Is this a good deal?

[FLATHEAD]

Saw this and thought I might bid. What do you boat experts think. Looks like a good solid rig.<br /><br />http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=26432&item=2450501898

Looks like something I'd be expected to show up to the 2004 Iboats get together with... I wonder if they'd take a check

I don't have an ebay account - will someone make a bid for me?

Hey, let's pitch in an buy it. We can make money from it by turning it into:<br /><br />* a floating Al Qaeda prison (Gitmo is filling up). We can rent it out to the US and keep it in international waters <br /><br />* a floating casino off the East Coast<br /><br />* take pictures of presidential candidates landing on it in flight suits<br /><br />Other uses?

I think it's underpowered.<br /><br />Hmmmm, what size "kicker" does one put on that thing? I think I'd opt for the 15 over a 9.9. Me also thinks it would to be one of "Bigfoot" models.<br /><br />Is there a 15 that burns bunker oil? Or, is this thing a nuke?

Hey Ralph, I don't think I can sell enough on ebay to pay for my part.

Re: Is this a good deal?

I went and tested it for you guys. I think it's either under-powered or not propped right. For some reason, It didn't want to get up on plane. We even told junior and maw to wait back at the dock. Once they got off, it went about 5 knots faster, but still didn't want to plane out. LOL.

Last I looked at that deck boat bidding was at $999,999,999.00--now fleabay come up as invalid item. <br /><br />--wonder why seller did not have a "buy it now" feature.
