Sorry guys, I just struck a deal to sell her.

I'll leave the pictures up, just so you can kick yourself for not jumping on this when you had the chance...

I hate to sell this boat. It is the coolest 12' boat I've ever seen. But, I just don't use it enough to justify the space it takes-up in the garage. And it really deserves to be owned by someone who will get it wet regularly...

1991 Metalhead 12' Jet Sled, with 1999 Mercury 20hp Outboard Jet.

1 of only 3 ever made by the skilled hands of Richard Parker (aka Peter MacFarlane) before his unfortunate encounter with Federal law enforcement...

This boat provides a rock-solid fishing platform, ideal for 1 or 2 fishermen, with lots of dry, lockable storage (In bow, under seats and side rod lockers).

The flat bottom and jet drive allows this boat to travel safely though ankle-deep water. Perfect for local rivers.

You really have to see this boat to understand how unique, functional and just plain cool it is!

Always garaged and well cared for...

Nice sled ,that looks like it just came of the show room floor! Only wish I had 10K to spend. Sweet ride, that would be tough to get rid of.

It is extremely high quality and very rare......like new.

Don't think about it too long .......

Hummm.....not sure if George bought mine or we have located two of the three hulls.

This boat is artwork, and George is right, you must at least take the time to see this boat even if you don't buy it. The craftsmanship is unparalleled and the construction is Fish Rite quality which isn't surprising as many of the welders were Fish Rite moonlighters, according to Richard. It was one of my favorites of those I've owned. This old picture was taken at Ice House in the mid 90s. My power was a Johnson 15 hp prop. The jet is the hot setup.

Jaysus,
I just spent $10K on Implants for the wife (dental, not the other kind).

And yes, it IS the same boat. After buying it from you, John, I quickly put the 20 Jet on it, and never looked back.
