You won't believe how my restoration has ended.

[Grandorleans]

Well all my hard work and money has been spent for nothing. Last night at 1:15 am a HUGE oak tree crashed into my baby. The body in really bad shape. I do however have a couple bright spots. I can put numerous items up for sale to recoup my loss. So if any of you have any requests let me hear em, and I'll check if its salvagable. Heres a quick list of items that I know are in great shape. New strut. oil cooler, bimini, boat cover, rudder, gas tank, prop, & many engine components (just ask). I just got a new prop shaft, but will try return it to skidim.com. There is a lot more, I will add to the list as we get the debris off and I inspect it better. I guess someone was trying to tell me not to take this boat out on the water. Oh well, on to the next project... feel free to email me any requests. [email protected]
And thanks to all for the great advice over the last 4 months. The restoration was almost a great success.
fyi.. its an 87 comp ts6m

GO...

my sincere condolences, hate to see an old supra go out like that. there's a guy on iboats that the exact same thing happened to.

that must have been from the thunderstorms that moved thru? it came through austin friday. it brought lake travis up a foot or more.

i hope your insurance helps out. are you going boat shopping?...great time to be a buyer

[tg0824SSVGG]

oh, man ... I am SOO sorry - that stinks

[Blackntan90]

Very sorry for your loss. My sincere condolences. What a sad time for all of us...

[csuggs]

I don't know what to say - I've read your threads and was interested in your progress. Too bad that happened after you got "attached". Like someone said though, great time to be a buyer.

Yikes, that sucks! Hopefully the insurance will take good care of you. I'm sure that won't compensate for your time, though.

I might be interested in buying a pitot off you. When I was working on buffing this weekend I broke the tube plastice portion where the tube connects. I'm trying to reattach it with some super glue or epoxy, but if that doesn't work I'd like to get a new one so both speedos work.

Everything happens for a reason, at least thats what I believe... what a great time to go out and purchase a newer or brand new Supra. There are some fantastic deals right now. I would have never thought about buying my boat a couple years ago at $60-65k, this market is allowing the average joe to get into some sweet boats. I was able to save about 30% off the msrp.

Keep an eye out there are some fantastic deals out there! If you are interested, the dealer by my house has a 2008 Sunsport 24V fully loaded (Rad-a-cage, Z5 cargo rack, upgraded sound system, heater, perfect pass pro, 340 HP indmar, gravity III ballast system, etc...) for $43k. The color is white/blue/grey, a really nice boat.

Best of luck.... and sorry for your loss.

Really sorry to hear that.... don't know what the reason would be, but I guess everything happens for one......
You'll have to put a force field around the next one.....

[knoble]

How much do you want for the Bimini? What color is it and how wide is it at the mounting points?

[milner351]

I'd be interested in the driver seat, back seat, and fuel tank - but shipping will likely be nuts to the detroit area....
