I just don't get it. How do Schiada owners think that their hippy 70's boat is worth so much? Let's face it, outside of the hardcore boaters, if you show up at the local lake in a Schiada the average person is going to think it's a disco jet boat from decades ago.

And then if you tell them you paid 70K they would instantly think you are a lunatic.

If I had the cash i'd have one in the stable, but then again I drive a jet boat from decades ago.

If I had the money, I'd buy a 28' Campbell Flybridge. But who am I to say? I own a '74 Sleek Craft Rebel, a '78 18' Sundance, and a '78 SWTD.

Is the title of this thread really necessary? There will be NO tolerance for any form of bashing here. If I recall correctly GRADS2112, you have already been warned here.

If the guy wants to sell his boat for 70k, let him sell it for 70k.

Yes. Crack Pipe. And if there is NO boat bashing you might as well call it Powerboat Magazine.

I'm rather fond of my 21' RC. Oh, we have flats too but this boat is a one-of-a-kind. Ask Denny Valdez why he has one - but make sure you give him enough time to explain all about his ski-race wins with it.

We had ours up at Lake Powell the first year we had it and another gentleman idled up to us and said to the folks in his boat "That's it! That's the Schiada 21' River Cruiser! Take a good look because that would be the best boat you could ever own." He immediately proceeded to ask me if I had an interest in selling to which I replied "no thank you" after which he told the party in his boat "See. They seldom let go of them once they own one." He complimented us on our purchase and drove off in the Sunset. Most of the other compliments came from "hot" boat owners who watch as my family cruised past them at their top speed. :D

The boys may be called out of town to do some police car testing. If they are around, we'll probably take in Friday at Fireturd.

This is true! I've pointed out some pretty bad ass boats on the water to friends who aren't too familiar with boats. They don't get it. To each their own.
