For Sale - Ultra Shadow Cat - $32K
Well, the wife has agreed to a larger boat, so I'm now in the initial stages of marketing the boat. I've had a ton of fun with the boat and I've spared no expense creating it. This is an excellent hot rod that has never seen the drag strip (much to the dismay of my engine builder), and had been only used with my family. You can even keep up on Poker Runs with the other boats without a problem. This is a truly turnkey boat that I had built with only one idea - reliability and low maintenance. It has lived up to this and performed beyond anything I had hoped for.

Dirk where are the bridge to bridge pics?

I'll post them later this evening. Lots of great shots. I believe I came in the top quartile of top speeds. Dangerous as hell trying to make the turn at hi-speed under the second bridge! :jawdrop:

Very nice....I love your boat. TTT

Sweet ride. I think this is a video I shot of your boat at Hookie Day.

Folks, I've had a few peeps interested in just the motor. I can prove with receipts there is over $35K invested in parts and labor into this engine. I even spoke with Dave about the worth of the engine and what I could expect to sell it for. It turns out Dave recommended 60-65 cents on the dollar to be realistic.. I'm ok with that. At 60cents on the dollar, this is $21,875.
I will sell this engine for NO LESS than $20K.
That's my bottom offer, and this is more than a fair price. Talk to others on the forums that have DNE engines and what they expected initially to pay for it, and what they actually did pay for it.
Remember, only 38 hours on the engine There are plenty of folks on the boards that have seen this engine perform and know that it is 100% bullet proof as is all DNE engines.

Hay where are the videos from cat attack......

So your saying that engine was 35k to build. Or after fixing someone elses problems it cost you 35k.

What the hell is your deal? I don't understand you, and why you are attacking this. If you don't want it, then don't buy it. Go disparage someone else.
I had an original engine that came with the boat, and yes I had problems with it immediately. Seller owned up and gave me a partial refund. Then I scrapped the whole thing and started from scratch with Dave Ebbert.
-
This boat looks very similar to one my friend Mike used to have in Elcajon Ca. Nice Boat! :D
-
Not attacking you just clearing things up alittle. Your trying to say its a smokin deal because you spent 35k on the motor. The truth is its a 22to25k motor with 38hours on it. 60 to 65 percent puts that motor in the 14 to 16 range. Thats all I'm saying.
I'm done good luck with your sale!
You don't always get out what you put in.:)

Please stop disparaging this engine. The fact still remains that I do have receipts for parts and DNE labor that add up to over $35K. Your personal opinion and valuation means nothing in the face of such documentation.
I'm disappointed you would continue to pollute this ad with such comments as a result of your offer being declined.
This certainly sounds like a case of "sour grapes" to me.
-
No sour grapes here,your just a little upset that i cleared things up alittle for some potential buyers.
This is a great motor no doubt,just over priced in my opinion which doesn't count.
Have a great day and may you enjoy many more summers with this motor!:)

Yeah, you're a real saint. Thanks for helping to facilitate.
Opinions are held by all, and the only thing that matters at the end of the day are hard facts.
This entire discussion regarding "worth" belongs in the "benchracers" section, and I will not entertain any further discussion with you on this.

i was at westech the day the motor was dynoed and spent a day with dave installing the motor.the motor is no bs-except for some minor jetting and timing changes on dyno day it ran all day no problems and has ran in the boat no problems.it was dynoed on 91 octane pump gas.if you spend money wth dave you are also paying for his service-he backs up his work.you can get a copy of national dragster and whip out a visa card and get a bbc motor shipped to your house.but when you blow it up because you were running lean or your tanks didnt have enough fuel flow that crate engine builder will tell you where to put your new f%^ked up motor.if somebody is smart enough to build a bbc in their garage then they can save some money and do it themselves.diggler wanted to have something that runs with out problems so he bellied up and paid to have the boat done by a pro.as far as what it is worth-its worth whatever he can sell it for.he might have a markiting problem on his hands but i am sure he knows this .we should all wish him good luck.
-
Bump for a bad azz boat. I wish my wife wanted a boat without covered motor, and taller sides. She wants to sit in the boat not on it. Good luck with the sell. :(
-
Thanks for the props folks. TTT

Sofa makes some great points; anybody looking at this thing is going to compare to other tunnel jets; i've seen numerous sales in the $15-$25M range the past 6 months. Put it on Boat Trader or the paper if you don't want opinions. Cheers
-
HEY SOFA KING! Get off this guys back. I dont care if the motor is only worth 5k in your eyes. The boat is a killer deal. Ive thought about buying it myself. You will not find a cleaner/faster small cat for this price.
Diggler, just ignore this guy! For some reason a bunch of wanna be's feel the need to come on here and talk crap. Good luck with the sale man. oh and were do you boat at?
-
Dumbandyoung pipe down,i've have not said shit in a week. I own 2 of Daves motors so i know what they cost to build. Never said the boat was over priced just the motor.
Its just my opinion which doesn't mean shit.
If it is such a good deal then buy it dumbandyoung. Atleast you seem to fit your screen name.
