TSUNAMI//PULLING THE TRIGGER

[strick]

Cool thred!

I'm glad you got your dream boat. The Tsunami has a great layout. I dont know if you remember but a year or so ago there was one that was for sale up in the north east that was yellow and had a diesel. The engine was jack shafted so the engine box was in the center of the deck like yours. The boat also had a killer hard top. If you could copy that boat you would be styling.

I've had a few llamas spit at me also and usually right before they spit you can hear them start to hack it up...thats when it's time to get out of the way! Did you hit it when yo spat back? [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Jim..I am pretty sure it is a 350 GM block with omc risers.(sort of pieced together)..from other members on this site and other help on other discussion boards. I have to check paperwork..which is a ton!!! to see if I can find any additional information..and identifying #s on block etc here is a shot of the stern..reminds me of Strick's twenty with the nice arch in the transom!!!!
Plenty of work to do..but again just want to get it running!!


Strick...several of my friends are veterinarians..like you...and I ride along with them some weekends...not as frequent now!!!.and after a long stint in my other gov position(too long for my taste..think I still have repurcussions of PTSD!!) ...I finally utilized part of my education and made lateral move into government agricultural appraising... so plenty of exposure...plus the guys I deal with are good people..and I can pick up side work building pole bldgs etc for them...so I feel at home.

Fred, just bring that boy up to the SeaCraft rehab facility
at area 442...
We will knock it out in no time..
What the heck two at once would be no big deal.

See ya, Ken

Yah, Ken,
When the sand paper wears out on one, you can wear it out some more on the other!!!!

Half seriously, if you guys could co-ordinate on the colors, you could probably reduce the work by setting up spraying/painting with one set up/clean up, etc.

[fdheld34]

BigLew good idea...!!!!
Hey Ken..when do we pick our colors... ..might be a while... but Ill haul it up and we can shoot both at the same time...or roll and tip until our arms fall off. [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Fred, I was 23, unmarried, out of prison less than 9 months, and the owner of the marina where I worked (who owned the boat) payed me my normal weekly salary to go on a fishing and diving trip with him and his friends. This was because I had my 100 ton Ocean Operator license and Rescue Diver certification, and had navigated to, through, and from the Bahamas with my grandfather since I was 10.

So not only was it an all expense free trip to the Bahamas, but I was getting paid to do it as well.

What was I gonna do? Tell my boss "no"? Are you kidding?
Even my parole officer thought it was a great deal when I asked for a travel permit.

Fr. Frank,

Remind me to tell you the story of the priest, the minister and the rabbi going fishing one day. You'll love it!

yeah fred that boat was on andrews street for a while. i always looked at it and wondered if he was going to sell it or finish it. then one day it was just gone so i figured he moved. glad to see it moved to your house. on a side note i have a question? was seacraft sued over the design of the jackshafted hull. my dad seems to remeber seacraft getting sued cause the hull was a infringment on someone elses design. dont mean to hijack thread just wondering.
