Re: Boat builder ripoffs.
No, he's right. If you aren't driving away with a boat in your rearview, you shouldn't be paying 100%. If the shoe fits, wear it but don't be offended. It is what it is. I'm not saying 100%. But why would a builder invest a large amount of money in an order and possibly get stuck with it? A builder...

Re: Boat builder ripoffs.
I don't feel sorry 1 bit for these people that get screwed over. If you are that damn stupid not to do some research before handing over your money or paying for a boat 100% up front then you got what's coming to you. Your a dumb ass and deserve it! Quit being a cheap ass and looking for the cheape...

Re: Boat builder ripoffs.
Like Tony said on another thread a builder who wants 100% payment up front ought to be avoided. No one should pay any more than 50% for a deposit in my opinion. To order a boat, make full payment and be waiting a year or more is not a reasonable situation. If someone claims to make 12 boats a year ...

I don't know there a popular food duck. I do know people say wild hogs are no good they just don't know how to process them and cook them. Now I never eaten them But maybe you just don't like duck. Ducks are not my favorite there edible but Doves quale snipe there good. So maybe you like the Limpki...

Re: Polishing Airboats
Steve; I don't have to worry about polishing MY boat. I just crank it up each Friday evening and run it through the saw grass before heading into town for a "MAN'S NIGHT IN". Besides, the ladies that I pick up are blind in one eye and can't see out of the other. They are hard of hearing and are glad...

OMG, I think that the Limpkins are back
As I wrap up my night, I hear the cry of what I think is a Limpkin. They never shut up. It seems early for them but :slap: . Did some one say that they are good eating? I can't count on that. Some one said that the Muscovy Ducks were good eating. BS. I tried them 40 years ago and they are no better ...

Gerald, we spoke a couple months ago when we rode out at Mack's Fish Camp, and when I asked how the new boat was coming, you voiced your displeasure. The way it went down is a tough pill for anyone to swallow. Only thing I can say is once John and your friend get the bugs worked out, you will have ...

Re: Don Davis will build me a boat
Moving the front mount over 1/2 " did not work. My friend came to camp from Homestead twice and we were not able to "patch" the problem. I had 2 plates here that Billy Kline had cut out for me for repairs to my frog boat. They are 5x8". I bent a 45 degree angle tab and bolted them to my rudders. A f...

A friend (he prefers not to be mentioned) of John and me, came to camp today to pin point the problem with the steering. After carefull plumb bobbing, leveling and measuring, we feel that the engine stand is more than 1/2" out of kilter. John wants to attempt to correct it by modifying the front eng...

I"ve been busy but now have time. First off, the hull is great. The cage great. The rudder and rake is good. But that is where it stopped.
