or tranny, even if its structurally perfect (which is doubtful). Oh well. ------------- |

Date Posted: October-20-2007 at 2:51pm

TRBenj, You might get it yet, no one is even bidding this may increase your chances of getting it. Alan you may be on to something. The boat has a 351 in it or had one in it. The interior is up graded. No decals on the side. Would need to see a shot of the back end of the boat to know for sure if it is a BFN and not a Dominique.

Posted By: TRBenj
Date Posted: October-20-2007 at 5:41pm
I asked the guy the same question and he said it was a Barefoot Nautique. Not sure if the 351w was the standard engine on that boat, but the only other real difference would have been the decals, right? Theres a bid on it now ($2500) so Im out. I wouldnt have paid more than $1k for it. It would cost more to piece it back together than its worth, and I dont think you could make back the money by parting it out... not sure what the person bidding on it is thinking. ------------- |
Posted By: 87BFN owner
Date Posted: October-20-2007 at 5:51pm

We I think the 454 came standard in the BFn with the option of the 351. Where as the dominique was the other way around. The interior suggests it is a Dominique. I have never seen a BFN with that interior package. But there is a first for everything. ------------- |
Posted By: 87BFN owner
Date Posted: October-20-2007 at 8:24pm

I was board at work today and was looking through the refference section. The 1988 Dominiquie came standard with adjustable passanger bucket seat with swivel, deluxe stern seat with storage. Drink holders on motor box were optional equiptment. The officials jump seat was the option on the barefooter, not sure if this is a bucket or just a single seat. As opposed to the love seat that was standard. So I am definitely leaning more towards the boat on ebay being a Dominique. ------------- |
Posted By: Hollywood
Date Posted: October-22-2007 at 12:53pm
|
I'm leaning towards Dominique as well, because of that observer seat and dash. There doesn't appear to be much fading on the stripe, probably because there weren't any giant BAREFOOT NAUTIQUE graphics on there either.
James, where are you reading the big block was standard? I believe you could order either just like most SNs had the GT-40 and not Pythons. Most BFNs were ordered to use for barefooters, so they usually went with the big block. The official's jump seat is similar to the jump seats CC uses today, you can see them in the '89 brochure on the BFN.  ------------- |

Hollywood, I think your right on the 454 option. I thought I saw somewhere in one of the previous year brochures that is was standard. I have been wrong before, could be now. I have only herd of 3 BFNs with 351's in them and they were all 3 91-94's. So I guess with the number of BFN's out there with 454's might have been more of an assumtion than a fact that the 454 was standard and the 351 was option. ------------- |

Nothing like a good stereo, hearing the music while skiing or of course sharing your music of choice with the rest of the lake! Cannot imagine the TV monitors as being very functional, I can barely see my cell phone screen on a sunny day so what good would those screens be? The over the tower bimini's are also nasty looking IMHO.

Doc, you see this? This was my question when we spoke the other day. Sounds like a regular Chevy cam wouldnt work for RR, but youre right- they do turn the same way. ------------- |

Impressive, its one thing when people reach celebrity status on our little site, but when
people start referring to CCfans by name on other national calibre sites or media, (ebay, drudgereport, utube, new york times, good morning america, Jay Leno....)and a single name is recognized (kind of like Cher or Liberace) now that is really impressive!! ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

waterdog, don't wish to rain on your parade, BUT....
Mallory builds both types R/H and L/H Some of their motors use a gear set up ;gear to gear crank spins r/h and cam spins l/h. this is done in the 454 that 87BFN has.... Then there are R/H that use a timing chain set up,crank and cam spin reverse.Then the distr. drive gear must be cut backwards to spin the oil pump and rotor in the proper direction...... Yes you are correct that the distr. does not care, but there are two different drive gears . YLM624BV is for right hand rotation YLM624AV is convetional rotation the gear is different ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

I haven't seen every possible comb - MY 305
(blue water 198 in the ref sec.) and the 355 4 bolt, is gear to gear reverse rotation with a DUI distributor. (78 ski tique) I've never seen a R/R with a chain.

Ther is a buddy of mine that has a 38 foot house boat w/ twin Crusaders one left and one right.They are V-Drives built in the late 70,s.
They appear to be 350ci, and he installed two new starters before a trip down the Mississippi,one motor cranked and ran great, one motor just cranked.After chasing his tail for a day he brought me the starters.One is left and one is right rotation. Just curios as to how crusader did it, rotation wise?????? ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

Pete, There are boats listed everyday that are scams, you can tell just from the way they're listed and most are pulled within a day. The scam is that most require atleast partial payment once a bid is won, so you open yourself up to paying for something that the seller may not even have. There are recourses to get your money back but I would bet most scammers cover their tracks pretty good. Bottom line, if the deals too good to be true, it probably isn't. Gotta be careful and when bidding on something of value talk to the seller in person. ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

As Alan mentioned the scammers are asking ridiculously low "Buy it Now" prices and require high % payment immediately after the auction. They can also steal somebody's eBay account and list a boat they don't even have! You will usually find inaccurate descriptions and unusual wording. "Pro Hoss 454 small block motor"... Most of the time the actual boat is recognized for sale on other sites, and the listing is yanked.
I would never send anyone more than a couple hundred $$$ deposit for a vehicle bought on eBay. ------------- |

Pete,
There is an Aquanut Parent I know who got sucked into one of these scams, he won the auction of a too good to be true deal, the seller requested a wire transfer, about $15k, he transferred the money and you can imagine the result. Obviously not very smart on his part. Interesting enough the same exact listing/boat showed up again a few months later, I contacted the owner posing as an interested buyer, based on the emails back/forth it was most likely the same scammer, when we got to the point of me needing the account # for a wire transfer he vanished. To date they never caught up with this individual or this parents $15k. I think your safest bet on buying over the Internet is always use PayPal as I believe there are some safeguards built in, also beware of cashiers checks, have heard stories of scams with them as well. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1143" rel="nofollow - Mi Bowt |

I refuse to give a deposit on a vehicle. Most all people I have done business with on ebay are willing to wait a couple days for me to come pick up the item and pay in full. I make arrangements for this to happen before I win though. If they are not willing to go along with terms I am comfortable with I stop bidding. ------------- |

I've been buying and selling on ebay and craigs list for years and have never been scammed. On major purchases like a boat, car or motorcycle, keep it local or plan on taking a trip. One exception - manufacturer authorized dealers. I may find the deal and dealer on ebay but I contact them through the through the manufacture's website. That's the phone number I call to make payment arrangements. Otherwise, anything private, if it's worth the savings it's worth touching it, seeing the paperwork and then putting down the money in person.
Watch out for star ratings - if the seller has 50*'s and has been buying $5-$10 ebay items for a few months and never sold anything similar to what you are looking at - stay away. I was looking for Harley Fat Boy - found an '03 listed for $5K with an offer to end auction early - guy claimed to be in Chicago and wanted me to Western Union him a grand deposit. I told him my brother-in-law would come by and give him cash the same day - he disappeared. Three days later the same bike showed up in an LA based ebay listing. For motorcycles, I've found steals on ebay based on time of year. I was looking at a Big Dog Chopper locally, an '05 with low mileage. New the bike is mid-30's with options, 2years old it's mid 20's. I found one from a Toledo Dealer lelivered to NJ for high teens with NO mileage (about 350 miles on it). My 2005 Ski Nautique 226LTD was a leftover on the internet this June with only 10hrs on it on a new Eagle tandem trailer. I called the dealer who was asking $44K to get rid of it to make room for his 2007's and I sent him a downpayment as fast as I could - again, factory Authorized dealer. I only buy site unseen from factory authorized dealers, and even they dump stuff cheap if you catch them at the right time. Patience is the key - you might have to search ebay every day for months, but in the end if you are careful, you can make out. ------------- Pelican from Greenwood Lake, NJ http://www2.snapfish.com/slideshow/AlbumID=184803425/PictureID=4003976019/a=75860500_75860500/t_=75860500 '54 Atom |

And just to prove Jim's point, the seller ended the bid early due to an error in the listing, Bull..., scam. ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |
