I am not quite sure why you are directing your comments and questions to me in your last post but I will do my best to respond.
"Ray, I understand on a performance level, but I really don`t care how fast I am. I already know that I`m in the 70`s. That`s fine with me. I`m never gonna be the baddest, learned it from cars, always someone will beat you! I just wanna relax, look cool, have a good time, and want my boat to turn heads like a MOTHER! Get the point?"
Finally a question! Yes I do get the point. In fact I have a 24 year old son that image is everything to as well. I figure some day he will outgrow it, you probably will too.
"If I wanted to kick ass here in LA, I`d a bought a bass boat and converted it to a light weight haul ass missle. I like my beeers, and so do all my friends."
I totally agree for a lot less money you could have a bass boat going much faster. I also think it would be a bore I never have cared for the sounds of a 2 stroke myself. Had I built a fast bass boat my only thoughts would be "Just think I coulda had a V-8".
"I don`t want to pull up at the launch and worry about scrathes and driving a big ass offshore rig home. Hell, I had a good day and want to sleep!"
I personally wouldn't want a boat bigger than the 21 footer I have now. Sounds like your having a few of those beeers and a very good day perhaps you should go to sleep.
"I live in the real world, not BS, v-drives are a lot of work, especially on a circuit! Don`t try and tell me different."
I am not sure if you are trying to infer here that I am full of BS or not, you will have to explain this further. The last V-drive I owned was hardly any work at all. I loved the old hot rod and it was a real head turner too. The family did not fit in it to well, at the time with 3 babies it was hard for the wife and I to hang on to all 3 at once. As far as trying to "tell you anything" I would not even pretend to be that bold. I don't tell anybody anything on these forums. I try to share my knowledge and experiance when I feel it might apply to someones search for information. Take it or leave it that is up to you or whomever I offered advice to.
"I use to run cars, that were
street legal. If you can`t show it off then it ain`t worth havin`."
There are lots of things in this life worth having and I have never felt the need to show them off. I have always felt that if you do something good enough others will brag for you. I get more pleasure from this. Somehow it seems to mean more.
"That`s it."
This seems to be your closure. I read into this you have finally gotten something off your chest and feel better now? I am glad for you. Tell me something did I do something to you in another life? I reviewed this topic and nowhere do I even see where I referred to you or commented to you in any form. Yet you dedicated your entire post to me.
