Butch 194 #2 Posted July 22, 2010 Should've known you had another garage filled with toys that you can't drive all at one! Where's the ski ramp and a pic of you going over it? Is this the place that has become a big hot spot for retirees and summer homes or am I thinking about some place in Arkansas? Butch S. Jersey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rickv1957 74 #17 Posted July 23, 2010 Very nice floatin garage Rick. I'm curious, what type boat is third from the left? Ken,that is a 96 Taylor 20' jet that my wife and I had custom built with a 454mag-385 hp,it has sure been a good one!,will get a few more pictures,Rick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken B 3,189 #18 Posted July 23, 2010 I would love too see some pics. I was hoping it was a jet boat, gotta love the rumble. Taylor made a good one. My neighbor when I was a kid (over 30 yrs. ago) had a Nordic jet with a Ford 427 in it, he towed it with a mint 68 Shelby GT 500 KR. Boat was sold many moons ago but he still has the Shelby. Boy was that boat wicked fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimD 3,347 #19 Posted July 23, 2010 For once I can say something besides, Nice Tractor. Nice Boats! Shh, guys don't tell him they're not red. He's color blind. Those are some real beauties Rick. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butch 194 #20 Posted July 23, 2010 We have some awfully nice yachts and speedboats here on the east coast. The reason I would never own a boat here? Salt water and barnacles. I would love to own a place on the 1000 Islands in upstate NY and have a boat. Salt water and barnacles are a real PITA! Butch S. Jersey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoppy 0 #21 Posted July 23, 2010 salt water and barnicles are only a pain in the ass if you leave it in all season. even then if you clean it like you should at the end of every year they shouldnt be to bad of a problem. nice boats! hope that is a big lake you have them on. most lakes in CT cant really handle boats that big. unless you like going 60 for 20 seconds before you have to turn around.

Lake of the Ozarks is 92 miles long on main channel with 1700+ miles of shoreline,lots of room! ,Rick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Towing a boat or even calling ahead for a marina to drop it in isn't appealing to me. If I wanna go down and sit on it to BS or take it out at 3AM I don't wanna have to make plans to do it. Many around here who trailer their boats do so because of the $2000 and up fee to dock them. Plus the bays are very crowded and fatality prone. But the St Lawrence River is by far the nicest body of fresh water I have ever seen. Butch S. Jersey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clintonnut 126 #24 Posted July 23, 2010 Does the big twin 496 boat have a sleeping cabin up front? What brand are the 496s MOPAR, CHEVY or FORD? I know you can get stroked 440 mopars in that size Charlie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
