It's Just Money....

...so, you have a 52' Statement tunnel hull built.
Rig her up with twin turbines and some nice Merc tricked out outdrives...
Get that killer paint job you have always wanted...
Get her all broken in (drives) and are ready to go....
Hit the water and light her up to see what she will do speed wise with your friends...


......after she pitches a driveshaft inside the engine compartment, that busts the fuel lines, that due to the turbine engine makes that JP5 go boom...you remember that you can't get insurance on a boat with turbine engines!!

[Curmudgeon]

Ouch! That's gotta hurt.

[Cuda340]

...another shot.

You are all about raggin on those rich guys with bad luck huh Rocky? I'm not into that kind of extravagance and don't think I ever would be even if it had the option (hah!). None the less, I can feel for a guy who loses one of his favorite toys. Done a few stupid things in my time

that sucks, big time

....SAY WHAT?? "Raggin on those Rich Guys with bad luck"??? Where in the heck did that come from?
I feel for their loss just as much as the next guy.

Just have more sense!!

Gotcha. You are expressing your sympathy by posting pics of their mishaps over the internet along with snide remarks. My apologies, I misunderstood you. Where are you finding these things anyways?

....no "snide remarks" here. Just making the point that there aren't any insurance companies that will insure a boat that uses turbine engines for power.

....just a few days ago another person I know lost one of his 2.4 Merc 280's and flipped his boat. He and his Wife were not injured. Guess I'll catch heck about this pic as well.....

[dbarham]

Them Florida people !!

[Cuda340]

Them Florida people !!

..."true 'dat"! And get this, they were only running at 60 or so when the starboard engine "86'd" the boat. It will be back on the water next week.

Riiiigggt.

Not catching heck. Just thinking a feller as long in the tooth should have better things to do than regurgitate internet pics of the follies of complete strangers who aren't even local. Don't you have some pecan wood to be cuttin' up at your mom's place?

Carry on.

That looks like a certain bayou I know. No Barham it's not the diversionary.
