Funny "TLC needed" boat ads on Craigslist.

I am used to seeing descriptions that claim the trailer alone is worth the asking price. In this case it is true.

I don't know about that. He'd have to pay me to drag that junk away.

No Leaks!

You can tell by the way the rain water stays inside the hull!

[h=2]1978 18' Hydrodyne X ski jump boat[/h] Would like to see someone restore this one. Lots of odd things going on in the photos though.

It might be worth 500 with the outdrive and motor. But he wants it removed? Why two speedometers? Interesting boat though.

Why two speedometers?

Because ones not enough and 3's too many :lol:

 

[GA_Boater]

One speedo is MPH and the other is KPH because the boat was used for International competition. Too easy! LOL

nope, both are MPH

 

[jbcurt00]

Needing to hit a specific mph w a towed skier headed to a jump, I'd bet its redundancy having 2 speedos to make sure the skier gets the right mph to perform whatever jump

 

[gm280]

Maybe there are two because when somebody says their boat can do 40MPH, he can say my boat can do twice that... :facepalm:

 

[southkogs]

Why two speedometers?

Holdover from older competition tow boats ... two dials means one always worked, and (in theory) you were able to keep a more constant speed pass vs. pass. I've heard some say it was to make sure you got good speed readings in turns, but I don't know how well that worked.

 

[GA_Boater]

nope, both are MPH

We're never serious in the thread, ya know. LOL

I have figured that out over the past year or two, but this time I figured you just might be serious and KPH and MPH for a international ski boat make sense to me, two sppedo in MPH do not. I thought at first two might be more accurate but then no, one could be out as much as the other. I would think once you figured out how far out you were.... I don't know. It is an interesting boat.

Good condition for someone wanting to doing a lot of work on it...

"Tri Haul in good working condition"

Yah ok...

Good condition, other than where the tree fell on it and the motor not running.

I think by "tri haul" he means that there are three things which need to be hauled to the dump.

 

[redneck joe]
