We had a Bayliner growing up…it was a good boat…
some nice boats on here :tup:
bracketracer, my uncle has a big ass pontoon boat. that thing is awesome for just cruising around and sitting back on the lake. whenever we go somewhere for food or to the state park, if theres no dock space no big deal. can beach the thing right at the shore line with the aluminum pontoons.
heres my pile. been sitting in the barn for winter, but as soon as its warm enough to work with fiberglass ill be getting it out and getting to work. i figure 2-3 weeks and then it gets sent over to my buddy’s shop to be painted. currently a orange metalflake with a woodgrain deck, looks almost brown in some light though. it will be painted white and orange like a creamsicle and a white interior.
‘77 18’ wriedt stinger. big block chevy, berkley jetdrive. left hand drive, and a gas pedal. lots of rooster tails
the boat was originally named “blood, sweat & nitrous” as it had a nitrous injected bbf that pushed it about 80mph before. ive decided to keep the name after talking with my supersticious friend that used to be on a hydroplane boat team that saw alot of boats get smashed up, many which names were changed on lol.
a couple ads i found from back in the day:
a couple examples of what a restored version of my boat looks like:
that thing looks like a death trap. I approve lol :tup:
Nothing but boat talk here. I am dissapoint.

beerfry sounds appropriate.
LameFry?
Indeed. Though I’ve been drinking a ton less beer lately. WhiskeyFry :tup:

:tup: to more vintage jet drives. i discovered theres another one at a house around the corner from me…gotta stop by there when i see the guy outside to talk to him lol.
ive been hooked on these things ever since i went on my friend andy’s boat. it wasnt even a month and i picked up mine haha
If you guys aren’t aware of the local poker run down at templeton landing in August, you should check it out. I had s booth next to them at the boat show and they were awesome guys.
I still want a jetski, but it’s not high on my priorities list.
Cant wait to get out on the water this year too! Got the party boat, my seadoo, and my good friends speed boat! And a pic of my wakeboard boat i sold last year… and a pic of what our 2 slips used to look like lol.

<3 the Sundancer.
jetskis are pretty fun but you really need to have a couple for it to be worth it…my uncle has a couple, always way more fun when we have both of them out…can be out there for hours roosting each other and racing across the lake…if im just out there on my own, after about an hour im back at the dock and wanting to hang out on the boat instead.
I think it’s a Thompson Sidewinder, at least the sidewinder part I’m sure about. Has a 455 olds with ported and polished heads. Cam sounds pretty good too but my dad thinks he decammed it for what the impellor is.
I want a vintage jetboat
My dads looked and probably sounds just like this minus my dad had tan interior but it needs to be complete redone.
