What is this boat?

[catch 22]

Saw this as I was coming out of the Keys today in Islamorada. Stopped to take a few pics. It was for sale 300.00 boat and trailer. It gave a new meaning to the word PROJECT.

Champ.

Great bottom for one of my Bench decks :)

[BUIZILLA]

not a Champ...

[cutwater]

Duuuh..

Prototype Criterion Jr. Never produced, factory thought it wouldn't sell....

Are you guys serious?? You could tell me just about anything on this one and I'd believe it :propeller: That would be a great find.

[catch 22]

DUUUUUDE!!
You didn't tell me it was that one :nilly: :eek!::eek!::eek!:
I'mma heading south in the AM, I'll buzz ya for the location..
The boat has moved, and the for sale sign is gone. This is SO COOL.

[Barry Eller]

I thought it looked like a Cigarette.

[BUIZILLA]

there is a garbled message on my HellTell... something about a road rescue needed on the 18 mile stretch... :smash: :eek!:

[hardcrab]

I had to laugh, the name on the side appears to be FUJIMO.
There is a cruiser with that name locally. I hear the boat was the result of a divorce and the acronym stood for
" **** You Jenn I'm Moving On "

[cutwater]

Seriously, I wasn't even alive when the Criterions were produced :bonk:... is there such thing as a Critter Jr.? I always thought the Minx looked Critter-ish in the stern.

Dayummmm, this thread seems like it is 24 days early.
...."Hello is the Blanchard..... I'm cleaning up my yard this weekend and I need to rent a Cat E120B with a hoe, and a barrel chipper."

[BUIZILLA]

:wink: is that chipper in Oklahoma?? :eek:

[boxy]

Not sure Jim, I was looking for a pic of a barrel chipper and I found this one. What's the Oklahoma angle?

[BUIZILLA]

1 Card Shark + 1 chipper = lots of colorfull glass mulch

[boxy]

Ahhhhhh, didn't realize CardShark was vapourized in Oklahoma.

Buizilla, is that mess cleaned up on the 18 mile stretch yet. I hate taking Card Sound Road. :hangum:

[boldts]

Sooooooo Poodle has a Prototype mini Critter that was never produced by Donzi in his pocession? Hedi must be ready to hang this guy. LOL Scott, you never cease to amaze me. Hello Jeff? We need to reproduce the AOTH Critter shirt design. Seems we left one out..........

Hope your ok and look forward to hearing this rescue story in it's completion.

From the sounds of it....the story may have a bad ending...?

[BUIZILLA]

From the sounds of it....the story may have a bad ending...? not really.... seems someone's wife threw some stop sticks aross the road, a Winn Dixie semi not paying attention popped a tire and the following rig (ahem... coughcough) got caught up in it and now we have matchsticks... no biggie, life goes on, broom's are back in the closet...

please return to your continued errant ways.. :wink:

[superhatz]

Am I the only one here that needs an update?......an answer to this question......?

Here's what I think happen based on the cryptic posts here.

1: Dude posts what actually is a prototype Criterion Jr. for sale in the Keys for $300.

2: Poodle craps his pants, does a neutral drop and heads South.

3: Buys said rare boat.

4: On the way home a semi jackknifes and t-bones the boat, turning it into a pile of $hit.....totally unrepairable.

How far off am I and where are the pics?

Poodle....if this is true?......I hope you are ok.

[vonkamp]

Am I the only one here that needs an update?......

Yes please translate for us folks who aren't from the country of Miami. :smash::smash::boggled:

Frank :confused:

[MOP]

Darn post gives you "Puckeritis" just reviewing it, my bony butt can't stay on the edge much longer!

[Carl C]

:popcorn:You mean you guys don't know?:doh:

[boxy]

Let us in on the real story Carl ...... :D

[BUIZILLA]

the boat coroner says the identification process will be diffficult.... patient was DOA on the scene... West System forensics was dispatched.... prognosis is terminal... :angel:

:shark:

[boxy]

After the autopsy is done, will we be able to buy little commemorative bags of Criterion Junior fibreglass????
I would love to have a little piece of history to put on display behind my bar.
Maybe commission Scott Pearson and Cliff to build little rosewood boxes with an era correct Donzi logo on the lid.

[BUIZILLA]

I will defer any further assessments to Clyde *fuzzy* Crashcup

:cool:

[superhatz]

According to my attorney, I should be able to discuss this shortly..
Boxy is on the right path though.. :doh: :doh: :eek:

I'm depressed.
