Towing out to LOTO first time..

[ChiliPepperGarage]

Past Flag now.

A little rain ain’t going to hurt nothing. Going to have to clean the boat when we get there anyway.

Your 300 is gorgeous. IMO they are the nicest Hallett. Love the size of Dave’s, but the lines of the 300 are far superior. The windshield ruins the 335 for me.

I appreciate the compliment. Occasionally I think about putting it up for sale. I’m just not sure what I’d replace it with. It does everything well.

I agree. The factory windshield on the 335 is horrendous. I’d have a new one built. But I think it’s handling characteristics are much better than the 300. It would be fun to build one with more power than my current set up. The 300 is to perfect to mess with. It doesn’t need more power, the 525’s are perfect for that boat.

This thread is going to be epic! Thanks for taking us along for the ride @ChiliPepperGarage

Towed a boat home from CO Springs and stayed in Albuquerque.

Knowing Albuquerque, I opted for a bed and breakfast in Corrales - just north and rural. Super nice area, walled in acre lot, pulled the boat in and went to bed.

Hit a killer storm off I25 with downpours and hail, 3 minutes before it hit I exited to a big gas station. People just watched for 10 minutes as I tried to put the cover on in 30 mph wind.

 

[HST4ME]

Lol I went to Punta Gorda to pick up a boat during the great covid diesel crisis. I put $1100 of fuel in my truck in one day on the way home.

It appears he’s already in Williams.

He started a new thread-

LOTO 2024 Trip!

This thread is Sponsored by Absolute Speed and Marine! I appreciate them helping us get the boat ready for LOTO! Everything from a leaky water pump to changing out mufflers to exhaust tips and transporting it back and forth to Tireman when my truck was in the shop! First time towing out...

… Say your prayers, little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone
I tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
'Til the sandman, he comes
… Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
… Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
… Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite, yeah
… Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
… Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land, yeah
… Now I lay me down to sleep (now I lay me down to sleep)
Pray the Lord my soul to keep (pray the Lord my soul to keep)
If I die before I wake (if I die before I wake)
Pray the Lord my soul to take (pray the Lord my soul to take)
Hush, little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head
… Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land, yeah
… Boo!
Yeah-yeah
Yo, whoa
… We're off to never-never land
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
We're off to never-never land
We're off to never-never land
We're off to never-never land

One of the most stolen trucks towing a big piece of money in a horrible neighborhood.

Bold move.

 

[575cat]

Quitter!
Probably good advice, half of our group last year rented a pontoon with the biggest outboard they have, 300 maybe? They had a great time and were never too far behind us in the Conquest. View attachment 1416609

Just got back from there . Over populated with Loony tune,s & jet ski,s OMG

Always pull the fuel relay in the fuse box, truck isn't going any where.

 

[JL95]

sooooooooo... did the truck and boat make it through the night in NM?

 

[ChiliPepperGarage]

My turn to drive today so didn’t post from the road. We’re just west of OK City for the night.
No issues in Albuquerque at all.
110 degrees here now.
Should be in LOTO tomorrow afternoon.

If everybody knows that, why can’t the thieves just bring a replacement? Swap it in and boom, your truck is gone.

Criminals aren’t always dumb.

@golakers has a 335 out there also.

 

[boatpi]

Towing with full cover WILL damage the gel, it will show a dull mark from all the wind buffeting the cover, just use it at night, and the cockpit..If u can find it.

That's another reason my vehicles have a hidden fuel shutoff switch.
