Sooner the better. I know you are layin low right now, but when do you think you could? It would be hard for me to make it all the way over there. I will work with you on when you can...

If it originally came with a cowl, it didn't come to me when I got it. The gas cap is on...it is recessed.

Is this an electric razor style? Or does it have a gas motor already?

 

No, it's a gas motor on it. But, it has lights, speedo, and electronic ignition and all that junk. It also has a battery that I don't have the charger for. Hell, find a way to charge it and it may fire LOL. I don't have a clue. Like I said, I was just going to rip out all of that crap and put a regular motor on it.

 

Trade you for a set of your water skis??

I would guess electrical. I was going to pull all the electronics out and just put a regular 50cc gas motor on it. The motor there has compression when you pull the string pull string.

Bump for $20 - come get it.

And, don't sell the boat. Your kid will love it! My son was only a year old this past summer and we had him out almost every weekend on the cuddy. He loved it.

 

Good luck and congrats on the baby!

I just had mine done 2 years ago. Was very cheap. I think he closed up his shop and is working for someone else now. I will call him and see if he wants any side work. Mine came out great.

 

Definitely check craigslist, but avoid sunfun marine like the plague. All kinds of number changing will happen.

 

Also, PM Total Sign (Tommy). He has a Amish guy that does good cheap work.

Public adjuster?

Very interested to find out what it is though.

I've heard many times about how they are pretty terrible offroad and in snow, that's just the first thing that came up when I did a search. I don't have any first hand experience with one.

 

In the original article I posted, it mentions how any vehicle, fwd, rwd, awd, sports car or SUV becomes perfectly drivable in the snow if you put snow tires on.

 

No snow tires here, still does great. I get what you are saying though. Now you can put one positive mark in for the X5 from someone else.

 

My Ram kicks it's ass for sure though.

X5's...

You can find a review for anything and everything.

 

I can say first hand, mine is great.

 

My Dads does just fine after you take the giant 20x12s off the back and go with stock X5 wheels but its not lightning the offroad world on fire.

 

This. We have the normal 17's on and it does GREAT.

My Ram in 4 wheel has not been stuck or slid off the road yet. I have had it in some crazy snow - not found in Ohio - that a car AWD or not couldn't think about touching. Here in Ohio though, I would say most AWD/4WD vehicles are pretty evenly matched, pending the tires and mainly the driver.

 

The X5 AWD does pretty great too. My RWD 5 series sucks a big one. It just has wide ass all season tires though since I have the truck. That probably has alot to do with it.

Any pics of W/D? My sister needs a set. Any idea how old they are?

I've been planning on get a custom tune done, maybe you'd drum up a little business if you had a winter rate. At least for those who could trailer would be able.

Me too! Any winter deals? I just got my power commander and need to get the VROD tuned.

We are having Christmas pics done of my son and niece this Saturday. As soon as she gives me the discs I will send you some pics.

Sounds like an awesome time. Thanks for sharing.

 

I have always like the troll pics. It's just too bad people have to vandalize it.

We have a full size side by side in our attached garage. I usually have to turn the fridge side a little warmer in winter, or else everything freezes. It is older, so it may not be the frost free model others are talking about though. It definitely doesn't start thawing lol

Kick ass. Who's it made by again?

 

and its on hold at the moment, throwing 20k at the motor build cut into play biz cash, what do you need done, you may push me over the edge on it

 

Well actually, the interior is good - already done. But, I was hoping if I could push you to start the interior biz, I can get you to venture into covers too. That I need badly. I guess eventually I will have to take it to your Amish buddy if you don't get into them.

As in, you got the message or you have the shower?? LOL

 

Any word on starting the interior biz?

I will check later this week or early next week.

 

While you are at it, see if you can find that drive shower. I will buy on come spring if I need to. Rather buy yours though... I put this on your facebook too LOL.

Thanks. I did see that, but he wants somewhere heated. Plus, with him pulling his motor and this place having wood floors, I'm not sure if this fits what he wants/needs.

Thats a pretty good deal Matt. 24ft deep seems like you might be pushing it from tongue to drive unit.

 

I know when I had my boat in my great grandfathers garage I had to drop the stern drive to an inch off the ground to save some space. It wasn't necessary because there was still 8ft of room. But for work space it kept it out of the way.

 

I will be VERY close if it works. I will definitely have to put the drive down. It was nice when I was at my old house, the garage was HUGE...for a house. I could get it in sideways, it made it by like 2 inches. It's nowhere close to fitting in my current house.

 

I really want it inside somewhere though. I hate it sitting out.

Please let me know if interested. Please be sure and serious. The only thing that will have me pending doing this or not is if my boat will fit. I'm not going to go get my boat though and try it out until I have someone else interested.

 

Let me know.
