No no, they last much longer. There are quite a few people I talk to on another forum that have had theirs 5-7 years +

It looks great! He did amazing work on it. The deal I had worked out was tricky and probably a one time kinda deal, but he said under normal circumstances he would have charged $3,500. Honestly, I love the paint, but the next boat I will have someone vinyl wrap. I thought about having someone do that carbon fiber wrap on a boat, or if I ever get another wave runner on it.

Yeah, but now I have a kickass boat that's exactly what I want and designed by me. It would have been MUCH easier and probably cheaper to get one already done. I will give you that. But, it's a hobby so what can I do..... A guy in Groveport is who painted it. It is Martin Auto body and Restoration - He does mostly car restoration stuff, but does some boats also. The paint he used is PPG. His name is Ken Martin, the owner. A real nice guy. Tell him Matt with the Formula he painted black sent you.

Ahhh so jealous. I wish I had moved out of the city and got something with a pole barn. I really wish mine was kept inside.

Does he keep it indoors?

LOL - X5 is prob same as his Bravada. It is the I6 not the V8. Having the Ram I couldnt justify buying the V8. The Ram though would have no problems dragging it around. Gas would destroy him though. 8-10 MPG towng FTL

Hell yeah, I wouldn't worry with the Bravada for such short distance. It will be fine and will be good enough for the ramp. I would def say no on the van now knowing the size of the boat.

Pretty sure Bravada (same thing I know) with AWD.

Been a while since any updates....here are some. I will be on the water by next week testing. I have it a little more together now, I was just too tired to take any more. You also have to deal with my Black Berry's crappy camera. (EDIT: that blue on the seats its just tape to protect the white vinyl. It is not a blue stripe) http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w211/Matt86K5/Formula%20Boat/New%20Stroker/IMG_3261.jpg http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w211/Matt86K5/Formula%20Boat/New%20Stroker/IMG00093.jpg http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w211/Matt86K5/Formula%20Boat/New%20Stroker/IMG00094.jpg http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w211/Matt86K5/Formula%20Boat/New%20Stroker/IMG00095.jpg

Depends on size and weight of the boat. You may need the AWD from the SUV tp pull it out of the water. Vans, FWD, Big Boats, and Boat ramps don't mix well together..... Which one is this? Didn't you sell the whipple'd boat or is it a different one?

No no no, I have a nice digital with Hi-Def for that.

It also does sexy wheelies!

Still work well?

If you can find it, that would be awesome. Let me know. Find out if it can please. If the above does not pan out I will buy if need be, then resell. How much?

I want to get some old stuff put onto dvd's. I would prefer borrow since this will be the only time I am needing it, but will buy if need be. Anybody have one to sell cheap or that I can borrow?

They fixed both of my boxers and do most of their general health care also. They are great people. They do tons of free work too for area humane societies. Really nice to see a organization like this now days, doesn't rip off their customers and gives back to the community - both human and animal wise.

Nice bike. I am thinking about a track bike in the future...just not quite yet though. Free bump! GLWS.

I would trade you for the VIP probably, just dont know that you would want it.

I'm buying this now. Reliable, easy on gas, twin helm, the whole 9 yards. http://columbus.craigslist.org/boa/1796361173.html

Sold! Tim - they sold to somebody I know and trust. So we are good! Worst case, at least he lives out west. LOL.. No really, he is a good guy.

This is them. http://www.jegs.com/i/Proform/778/66910/10002/-1 Let me know if you want to try them, I don't know if they will fit LT1 or not. Judging by Jegs list, I would say no.

$160.00 bump

I am selling my 1.6 ratio 7/16 Stud roller rockers. I went with a different set. They were going to be for my boat and only have 30 minutes of run time. They will work with cars boats whatever. For SBC. I will also include the stock pushrods for free. If you want them take them if not I will pitch them. $100.00

I know, I am really torn about selling it. I just have no use for it and hate that I ever wasted my money on it. I'm hoping someone I know buys it. I also thought about ebay and selling to someone out of state. It's kind of a lose - lose.
