Wow, what a boat!!

Someone posted this on Dallaswake and I didn't see it here, so thought I'd share.

http://tulsa.craigslist.org/boa/609691032.html

Where can I get one of those towers

i've seen that pos on the lake we go to.

"A custom trailer with good tires and a quick release hitch for thief prevention"

Love the grammar.

Only in his wildest dreams would it be stolen!

oh wow.....

That tower has redneck written all over it. he he he And I thought the wooden one that someone posted on this site was bad... I think this one tops it.

Man, 3500 thats it??? With all those custom features? What a steal. Still better than standing on the shore though!

And 2 fire extinguishers to boot!!! ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!

amazing what you can do with and old swing set and a little ingenuity

That thing is tight. I really think the tower is the way of the future. You could put ten or twelve board racks on that thing. Not to mention tons of lights and speakers. It just needs a good wet sand.

That seriously just made my day...I was completely expecting this to be something else haha

So many 90 degree bends. Plus you get TWO fire extinguishers.

is that one of those air sling numbers??

can you say POP?

I just wanted everyone to enjoy this once more!

The tower looks the the halo thing people have to wear when they break their neck.

What's those things called you see in the back yards of homes (say in Arkansas) where they hand their wet laundry?

I am picturing a confederate flag hanging off the tower as they cruise the lake........

the transom strap sold me.

Rings, swing or trapeze bar??? So many possibilities when you throw in a keg and some boat fluff.

A closeline? That boat is worth about $1500, so i guess he is charging an extra $2000 for the custom tower.

That tower looks like it is meant to pull in various data to help predict a tornado.

LMAo.... Theft prevention.. plz

someone needs to email him the link to this thread.

Why give the guy such a hard time? Yes, I'll admit that it's not the most attractive, but maybe it's all he could afford and he's proud of it.

lol

""A custom trailer with good tires and a quick release hitch for thief prevention"

Love the grammar."

you forgot "new alternater" and "Neon light," so does it have only one neon light?

i also like that it has only one board rack,
and its blue

this is ridiculous

Granted it is not the prettiest boat in the world...and it is fun to see peoples crazy inventions...but why make fun? It gets him out on the water wakeboarding and having fun...Isn't that why we all do this?

Ridiculous is an 18 year old brat making fun of a guys boat when he doesn't even have one himself...that to me is ridiculous.

Speaking of making fun (Rick) What's wrong with Arkansas ? ASS !!! lol

He could probly hang a hammock from it to unwind from a long day of riding.

This guy is a true beauty. I love how it goes from saying it has a fresh bottom end and tune up, then to saying he has 2 fire extinguishers...PULL THE PINS!!!

And plus more? What the balls is he giving, a bbq to mount on the tower? Or wait, maybe its one of those deals where you show up and the boat is super clean....cough*. Good on yah brother!

Ah - you guys all dissapoint me. This guy took what he had and made it work for him. The true essence of this sport is riding the board - who cares whats pulling you? Ive seen four wheelers, pick ups, horses, jet skis, and all kinds of raggedy ass looking boats used to pull someone on a board.
I was in a similar situation once and created a makeshift pole in my Dads fishing boat. Guess I shoulda stayed on shore back then and wished I had the money you clowns have.

Nothing wrong with building it yourself, but i'm surprised that design didn't break teh first time out. No triangulation of any sort.

I used a little bass boat with a pylon for most of my 1st season

The truth is this is a an "elitist" sport. Anyone who has bummed a pull or ridden behind a john boat on plywood has admired and probably aspired to own any boat sponsoring this site or pictured in wakeboard magazine.

The price of boats, tow rigs, water front property, gas and more gas...if you want the "true essence" of the sport it can be found in surfing or skateboarding.

The real question is are you going to act like a dick or enjoy other's ingenuity and good times.

"The truth is this is a an "elitist" sport."

There's nothing elitist about the sport, only some of its participants.

Im with you Tim. Feet on the board is where its at - snowboard, wake, skate, surf - whatever. This guy found an economical way to make it happen with wake and people on here are giving him crap for it.
You crap slingers should all be ashamed and have the word POSER tattoed on your face.

That's why I used the quotes but your point is valid. Perhaps the term should be "expensive" particularly compared to other alternatives.

1. This guy is not on the post it was taken from craigs list.
2. You have never laughed at a gheto rig of any kind?
3. I think you take yourself a little to serious
4. I will apologize now "JESUS". Thank you for righting my moral compass and finding humur in some one elses "ingenuity"

Austin, you read my mind. Haha.

man, you guys must be the ones kidding..?

obviously that is the point of this thread, is the joke of the extremes (we) take to have fun with what we like to do. No one said anything about, well to wakeboard you need to spend 60k on a boat, not one person. Everyone is making cracks at this guys boat because we've all been there, and its fun to relate. Making a comment like the calling the sport "elitist" is ridiculous. I would like to know who died, and made you the decision maker on what wakeboarders are and are not. You make it seem like the guy that is strapped onto a peice of plywood riding behind that boat, is more "hard-core" because he didn't have money to go and buy the 60k wake-boat and a brand new $600 set up..

im getting at the fact you're calling guys out for having nice gear, and these same guys are chuckling at what other guys will do to have the same fun, yet now you turn it around on the "rich" guys because their laughing at a point in their lives they have probably experienced as well..wheres the love bra?

I guess I died when I gave up the rigged fishing boat and I resurrected with my VLX. There is a guy on my lake with a similar boat thats being made fun of here that absolutly kills it riding.
Have you ever rode a piece of plywood? Pretty hardcore in my book.
Your welcome Austin - its my goal to make people better.

No problem Ted,

Ohh by the way father Ted, Do you personaly Tattoo Peoples faces with the word Poser? I only ask because I saw someone driving down the interstate at lunch with a 6 foot ladder that was sticking out of both sides of a Toyota corrola.

I chuckled inside, and I guess I need to go get some ink done.

Ted Dreaver,

chill out man. we are just havin some fun, dont have to go cussin' us out cause we are making some jokes. It's like anything dude. When me and my buddies go to our Mustang cruise nights, we see some tuner kids roll up in a crx with huge wings n crap, and yeah we joke about it and stuff, but like its not like im walking up to the guy sayin "hey man, you car is a pos. Go get a life and some $$". I have an '85 Comp, so by all means, I never said i had cash or anything.

So next time you go calling out anyone on these forums, think about what you are saying. Chill out.

And if you want a tatoo, come meet me in Canada, ill be glad to give you one. Bring your skates.

Whatever works to get you out on the water. My first "wakeboard boat" was back in 1992..... a 1989 17' SeaRay with a Waylon extended pylon in it. Ghetto now but it got us time on the water & we enjoyed the hell out of it.

Hey Ted, there are pictures at Wiley's of early "wakeboards".... Darren & Paul standing on a piece of plywood, holding on to a rope handle. Probably from the mid 1970s.
Tony Klarich did his 40 tricks on 40 things on his 40th birthday a few years ago. He rode on anything & everything, a plywood disc, a ladder, a picnic table, a toilet seat, whatever he could get to float long enough to ride it.

Ive ridin a river flow on a board tied to a tree, thats some fun stuff right there!

Father Ted, I like it - whos your Daddy now Austin?

Wow, you have a big mouth for a Canadian, Im impressed. Kinda typical though - all talk.

Are "clown", "crap" and "poser" cuss words in Canada? Thaw out.

Man - this is the most fun Ive ever had on this site!

Like Wise TED,

Best thread ON Wake World!

Cya out there,,, However you will probaly be WALKING on the Water!

I'll be riding.

Funny stuff!

Ted, you don't need my help on this one bro you have it handled, and might I add very creative didn't know you had it in ya.

Ask Canada - anyone can walk on water if its cold enough.
Ill be riding too, behind my freakishly expensive wake boat.

love it, you can wakeboard all day and then use the tower to hoist the engine when it needs an overhaul

My first boat was pink...I'm sure there were quite a few people that got a good laugh at my expense. Nothing wrong with that IMO. Funny story while in a bar on Havasu. Having a conversation with a girl and started talking about boats. She says "all of these guys with big expensive boats are trying to over compensate for something" and my response was "did I mention that my boat is a 10 year old boat that's pink...and I'm fine that"

I think this boat is actually nicer than the one I learned to ride behind...

I wonder if i could get the blueprint for that tower so i can put it on my I/O.

Oh Ted you are a quick one. Almost too quick for us Canadians. Get this man a nice cold beer for that one, make sure it goes in ice.......yeah, guess that wont happen.

And as for your "makeshift pole", was that used for wakeboarding? Just if you ask me, ..well..seems a little...'fishy'. haha. Clever, correct?

the saddest part about that boat is that someone out there got onto craigslist and found that boat and said to themselves "oh my god, that boat is sick, i want it!" i wonder what that guy tows that boat with

Mike B- (you can wakeboard all day and then use the tower to hoist the engine when it needs an overhaul)
that is hilarious

"Neon light, 2 fire ext. plus much more. As is Asking $3,500 "
what is the plus much more? a lifevest made out of styrofoam? a rope made out of 50 strands of twine? it prolly has a ghetto blaster as a marine stereo

Ted, you could have thrown in an A, A.
O.K. A
How you doing A
Pretty good A
It's how they talk A

Hey Canada - Im back. Looking forward to a great day conversing.
Picture this son - The pole was seven feet high, the boat was ugly, but that Kentucky sunshine was kickin and the lake was flat. Music was rockin, drinks were flowin, and the ladies were stripping on the pole. Man, I tell ya this is the best sport in the world.
A.

Ted tell about how you use to pull the plug and let the boat fill up with water for ballast A.

Yep, we would fill the hull up with water by pulling the plug - wake shaped right up and gas went right down. I must say the new fangled switches on my freakishly expensive boat work much better...
A.

OHHHH BUDDY that sounds like a grand time! But you guys have to keep it out of the family with the ladies/strippers because that is just rude and down right strange.

Now common guys, don't they teach you better grammar down there? Oh no EH.

Glad to hear you are having a wonderful day. What the heck, I didnt say put the plug back in.

I think you have enough issues in the US without taking a run at Canadians. Check out your military mess, your trillion dollar budget, Hillary Clinton drinking Canadian whiskey, your housing market and your economy. You don't want to get into a war of words with Canadians - you guys are a target rich group. I chuckle at some of the posts on this site with guys wondering if it's "safe" to deal with Canadians buying boats. Take a geography lesson folks.

For owning expensive boats, some of you spend a LOT of time behind the computer.

Take Off Hoser

I thought it was 'Poser'????????

---Way Off Topic---
I have a question for the Canadians posting on this thread have you guys watched "Strange Brew" ?

Nah I think if you're in Canada it's Hoser

I like the term Ted has coined, "freakishly expensive" and I will try to incorporate that phrase into everyday conversation. If your waiter says, "Here is your freakishly expensive bar tab", you know it's me.

Yes, we like to fight, spend money and we like our female senators to drink whisky and allow their presidential husbands to get BJs from their girfriends. We at least emulate men down here - not the French.
Um, Its cold in Canada.
Id buy a boat from a Canadian - I love you guys! I spent some time in Kitchner / Waterloo during Halloween last year. The stripper came out on the stage on her hands - naked. Awesome. You guys have that indoor stuff figured out! Confusing part was how to give her a dollar when your small bills are all coins...
Eh then.

Fro-Z - gotta get paid to afford the boat son. I am leaving shortly to ride this afternoon though...
Hoser - get it right man - its Poser.

no no. It is Hoser. Ive got a video you all are going to love. YA friggen HOSER.

Dude that is F-ing hilarious

This post was filmed in 3-B. 3 beers and it's pretty good, eh?

Canada, a country so great its head of state doesn't want to live there and its largest (area-wise) province continually tries to become its own sovereign nation (with only 50.6% voting against sovereignty in the last referendum on the subject). Take off, Hoser.

"Jelly DoNut Coming "

Speaking of Canadian alcohol, do you guy's know the difference between a urine sample and Canadian beer, none they both taste exactly the same.

As far as the US goes I know its fu$#ed up which is why I fit right in!

Graham and a few of you others seem to be getting a little defensive. What happen to "chill out man we are just having some fun" comment you made above. I can make fun of myself just as well.

Sorry Ted I have to do it, I know you have heard it a million times but here is 1,000,001.

When I was in about the third grade I asked my dad if he could hurry up and make me a sister so I could have a date for the prom. He replied what's wrong with the one you got now. I said dad I don't want to take mom thats embarrassing...

Oh you guys are your love for Canada. If I was from Quebec I would be worrying, but, not my territory.

blame canada.

I like me some Molson beer

Well who knows if this has gone to far, its some entertainment. If someone wants to make a joke about me, sure, whatever you wanna do to put a grin on your face.

Most likely it has cause its a waste of my time yak'n at someone who was a freakishly expensive wake boat. Movin on to another thread boys.

Duffy is obviously not a beer drinker
To understand Canadians you have to grasp a few things.
1) There are only eight teams in our professional football league and two of them are named Roughriders. And we think that's OK.
2) Our currency is named after a loon and we've spent most of the time figuring that $1.00 was worth $0.80. We haven't gotten around to figuring out any problems with that either.
3) Our government is so on top of things that the law requires that French be on all labelling but they never got around to requiring English on labelling.
4) Eh is not spelled with an 'A' so 'Canada' should really be spelled C Eh N Eh D Eh. We just haven't gotten around to it.
5) Hockey is a much better sport than Basketball. We did get around to that.

I love Canada if it wasn't so damn cold up there I'd already be living there and I swear if Hillary Clinton becomes President my ass will be up there in a heart beat

budday, plenty of lakes in muskoka ready for you to rip up. Ever been in the area?
