Looking for a lower river cruiser

[rivrrts429]

If anyone is thinking about selling their family truckster shoot me a message. Prefer jet and open bow and/or deck but open to any shallow water cruiser.

I’ve glanced around at what’s on the open market but thought I’d throw it out to those that aren’t yet.

 

[rivrrts429]

Nothing? Ultra, Shockwave, Cole, etc...

What's up with that bad ass jet of yours?

I’ve always liked the 20 eliminator cruisers. Have seen some pretty quick ones on the river

Sorry to see the Bitz gone. But, you'll find a perfect fit for the entire family. First world problems.

Thanks Steve, I was sorry to see it go as well. It’ll be fun playing with something new though.

I think my son is going to put this up for sale in a few months. It’s been at the Lower River for the past 13 years. Perfect family boat. Biesemeyer Whaler with tower.

That Cole that just went for sale is a dime piece. I/O though...

Saw this picture and have to make a statement. Never, ever let anyone set on the bow of the boat as these girls are doing in this picture. It may seem ok, first it is an automatic ticket. Second, I know of a experienced boater, who accidently hit the toddle (at idle), and killed his 12 year old daughter, onsite she was dead. Keep this in mind going forward, it can instantly ruin your life.

The boat was sitting on the sandbar in less than a foot of water not running .Not our first rodeo !
Look at the sand !

 

[RCDave]

How long? Hard deck or open now? Performance #'s?

Well I am going to call it out every time I see it and hopefully people will learn. Sorry you took it as critical (!) and got defensive. I am just hopefully making people think who do drive with people sitting on the bow. My rule, no arms/legs or standing in the boat period. When they are in my boat that is the rule. If they break it they do not ride in my boat again. I band my broker in-law 20 years ago because he refused to stop sitting on the transom during a ride, I turned and went back to shore, he is never allowed in my boat again.

No argument. Boat was sitting on the sandbar. It’s a jet. Kids were here getting ready to offload.
Some people just like to get sanctimonious before they look at the facts.

By the way, this is a 20 ft with a Berkeley jet. Great family boat.
My next choice would be a 20 ft Eliminator open bow or buy a closed deck for cheep and cut the deck out . Ive done a few of them

Look for a Bahner 20... my old boat after I sold it making a pass

 

[arch stanton]

Shockwave has a used 1200 hp open bow jet for sale

 

[brgrcru]

I forgot
the lower river is closed.

Did your boat have a rear view mirror so you could see your rooster tail or did you have to turn your head to watch it?

I’m pissed Wheeler. I ripped by your pad last Sunday in my red boat and no Wheeler was seen.

Contact me great 24 spectra 1980 great condition

So who is the lucky new owner of the Bitz? Wish it would have been me but I got two to many boats.

It went from terrorizing Big River to terrorizing Blythe. I don’t know if I could of stood seeing it run around the Parker area so I was happy to hear it going further South lol

A late 20’s husband and wife got it. It went to a great family. Really nice people [emoji106]

Mares98 had a TPR deck boat for sale but I just checked and it sold.

How much do you want for the 24’ Spectra?

No mirror, I rarely had it up like that.. it had a sweet spot at 4 clicks on the up button and thats where it stayed.. it was about 4 ft high when it ran best at WOT

Looks like you quoted the wrong guy my Spectra is a 21'.

That boat looks awesome. I’ve been slowly looking for a bigger boat and this might fit the bill if it’s priced right.

 

[warpt71]

I was thinking about selling my Carrera about a month ago but it looks like I'll have kiddos with me all summer.

I thought I saw you cruise by RoadRunner last weekend! Sounded good

I still want to cruise up to BR from LL this season, you had better get something to get you on the water see we can float lol

 

[fmo24]

There was a vector jet with a turbo motor for sale for awhile on here. That could be a fun sleeper

I was in the keys working. Next time give me a call or put it out on the hot line, the @milkmoney hot line and all should know of your intentions.

@rivrrts429 did you ever pick up a new float??? I made the drive north saturday of Memorial weekend to hang with my buddy up there, ended up in peepee cove for a bit. We're headed out in the morning and may head north again, we'll see where the day takes us!

I picked this little turd up. It’s the most boring thing I’ve ever owned lol

I won’t be up this weekend but throw a full beer at my head if you see my turd.

Comander? Same mold as my Carrera, and I agree, most boring thing I've driven on the water lol

My buddy up there picked one up, pinks and blue over white, think the transom reads "Liquid Kaos"

Yep, that’s the one, it’s a Commander. It’s immaculate, like perfect, but I’m almost over it. Going to need a second boat for a hot rod.

I’ll be on the lookout for Liquid Kaos. I’ll be back up 6/27.

Its just about a perfect boat for our stretch of river. I dearly miss my flatty though, Im determined to get that back home this year
