Anyone want to take this one for a spin on your local water way. Not sure what happened to the bow, but looks interesting

That is awesome!!! I love how he says if it scratches, just spray it with a little can of spray paint and its good as new!!
Than he finishes it off with..."I spent countless hours researching the changes I made to this boat" Really....hours...countless!! Get real!

Take it for free? Oh I would in a heartbeat. Flat black - I could moore it out about 10' further than then end of the dock and catch at least one dock buzzing drunk :twisted: Fill the bilge and sides with that expanding foam (god that stuff is fun) and I might even get even more than one!
The otters and beavers would be bummed since I wouldn't be rocketing as many potatoes - they seem to love hanging out in the evening and collecting missed shots from the cannon.

I think hack job is being too kind. That thing will turn heads all right, they'll all turn away.

Like I said...its been about 5 years so my measurements may be a bit off., but I remember the barrel having atleast a 3" diameter and the chamber being probaly 9" diameter. We mostly used hairspray and the perfect amount with the right trajectory would definetly shoot 200+ yards. We would shoot them to the green on a par 3 which was at least 175 and a perfect one would be over in the trees. I miss those days

Looks sorta military-like. Or, like someone shouldn't have been given a Sawzall for Christmas. What a shame.

Well boys, how many white trash points do we award that guy? I am thinking 10 for the wakeboard tower on a cuddy, 25 points for the "removable cuddy top", and 40 for painting the boat black, and another 25 points for selling this POS on ebay. Since his total is 100 or greater for one incident, he gets and additional 25 bonus pointsn for being a COMPLETE JACKASS!!! :shock:

I'm sure if they saw it there'd be a FW factory engineer just stunned at the stupidity of that idea. Seems like it'd utterly destroy the overall rigidity of the boat by whacking the top deck like that. As for the paint job, oy, what was wrong with the boat under the paint that FLAT BLACK was an improvement? And $8500 for it? Ha!
