We are looking for more boats to film as features for either private or manufacturers. If you have a new delivery from a manufacturer we are interested! If you have a boat you restored, or a survivor we are interested!

V drive
Jet
Outboard
IO

We want it all! Prefer to shoot during the weekdays in Havasu or Parker, but can make it on weekends by appointment!


What do ya got? Shoot me a text, or a PM, or hell post a pic of it!


Some recent feature boats and boats that will be featured soon.

I hope some folks come out of the wood work. There's a lot of bitchin boats that regularly hit the water.

I'm also digging the features and other boating content.

Late 80’s Connolly. Never registered and never put in the water until a couple summers ago.

Some guy that made fittings for Indy cars had it and towed it around to trade shows. He would pull the engine out after each show and wrap everything up. Supposedly it was built for the kilo speed race.

The guy passed away and after several years the wife was ready to sell. My uncle bought it.

@Minimatt really should get on this. His "beater" is pretty badass!
V-drive is currently out of it and disassembled, but I'll have the ol' garbage scow ready before summer. The kids want to use it exclusively this summer, and leave the Mastercraft in storage. Perhaps they can chip in for gas... 😃

Well when you're ready, my uncle has a good detail guy that lives on the ranch.

I don’t know man, some real boats would be cool to see. Not everyone can hit it out of the park. Your cruiser doesn’t exactly look like a slouch anyways.

No love for some
Old school ski boats? Mastercraft, Malibu, Nautique, or Sanger?

Outerlimits SV29 bottom, 30 Eliminator Eagle top, full open bow walk through, TCM 1200, Wiesmann Dry Sump 6, Huber Digital shift transmission, enough lights to blow the breaker, SeaDek flooring, extended swim platform, etc.

Its been a few years and its having a gelcoat problem on the top deck, but its still in good shape.

I saw this a while back sitting outside that big indoor storage place in Parker as I drove through town so I had to pull over and give it a good look. It is definitely a one of a kind kick ass float! Well out of my price range but I sure would love to own it.

Mine is in my sig and you already reviewed that. The 30 is my father's ride currently, and its too big for me to use on Arrowhead, though the water conditions on that lake certainly warrant it.

I forgot to mention the seating arrangement in it is very much like a wakeboard boat, full circumferential. That's not everyone's cup of tea, but it sure has lots of room to move around in than the typical bolsters arrangement in most go-fast boats.
