So who is the lucky new owner? who I think it is? :)

[Schiada Time]

Hooking her to my truck on Friday.

[dmontzsta]

Nice! Congrats Travis. Welcome to the V-Drive family. :)
Schiada is a VERY nice boat, they are built STRONG. That thing can handle the ocean chop and then go run on the river without clogging it. When is the maiden voyage?

[Schiada Time]

As soon as I purchase power, drop it in, plumb it all up, and give it a color sand and buff. Trailer is probably gonna need tires as well. I'm stoked.

ConGrats Travis :) .............What Motor are you going to be putting in it?

I delivered a King ranch F-350 to a ***boat member last night and I am hoping I dont get called into "the mans" office this afternoon for what we let it go at!!
:cool:

hehe. I wish you luck dude. I have your number in my wallet. I have been looking for someone that works for Ford, to refer people to. I just bought an Expedition last year, so I am locked in for a bit, although your F150 deal was TEMPTING! my wife talked me out of it. :)
I got a contact from a friend of a friend, so I sent my partner down to buy a new 06' Stang GT off her. I think he paid $30k out the door $27k retail. Which was pretty good. We actually went to Grody and they had them only with 20" wheels and the "bling" package. :) so he passed it up, they wanted like $38k. I wish I would have known you then. Also, Roland the Fisherman bought a actual GT from Ford or Orange, too bad you werent around for that. It would have been a score for you.
You will definately hear from me soon, my friend is going to pull the trigger on a F250 or F350, he is just really busy with his new house he is building that he has no down time to go trade his truck in and get a new one. :)

[Schiada Time]

Thanks guys! I am really excited. Have known the Spindlers for years since I was a tiny kid and grew up in A Schiada family. She is getting a good home. Now time to sell my Hallett. Anyone? Anyone?

GQ Chris- Thanks for all your leg work on the boat. I plan to color sand and buff it to bring the gel luster back, run a white tape pinstripe around the edge of the woodgrain to put a little more white back into the program, have the fiancee scrub the daylights out of the interior, drop in a fresh 502 c.i. BBC, install a fresh 3-blade prop, clean up the rudder, install some new exhaust bezels, a new steering wheel and control lever and run it! The interior is in great shape but down the line a few seasons I would like to do two traditional buckets and a bench seat in the rear. with a flat engine hatch all the way across I also plan to upgrade the audio a little (something good for crankingThe Eagles) and put a little work into the trailer. The trailer for now will probably get some old school baby moons, a re-pack on the bearings, and some fresh rubber. Eventually I would like to lift the boat off and sandblast it, re-paint it, pinstripe it with paint, re-wire it, install new lights, and put the boat back on. I am going to go polishing crazy on that rear cavitation plate. Hopefully the gauges are in good functioning shape and I can run those for a few seasons as they look original and go with the boats classic demeanor. A bimini top and custom cover are also in its future but I am getting a great start. Thanks again man.

[dmontzsta]

Sounds like a happy man here. :)
I am very happy for you Travis. I love it Schiada 21' V-Drive Cruiser would be my next purchase! :D

Hey No Problem Travis, Tony is actually one of my best friends, and I was out last year in the boat and had a blast! Tons of compliments and it was a great ride, even in the holiday chop.
The gauges all worked when I was in it last, so I wouldnt sweat that.
Yea I think a good color sand and buff will bring her back to life. We planned on doing it last year and just never had enough time!
One thing I used on my boats interior that you may try is Soft Scrub , then I use the Mr Clean Magic Erasers. Those thinsg take off the most stubborn of stains.
I think you will be pleased once a weekend of clean up is done and you see what really of a gem is hiding under there:)

[Highlimit9000]

Sold!
Not to be a rotten egg, but Tony the owner promised me he would take highest bid as he had 3 parties interested. I never got notified. Thats pretty @$%#@% up! Oh well...What did you end up gettin it for, just wondered where my bid would have been? Good luck with the New Schiada!

[Schiada Time]

Corleon- You have your Schiada. Please let me have mine without being upset you didn't get it. As for what I paid for the boat I think that is entirely my business.
