Default A Long Way in a Small Truck






Well I just rolled in this morning . . . 3460 Miles Cross Country in under 3.5 days What a relief it's over. The Seafari is now on the East Coast. The trip was pretty much uneventful . . . except for a little fog in Illinois. I had to pull over and spend the night at 3:30am. Finally the fog lifted around 10am.

well done on the drive! I've pulled a boat from one coast to the other three times now - an uneventful crossing is a very good thing. All three of my towings across the country were done with the same engine pulling the boats as you used (at least I assume that's a straight-6 Jeep engine in that truck).

Hey Tim, Hate to see the ferrari, er, Seafari leave the left coast but glad the trip went well. You thought that corn field was a shallow lake, huh? Probably gettin' there just in time to find the early striped big boys at Monomoy Rips -- full transom will be great out there... Good luck with the old/new stomping ground. Gillie

I really hate to see you go ole buddy..... now I have nobody to play SeaCrafts with

But a friend for life you are. See you in a few days when you bring the black boat over for that minor surgery.
