Can't argue with that Robert. Thats exactly why I will stick with my SBC instead of a BBC, I don't give a rats ass to go fast I just want to do it. 65-70 is fine with me. Pull the built motor and put in a stock 396 with a 750 and try it again.

I am absolutely sick (literally) about not being able getting those 2 flatties.

My piece of crap will never be anything but just that. I think I need some anti-depressants.

Either way Robert I enjoy your online chats so please don't fade away.

Robert I see your getting a ton of interest about someone buying the boat.  Looks like O G will be sticking around for a while.  Looks like you'll have to "grow" some amigos back rookie...  coolcool  Just because your a big shot now with that new cruiser, dont forget the rest of us peons.

Hell, I go faster being pulled on an intertube with a coldie in one hand... smurf

Just remember even if you sell her you will still need some coolcool...

Dont forget to come hang out with us at the Chowchilla fair May 19...  Maybe you could wipe the boat down or something not to dangerous...  I can provide you with ear, eye and butt protection if you like...devil

Once again its up for sale (poor OG).

It's on the Sacramento craigslist for $9,900.00 and on e-bay for $5,000 and rising. The seller is from North Highlands (near Sacramento) and says he has put in $18,000 into it.

At least its getting closer to Clear Lake ...LOL

Still a very nice boat, except I would strip the inside of the bedliner and put it back to original.
