Popular Post 41chevy Posted October 25, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) Two crappy photos, $1200 and a 1500 mile round trip from Fork Union Va to Union City, Tenn. not counting that we are in Maine right now, that adds another 730 on to it. Igot no idea what shape it's in, what power or trans or the exact model, but I can't see it being cut for scrap. Just looks too solid to me. Very least I get spares or my pair of Acars.

Yeah and the Ritz Laguna Nigel is gonna have cable TV so I can watch "Ice Road Truckers." (No not really...) But at least I can have carrot ginger soup, truffle chimichurri, and morita glazed pork belly with my Christmas dinner. And of course the Candied Pomegranate with my desser. So with a 20% tip and if you stiff the valet, a famiy of 4 could eat dinner for about $600.00. Yikes!

The engines are very tired and there is no place to run it near us in Va, so I will probably strip the engines and gauges out and put it in the corner of the barn.

It will top out at 82 at 5300 rpm , with 3 blade 33 degree props. It is 38 feet long. a tad to fast for trolling though. 2 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be the fastest runner on Lake Anna. There's big money in moving product from louisa to Spotsylvania dont'cha know.

Seriously, I bet you couldn't run more than a few miles anywhere on the coast without the Coast Guard taking an interest in you. Up on Long Island we'd come out of Port Jefferson Harbor and head west dead center of the Long Island Sound wide open and always pick up a Coast Guard or County heli following us for a bit. The Donzi we had was worse, we could out run the Coast Guard heli on smooth water. Sweet 16 Donzi repowered from a 318 to a 440. Jacuzzi jet drive, 574 h.p. in 16 feet of glass, good for a radar clock 119 mph. Good toy until we hit a foam lobster buoy at speed and punched a big hole in the hull. Made big turns at speed and ran it on the beach in Mount Sinai Harbor My wife says I'm an Adrenalin junkie. I figure I just don't enough to pay for my sins. I keep cheating the reaper since 1971 .
