spankis Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Nice pickup, brother. Buckeye Lake's not dirty fyi, at least not anymore. It's too bad people can't let it's old issues die . How much does a ski like that run? You didn't say how old it is but it looks pretty late-model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnaplay1647545503 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Nice pickup, brother. Buckeye Lake's not dirty fyi, at least not anymore. It's too bad people can't let it's old issues die . How much does a ski like that run? You didn't say how old it is but it looks pretty late-model. Nice ski paul. And buckeye lake is still considered dirty by alot of people. There are alot of outboard motors used on that lake. Outboard motors produce alot of oil in the water. When you get out of buckeye lake, you feel as though theres a layer of oil on you(last year and every year prior). The lake is very shallow and the props turn up alot of the residue in the mud below the water including debris. You are taking a chance of doing major damage to a boat when your out there since the water can become very shallow very quickly. Not as likely for a jetski that sits on the water but a boat that sits 4' below can be damaged quickly and cost $$$$$$ to repair. Bent props are a big issue and I know guys who have ripped off entire outdrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know where not to go though, my family's had a house on northbank since the 60's. Although that's not the kind of "dirty" most people are referring to. I too have seen transoms ripped out by morons going places there's no reason to go... All that aside, that seriously is an awesome price to include the rebuild. I've heard good and bad things about 3 seaters, but either way I'm sure a 1200 will move out Paul! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I have never seen a lake where 50' from shore your boat bottoms out and you go from cruising along to a dead stop and everyone about goes over the front. I wish it were a nicer lake, its closer to me than alum creek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 well i don't see you getting the keys to the vette...... i've wanted to get a wave runner for a few years, i even have a spot at the new house to keep it. just no money right now to buy one. if you had another i'd put gas in it and go ride with you when ever you wanted to go.
