lol so far most of the boat sayings are not so great sounding. Also the one I hear the most BOAT "Bust Out Another Thousand"

Surprisingly boats at a certain age if taken care of do a great job holding their value. And for what I paid for this im sure I could turn around and sell it next month for quite a profit.

I have 2007 Stratos 176XT bass boat, and it's in great shape, I mean it has usage wear and tear obviously but for it's age it's in great shape. The previous owner took good care of it even replaced the carpeting, and I do the same. It sits In my driveway under a boat cover and a tarp over that.

Man, I really really hate optispark. How are you going to control the coils? You going Holley?
Yeah this is my second opti car lol. Aside from the opti its really not a bad engine platform and can make some decent power with some head porting and cam. Will be switching the opti out for the Torqhead ltd conversion. Uses the ls pcm. I have some nostalgia to the fbody as I had one of these when I was a teenager that got totaled by a drunk driver. You really don't see clean versions of this body style anymore. This car came up for sale locally and I couldn't resist but to bring it home.

We tuned a Camaro that had that torque head conversion, surprisingly it worked very well.

Ehh I looked at some Gto's, im just not a big fan of them. Big/heavy and they were not built very well. Most I've seen were falling apart inside and out. They haven't made a TA since 02
thats true 02 was the last year i keep thinking 03-04 time line
my buddy has a GTO i do like it

I feel this, I bought A 94 z28 (intended on selling it) with a blown head gasket, fixed it and absolutely loved the thing. Only had bolt ons and a shift kit but man the handling compared to the sn95 was night/day! Raced anything that would line up with it and it took all the abuse I threw at it. Optispark wasn’t much of a headache only when it got wet.. unfortunately I got t boned in it and sold it a few years back. I’ve had a couple opportunities to buy it back recently but with a 6 year old, 4 year old and a 2 year old it hasn’t lined up in my favor. Current owner said he blew the motor and from my knowledge the car still needs to be straightened out on a frame machine from my accident in it but it’s definitely one that I would like to revisit one day
