    Thumbs up Switzer Shooting Star

    There was a 13 foot version that was cute as a button with a merc 500 on it in E class.

    Hey there T2x, I think the 13 foot version was a Switzer Playboy that ran the old FE class. That was a Holiday Hull with a Shooting Star deck. Just pulled one out of the mold that Captain Nabbers Boat Shop made from a 1967 Playboy(the 16'model) that I found in Iowa 2 years ago.
    Bob told me they never made a short version of the star but did make one for the Playboy because they had 3 different sizes (14 ,16 ,and 18) for the Holiday Hull. Tom Arambasich www.freewebs.com/switzercraftreunionregattas ...Tell Darren I said hi.

    Old news

    Did the motor you bought belong to me? No it did not, You asked if I knew of any 150 XS motors and I told you I knew some one that had one. Without physically taking the motor apart how would I know any more about it than you would? I made two trips down to your place to try to help you. I also did work on your boat that you refused to finish paying for because of the motor which was a separate deal. If you watch ebay and what just the XS cowling and covers go for and what the gear case goes for you could throw the power head away and still come out on what you paid for that motor. I am sorry I ever got in the middle of that deal.

    Don't twist words now, The motor came from YOU regardless of WHO you got it from YOU sold it to me stating it was a great running 1500xs IT WAS NOT AND YOU KNEW THAT So you took in a great running 115 in on trade charged me a BUNCH of money and looked me in the eyes and screwed me, others on here have called me and said your a POS as well so don't act all innocent, you COULD have made this right, but you figured I live 7 hours away ( which don't forget Jerry how many times I made that trip) The only money you did not recieve was $300.00 Why in the world would I pay ( after giving you $3500.00 AND a Pristine low hour original 115 merc inline) AND a 22 Drag prop that you drooled over. The money was for the 26 3 blade prop I got from you, and your right I DIDN"T PAY tell ya what come down I'd be happy to give you the money and a piece of my mind as well. You had every oppeetunity to do right, but you knew what you did...........and you still chose to fork me over
    If I were any closer this would be different. You'd be missing teeth by now.
    So say all the lies you want I will follow you around Scream and Fly and tell everyone what a piece of $hit you are

    What was the Switzer called that looks like it shares the same deck as the Star but has a V-pad bottom? I saw a picture of a red one around here someplace.
