This boat was at the boat show 2 or 3 years ago. It was compleetly gutted and started over. It was a beater. Someone spent a lot of time and money and did a good job at the restore. That boat shouldn't be much more than 40. If it is my old mans old Vetor is for sale and absolutly blows doors on that thing. The guy want 42 for it. It is a 557 twin turbo Brummett with a 3A drive on it.
v-drive or outdrive? Any pics?
What's the story on the 3A, is it getting hard to find parts for them? Can they be upgraded if necessary?

That's a clean Vector...:thumbsup
I bet it's not 70 Grand
If you ever want to buy something used buy it from my old man. He cleans and polishes them more than he drives them.
You should have seen the cleaning ritual on the 42 after a Catalina run...for a one hour run we spent about an hour on the ramp and at least another 4 at home. I always told him if we are going to spend this much time cleaning it we need to spend more time using it. It didn't work out the way I was hoping.
I saw the cleaning ritual at Mead, Hahahaha!
That was but a fraction of what is done most of the work is done at home in the garage...it takes the cake after a salt bath in the ocean.
Not quite what I was getting at.

Don't be hatin' on the 2:45 minute trips at 22 mpg. No one ever asked me to tow there boat out either. LOL
After looking at these again, I remember seeing this for sale not long ago. Wasn't this boat for sale just a few years ago on the HB site? What did it sell for then? I think it was being posted by a guy with an Armenian name in Havasu.

Hey River, I saw the cleaning ritual first hand...I was going to bring the turbo by your dad's to have him supervise another cleaning but once I sat back and thought about it I said NO WAY...I don't have that much time, lol...
Hope all is well :beer
It was for sale on HotBoat a few years ago...PappaG on the boards here bought it...I believe it sold for high 40's or very low 50's....
Ive gone for a ride in it with PappaG and all I can say is WOW.....
Did he drop the port side trim tab at 90 just to show you how stable a v hull is?
good lookin. there's schiada rc v-drive on there too, but it's a project
You've got it bad, RD!

I just like to take a look at things, and if they fit for my program well then..
Still waiting to find out about the Schiada I'm trying to buy right now. Haven't heard anything from the seller, so I'm not sure what's up?
RD
Once you're bit by the Schiada bug it is over. I didn't have a chance and I tell my dad all the time that it is his fault. He had a Schiada 21 built in '79 with a trubo motor in. That ruined me for any other boats at an early age. But I wouldn't change a thing :thumbsup
Got a link to it?
RD
Dave,

Shep here on the boards was selling it for my buddy who bought it from my old man. I know what it sold for but I wont say due to the fact he is thinking of selling it again and I don't want to throw numbers out there. If he wants he can put the number out there.
RLM, I would honestly have to look at my cashiers check again to see exactly what I paid for just the boat. I think it cost me 47-48k for the boat, registration and insurance.
Your dad did an amazing job with the the boat that is for sure...the "one off" parts and all the detail is amazing....Not to mention the Brummett built motor...just amazing.....
I am on the fence with selling it or not. I had just given it some thought and asked JG if he would be interested or if he had someone that knew the boat really well that would be interested in it. I highly doubt it will be up for public sale, don't want any lookie loo's, tire kickers and waste of time test rides.... I might just let it sit and take it out a few times a year til it becomes an antique....

I believe he wanted to get in some more seat time before he tried that stunt...I mean tried that example of how stable the V-hull is....
My feelings on that are if it is paid for and it isn't causing you any undue stress by having it...keep it. You couldn't replace the motor for what you paid for it. I have been talking to Josh about it one day he says I am going to do the next you know I dont think I'll use it enough to justify it. Personally if I wiere you I would keep it I told Josh if I was him I would buy it if it was offered to me. I would buy it If I didnt have the Schiada.
I understand you not wanting looky loos. My biggest thin is i wouldn't want it going to some yahoo that doesn't appreciate it like you, Josh or I would. You would hate to see it in a year and say "what have you done to this thing" after you sell it to them in perfect condition.
Selling a boat is a tough thing to do. Like the old saying goes...the happeist day was the day I bought my boat, the second happiest day is when I sold it"
Good luck with your decision. It looks to me that Josh picked out a good guy to sell it to.
I would hate to sell it that is for sure, even if I rarely take it out, nice to pull the covers off and just look at it so unless JG was to buy it back I highly doubt it will go up for sale for a long time......
