Do yall want him to not get his swag bag or something?

PM @460 2.0 for your swag bag. Hopefully he will let you slide for not PMing him sooner.

We are also going to need you to confirm that all your toys were paid for with cash including the 2nd house for full membership privileges.

Who cares about boats and wifes/girlfriends....real questions for RDP:

1. What do you think about Robbie Gordon and/or the Speed car?
2. Do you pay cash for everything you own?

Haha Thanks tamalewagon for the credit, but Mrs. Woods would probably still standby her original theory! 😁
Get your needless, unnecessary and incorrect prepositions ready. That way some of the inmates will know where you're going to.

Thanks, as far as the pics of my hot wife or girlfriend goes, I have to read through the court order and see if the restraining order mentions posting of pics 😁
Does not have to be YOUR hot wife or girlfriend , hot neighbor works !

Hey Guys,
Not sure if this is the right forum, but thinking of selling my most recent project so I figured I'd throw up a few pics if anyone out there might know someone interested. Thanks 69809.jpeg 69810.jpeg 69810.jpeg 69806.jpeg 67341.jpeg 68663.jpeg 68662.jpeg 64260.jpeg 56847.jpeg 56844.jpeg

The right forum would be the classifieds down below.. click forums then scroll down and goto boats and watercraft.

If you are in havasu let me know I’ll go shoot the boat for you and put it up. Really nice looking 24

What kind of speeds are you seeing? Is the bottom work done?

Thanks Dave,
Just put a 468ci 524hp motor in and the boat ran 63 on GPS. Was happy with that number especially when you consider the boat weights 4k dry. Unfortunately I'm not in town, but will be back out there next week. Would love if you wanted to stop by for a beer and snap a few photos. Absolutely everything on the boat has been redone,,,new motor (3 hrs) rebuilt velvet v-drive, rebuilt trans, new interior, new gauges, all new stainless. The Cavatation plates were just finished. By Chris Irick. Mike King just fab up the swim step brackets for the Eddie Marine steps. Brand new Bimini top etc etc. Really nice family / ski boat. Ive got another boat in the works, so need the room.

Dave he has been playing the long game…

He just pulled one of the best 2ff moves I’ve ever seen!

He knows where the classifieds are ;)

Lol I know.. that said I still try to he kind to the newbies.. and I’ve seen the boat in person a few times.

Did it ever occur to you that me offering to shoot the boat next week might be a good chance to take a look at it? 🤪🤪 (First in line)

24xs is on my short list and has been forever.

Besides this thread is something I’ve been thinking about for awhile. Are there people that try to take advantage? Sure.. is this guy one of em? Who knows.. probably.

but another question, a more important question..

If someone was a new member and this was the way they were greeted would they stick around?

This guy took it in stride and has humor.. I’d love to see him stick around. If it was a shorter game I’d just check the box and. I’ve that post to the classifieds for him.


Someone that restored a boat to that caliber and has another one in the works is more important to rdp than a little clever spam in the lounge. The comedians in the thread though.. maybe shouldn’t quit their day jobs.

My apologies to anyone that was offended that I listed my boat shortly after my new internship into the RDP fraternity, I assure you it was not malicious. As I said in my original post, I've lurked on this website for several years now and thought it would not only be a great place to get to know a few good boating guys it might also be entertaining as well and yes a good outlet for my sale. I've owned probably 15 boats throughout my life and boating is a true passion of mine. So for anyone who's living in the basement of their Moms house with their 20 cats watching reruns of Miami Vice or Barney with a jar of Vaseline,, I didn't mean to intrude on "your" site. For all the true boating guys,,,I owe you a beer!

Your good, we give some shit and 99.9% of the time it's just in good fun, if you've seen the classic 2FF for sale threads in the lounge then I think you get, if you haven't seen those threads then you get it now🤣. Stick around, it's fun.

I bought this boat from Shane @ Lake Havasu Marine and most of the restoration work was done there. Shane said he placed a straight edge on the bottom of this boat to determine whether or not it had a hook and found it to be extrememly straight. Other then the typical slight prop steer the boat handles very well.

What kind RPM’s is your cruising speed & top end?

Thank you!
Brent
The motor only has roughly 3 hrs on it now, but last trip out it ran 63 mph @ 52/5300 RPM. Cruising speed is anywhere from 42 to 47 mph @ 42/4500. I have the rev limiter set @5500. My motor builder ( Mike Hayden ) says i can set the limiter to 6000 rpm,,but why.
