I just messing with ya,I sure wish I still had my taylor,and I'm probably gonna buy another one!
Ya GOT me :) I really didn't mean to knock any motor combination. I fooled with Chevy since the early 60's in hot rods and muscle cars. Just seems like it's cheeper to get the parts to make a chevy go fast. If I can get this Olds to get into the 70's were jet skies and bass boats don't blow me away I'll be happy. I don't have the money to be FAST, just want to be respected and left alone. kinda wanna be real pretty,look real fast, even on the trailer. :rollside:
I LIVE IN HUGO,OKLA. @ 70MILES FROM THE BORDER WITH ARK..
NOONE WALKS ON MY BOW NOW!!!I'M SURE NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN , BUT I SPENT LAST SPRING REPAINTING AND GOING TO SPEND THIS SPRING FINISHING IT.
STRESS CRACKS HAPPEN.THE NICEST BOATS IN THE NATION HAVE CRACKS SOMEWHERE.MAYBE YOU CAN MAKE THE TAYLOR JET BOAT MEET AT BROKEN BOW LAKE THIS SEASON.IT'S NOT TO FAR FROM YA.LOTS OF DRAGBOATS THERE!ALOT OF GOOD PEOPLE TOO.
Sure sounds like fun. If I can ever get this skiff to look decient enough to come bum with ya'll I'll surely take ya up on it. What size is your 78Taylor. Have any pictures of it?
Easy fella, my SJ with an Olds is knocking on 70 mph.
I bid on a real pretty blue with white trim Taylor located in Lafayette back in Aug I think. Did you by any chance know the boat?
