Boat to give 14 years 9 months ago #1952
|
It's not pretty but it floats fine, the floor is solid, not sure of the transom but the boat is still usable. When I got it the gel coat was already spider webbed but I shined it up. I replaced a section of the sole and confirmed the stringer was good back then. I have owned it for 30 years and will finally retire it as I got a bigger boat for the family and the motor went bad for the third time or so and I am done working on it. It is a 15' tri hull walk thru windshield. It will be stripped of most everything and will not include the trailer. It is titled as a 1969 Flagship and has current Texas tags and I have the title in my name and am willing to transfer it at your cost. It seems someone told me once it was a Chrysler boat. I don't know if it is worth the taking or not just thought I would offer. I will try to post pictures if anyone is interested. I am in Houston.

Kayfry, that's very generous and commendable in my opinion! You may want to post pics of the boat, motor (possible parts donor), and trailer and make whoever wants any part take the whole thing if your goal is to just "unload it out of your yard". I'm sure someone on here will be more than happy to take you up on your offer, there are quite a few people from your area!

Nutting wrong with Houston....Texas, well other than the dividing line between Dallas...Fort worth and Houston as gotten to be a little blurry....
now for a guy like me who has gotten a nick name..."Houston" it a rather funny thing to hear someone say....sometimes... see I got the nickname when I was trucking...when ever someone got into an issue they would either call me or knock on my truck... and every time I was like god do I have all the answers to everything someone thinks i am a rocket scientist...I should work for NASA...well somehow one thing lead to another and the name stuck.  |

Ron - As soon as I saw the photo of your Manta Ray I thought she is really plowing water, which may be part of the water over the transom problem. The way that boat should present is bow high. Check out the attached.

My first thought was similar, need to trim her up a notch or two Ron. But the post right below about "pichers" blew me away so bad I forgot................

But totally different Ron...in the second picture you've got no rpm going. That first photo tells me you're bow heavy. You should have that same presentation at full throttle.

Ron, have you got power T/T, or manual like mine? Pic when "plowing" = 2 people in boat, pic when properly planed = 1 person in boat! Next time you have a passenger, just try moving the trim pin up a notch or two, may have to experiment a little. I finally figured out to watch the spray coming out the sides while underway. My Cutter is a deep V hull, and if the spray is ahead (fore) of where I'm sitting, I'm plowing. When properly trimmed it comes out half way between my position and the stern.
You know those Jersey girls sometimes need a little extra attention, but well worth the effort!  |

I have not had a chance to take pictures but will try to post some this weekend. My opinion is that this boat is not worth hauling away. My apologies if I misrepresented it, looking back at the wording one might think the motor is included. It will be the hull only, less trailer and motor and most everything else I might be able to use or sell.
I would be lucky to get a couple of hundred dollars for it on the trailer with the motor in Houston and is why I will part it out. I am not in to old boats (cars yes boats no) and thought if someone was looking for a project hull this might do. Hate to do it but if it comes down to paying to get it gone, I will break out the coveralls and skill saw and put it to the curb piece by piece. No problem on the thread in fact thanks for keeping it going. |

mark, no power trim. will try pin settings again in june with 2 sandbags in the bow to maybe stop the porpoising. the 700 sits too low below the tunnel and can't be raised without transom modification. i'm a hands off guy so it will probably remain that way. not concerned about speed as i was a few years ago...just want a smooth, comfortable ride. nj ron

Kayfry, I appreciate your kind attitude, good luck getting rid of the old hull. Hopefully someone will come and get it to save you the hard work, but proud to hear you're up for the task anyway.
Ron, I see what you mean now. That pic really shows the situation better. I'm with you on the cruisin' mode, blasting across the lake now only comes in very short bursts. Love the look you've got going on the boat, I think it looks good. As long as it puts a smile on your face, that's all that counts. |

Hey guys. Good to see you guys out here supporting the cause.
Im a newbie to this forum. Ive got a couple of boats that i am beginning restoration on and thought this looked like a nice home for the duration of the projects. I am also here in houston and have a buddy of mine who is very interested in taking this trailer-less, motor-less boat off of your hands. How should i get in contact with you, as we may come take a look this weekend if you are available? Well, you guys have a great weekend! If you're in houston, its lookin to be a great weekend weather-wise to get out and get some things accomplished. I guess i'll leave with that thought, and i am off to the fiberglass threads- i will be doing my first phase of fiberglass patching on my 1977 Phantom trihull fiberglass floorboard. If anyone wants to give me some pointers, i will be in the other thread. |

I hear ya Houston, I'm still having bad dreams about watching the shreader eat those classics. I know we can't save 'em all but....
The blown appendix explains why you were grimacing and grinning at the same time in that pic! JK, we couldn't see your face.I'm sure Ron would appreciate it. Please tell him we want some pics if he's got any.  |

Oh the wasp sting inside my lower lip...yea my luck!
hehe, I am one of the few who can say they removed there own appendix...not so much in a traditional way either. as far as the Numbers...I don't remember who's numbers where what...but I do remember what boats have showed up with O/O/D registration at silver, maybe we should make a award for the most O/O/D registration, I remember the grand prize winner if there could be one sitting at the dock when the sheriff patrol showed up to take a scoot to the bathroom and walk the grounds looking at the boats...meanwhile I sat on the bow draping my legs over the O/O/D numbers for he wouldn't see them.  |

yup that would be the Einstein that thought it would look pretty there!
if any one is concerned about the wasp, it wasn't pretty and he did give up a good fight right before I swallowed him. |

You know, it wasn't my first taste of CC Ray's, the bug bit me about 15 years before that, but it was my first time out in one.
It was also the first time that an almost total stranger let me take his valuable classic boat out alone. I know you said you had it insured, but I'll never forget that. |
