There was a fixture you put over headlights of your pimp mobile some years back that rotated changing the headlight colors. I think he needs to add that and rig up one of those hub caps that keeps on spinning when you stop right in the middle of all those fenders. That would take away the need for a large radar beam antenna rotating as he pulled in to the dock.

Why does this retard of a boat keep showing up? Anybody alerted the guys on CW or WC about it? It could start the biggest thread ever!

Someone is giving the seller hell about the "small chip in the gelcoat" in the questions section at the bottom of the page. Kind of funny.

Sorry didn't know it was posted before. I looked and didn't see it. Figured it was too funny not to post about it. The owner must be a real piece of work.

That's unbelievable... 12 fenders?? Raised bow pulpit with a seat....and the boat is from South Dakota.. I can't even count the stanchion legs on each gunnel. And he's Bass busting with it..?? Friends don't let friend drive drunk, one of his boat buddies should have come after him with a baseball bat a long time ago to stop that abortion from happening..

It needs twin 225's to push that mess..


I wonder if anyone has sent a picture of that thing to Boston Whaler.. It might just be the first one that does sink..!!!!

There used to be a guy on here who had a Parker pilothouse with two 30hp kickers, and a big single. He ran on the kickers most of the time. It was my desk top picture on a former computer. He was a single-handed, long range fisherman, with a lot of his own innovations, and a better grip on functionality. But, I really liked his boat.

12 Fenders, 18 legs on the tower? 2 TV antennas on a 22 foot CC? Pulpit.

That boat is one of the strangest I've seen considering all the $$ he must have in it.

I sent the ebay link around to a couple Whaler fans I know... Too strange what people will do sometimes to a toy.... I bet when he was a kid, his bike was a real trip.

Yeah, I bet he used store bought wheel-clackers instead of cards, in his spokes!

He's going to do the same thing with his next boat too!

I heard it was going to be a Trophy by Bayliner!

Thats so tacky its awwwwsummmm. He has enough fenders to go all the way around the boat. Then he added the don't get in my way 4 air horns and not to be topped he added 3 very big spot lights to blind the person if the airhorns are not enough. His friends won't call him crazy because to keep them happy he install three captin chairs up front to keep them all comfortable. If they get drunk they cannot fall over because he install the extra high railing. Heck you could probably buy the boat and get back half of your money just selling off all the SS and then make up the rest by selling off all the stuff he has mounted on the boat. The draw back you be the cost to repair all those hole and the nick up front.

All of the "add-ons" probably cost more than the boat itself. Gotta hand it to him though. He didn't scrimp on anything. He has hydraulic jackplates for those auxillary motors! Wonder what his car/truck looks like??
