Attention Jedis!

Guys....

I WAS KIDDING!!! :rof:

That boat is rediculous! :sssh:

There's probably a story to it as Coop said.

Maybe it belonged to someone affiliated with Star Wars or something.

Maybe it was used for promotional purposes? Who knows?

I can't imagine being a big enough fan of anything to put it all over my car, boat or whatever.

To each their own I suppose. :)
 
I am sure you will all be VERY surprised to hear this, but......so far NO ONE has bid on it yet! And I thought there was one born every minute too.

Maybe if he stripped the $8,000.00 paint off of it, he'd be able to actually get $8,000.00 for the boat!!!!!!:lol:

OOPS.....there I go again ~ SORRY, SORRY!! :o

I'm sure it's got a nice bottom on it just the same, as who would ever have the nerve required to slip it off the trailer. Darn ~ uh, sorry! :o
 
The story is its his brothers boat and he got it from a friend that they call "Chewy" because he is big tall and hairy. The guy got kind of in a money bind so they bought the boat off of him.

I would have done it so the boat looked like it had the same type of hull plate as Han Solo's ship, the Millenium Falcon, different colored plates with some missing showing the insides. Maybe even a little battle damage. That would have been cool.

Wow Coop. You put a lot of thought into that. Can a Reality GTX inspired Star Wars boat be far off? :p

Just make sure it's not one of the first couple for JW's sake! :banana:
 
lol, That might be a long wait for that boat. I haven't touched an air brush since about 1989. So its been a long time since I sprayed a Yoda.
 
Hey guys, I actually stumbled accross the "Starwars" Starflite this past sunday. The boat was sitting on the side of US-1 in Hobe Hills. The boat is surprisingly clean and well taken care of. No chips, gelcoat was in great shape, carpet was clean......just a bit hoaky with all the starwars airbrushes but not overly bad. Definitly worth a look for you Starflite fans!!!
 
I wonder what the rock bottom price would be. I could live with the paint, heck that thing is famous at this point.
 
kinda off the subject jupiter but i lived in jupiter when i was a kid, we owned a gas station/ grocery store there. Anyhow coop can u paint my boat red and put a big number 8 on the side?????????
 
Heck If the boats in great condition steel it and reshoot the deck with some Black and Purple or something, make it what you want it. That is if you could deal with the Orange sides and interior colors.

Hey Coop, the for sale sign said $9800.oo and I'm sure that could be bargained down. Next time I drive by I'll take down the phone number....If I didn't have my Pulsare I'd offer the guy $7500!!!!
 
Since this is becoming a legend maybe we need some gps numbers on it.:bigthumb:. I cant believe that the owners hasnt been on here or know of this site. Someone fess up to owning it we know your out there. Aaron
