1/8 Scale Miller Lite U7

[toadstoys5]

I want the boat, I'll even offer to pay you more for it. You can have it drop shipped to me or? Are you in Florida (I forget) I'll come pick it up? I was buying the boat for my Son "Logan" as a birthday gift, that's why the frustration.

 

[toadstoys5]

I appreciate the response, all good.

 

[Hydro Junkie]

WOW!!!!
I don't think I've ever seen someone make an offer like that. Most would say I got there first, sorry. The fact that Chris made the offer to sell it to you for his cost is, to say the least, uncommon. I'm glad to see everyone is good with the outcome as this could have been very messy. Two thumbs up for Chris

 

[Jeff Barnes]

That was very cool of Chris when I read that it was very refreshing to know that there's a lot of good people in the world

 

[toadstoys5]

agreed

I play with this stuff for the enjoyment of building, running and simply just hanging out with friends. I avoid stress as much as I can because I know that I will walk away from this hobby faster then you can say “let’s race” if I see stress knocking on the door.
let’s have fun, help each other out when we can and be the best person in the sport that we can be! Cheers!!

Chris is a stand up guy... no two ways about it.

Years back when he was building and selling Hurricane's, I ordered a nice RTR boat from him.
When it arrived, the nose of the hull was crushed in shipment. One phone call... and a replacement hull was at my door in two days.

No "I need the old one back first" .... No "I need to charge you until the other one is sent back"
No" You deal with UPS".... nothing but handling the problem, and taking care of his customer.

I've never forgotten about Chris and the way he took care of me... class act all the way !

Thank you for that.

Chris, after 40 years I still love you like a brother. All this whining should be between the guy who wanted it and the seller. You have gone above and beyond and you did the nice thing with your offer, nicer than I would have.

Your situation sounds exactly like a vendor i have dealt with that frequents and sells here on iw. Curious was it a cowling for a tunnelhull?

 

[Tracy Dolphin]

Hi All,

I posted the Hull on FB prior to posting it here. I received so many offers I just took the first offer who paid and that was a buyer on FB. I apologize to those who I did not respond to.

No, it was a complete Ready to Run Hurricane Mono with a CC modified motor that Chris used to sell. The nose of the hull was crushed in shipment.

First off, I totally get your frustration. I told the seller that I would take the boat before you posted anything Tuesday. He was working on the packing/shipping cost and that was the only thing that I was waiting on to send him the money.

The boat was listed on FB market place and that was where I saw it. It wasn’t until Tuesday afternoon that I even saw the boat was listed on IW or anyone’s response to the IW add. I knew that the boat was sold already at that point, “when I saw your first response” but it’s not my place to tell you that I had already told the seller that I would buy the boat.

I don’t think that the seller is an active boater or has been one in a while. I also don’t think that he hangs out on this site much at all. Judging by how much time there was between me telling him that I’ll take it to when he listed it sold on here proved that to me. I really think that it was an honest over site on the seller’s part for not saying that the boat was listed else where.

If this it truly a problem for you, sand me a pm and I’ll contact the seller and we can give him your address and you can pay me the money that I already put out for the boat and he can ship it to you. Like you, I have plenty of boats and need another one like I need a hole in the head. I don’t want you upset with me because I bought something that you wanted, life is to short for all that BS.

Let me know this morning ASAP before the boat gets shipped. I still feel it was no more than an honest mistake on the sellers part but this is about the best I can do. I would like to have it but I’m not going to get upset over a toy one way or the other.

WOW!!! What you did there is absolutely 1000% amazing! I dont know you, and dont know as we'll ever cross paths in the boating community

Got ya, i wont burn down the vendor on this post, but he sent me a busted cowl, and basically told me to pound sand, and deal with the shipping.

Back to the original topic
I wish there were more boaters like Chris, by this thread, he looks to be 100% a great human being.

Thank you, I try.

He had time to answer FB post but not IW post I guess

i seen it on Facebook and replied within a short time but never received any communication from him either.

 

[GUPPY]

Tom who didn't communicate with you on FB???? I hope you are not referring to me....you are dead wrong if you are..... every comment you had i replied to then you disappeared. This is the boat you asked me about

 

[Bill Miller]

1/8th scale Miller Lite scale Hull. Great condition. Been sitting around for a while. Need the space. $300. I prefer local pickup but will to ship. Seller pays for boxing and shipping

Hello, sorry I know old thread but I hope to find out what hull number this is?
Thanks for any help

 

[Hydro Junkie]

Bill, first off, Welcome to the forum.
As for your question, it was, originally anyway, the 7612, Miss Budweiser. Unlike when the boat was first built, the cockpit was in the front, instead of behind the Merlin Engine

Thank You, I don’t know how many times I looked through the list and passed right over it. I was sure this odd gas hull I was gifted would make that boat - so close but not quite!
Thanks so much!
