[dougiebear111]

What's next up Doug? Anymore cool boats lined up for next week?:thumbup:

Picking up another F-32 in Atlanta next week. It's a referral from Brad at E-ticket. Picking up a new Howard next weekend for Mon. the 1st delivery in Havasu. Then off to norhtern Michigan to get a Premier pontoon for Havasu delivery. Next 2 weeks will be busy.

 

[dougiebear111]

Its just missing the 20" Wheels..

You built it. Why no 20s?

 

[UHHH SUCKA]

You built it. Why no 20s?

......wasn't ordered with them! Probably one of the only M-Series ordered without the bling!! Got two coming up here in the next 2-3 weeks that are going to be pimped out.

 

[dougiebear111]

Picked up this DCB F-32 in Gainsville Ga. You can't really tell from the pics but, it is white with blue and a little grey flames. I have been told this was mostly a Havasu boat, was sold about a year ago and went to Ga.. Now its back. Delivered to a home in the Refuge. I cant say this trip was uneventful. If you look closely at the 2 pics, you will see a major difference.

Halfway home the trasnmission gernaded itself. Had to be towed back to OKC. I figured this truck was done, so I left there with a new one. Can't say it was in the cards, but you gotta do, what ya gotta do to deliver as promised. Delivery made a couple of hours later than planned, but same day. Customer very happy.



Blasted off to Howard to pick up yet another magnificent boat. This on will be delivered here in Havasu shortly. (waiting for call) Once this gets to its new home, I am off to Michigan for the next one. I will be driving within 2 miles of Douglas Mi.. Anyone who knows what is in Douglas Mi. should be jealous of me, because I am planning on stopping. Hope to take plenty of pics for everyones viewing pleasure.

 

[Blubyu]

Congrats on the new truck! You def got your use out of the old one. Be safe out there man.

You like the new truck better? Pull better than your old truck?

Much nicer truck, and a pullin' bitch. Pulled that F-32 home a the trans. only downshifted once. Incredible. Thanks

 

[dougiebear111]

Will do. Looking forward to seeing how the big boys do it.

 

[YoPengo]

Congrats on the new Truck. Don't tell Pokey that your going to Douglas... he will want to tag along.

<<<< Always enjoy your adventures. Drive safe. :thumbup:

 

[Zaairman]

Sorry to hear about the ZF6. Did you keep that truck or trade it off? Hows the mileage with the new truck?

Traded it in. This got 12-13t pulling the F-32. Just got 21 empty.

I will be pulling a very nice boat next week. I will get some good pics and make it my new Sig pic. Nice of you to notice.

I am back from Michigan. Picked up this huge Premier 290. This bad boy is 10 ft wide. When I dropped it off we removed the shrink wrap to unveil the most plush floating formal living romm/bar I have ever seen on a boat. This thing is amazing. It is a Havasu boat, so keep an eye out for it. Yes that is a frozen solid marina. I had to laugh, I have a sunburned nose due to the fact we were on the lake last Sunday.I had to rub it in that we get to use our stuff virtually all year round. The guy and his wife expressed some interest in coming out to where the sun actually shines and you can see the ground. they were good sports about it as most of the Northeasterners are.







Oh, as far as Douglas Mi.. I probably was expecting way too much. Don't get me wrong, the place was amazing. Pete was very nice,busy. I just think I had visions of, like a ferrari dealer on steroids, with big, bad-ass boats all over the place. Not so much. If you didn't have an address you would drive right by it. Inside the building is absolutely amazing. Skaters everywhere is all different states of completetion. Pete was actually modifying one of the plugs. Very much a hands on guy. New builds, repairs, repaints, trailer builds, the place was amazing. Would not recommend it a tourist stop, but for the boat junkie:thumbup::thumbup:.

Picked up this beauty in Parker this morning. Brought it up to Havasu for service.

 

[dougiebear111]

Picked this Ultra up in Houston for Preston (Horizon Motorsports). Its running a 525 XR package. He is going to try to have it cleaned up by next weekend. Looked to be a pretty nice boat. Someone going to score a beauty.

Is that the one that has a windshield/canopies deal on it?

 

[dougiebear111]

Yes, It has this short, clear windshield deal on it. The guy bought it from a guy in Las Vegas about a year ago.

 

[dougiebear111]

Cobra sold this little Razor 230 to a guy in Albany N.Y..Delivered to an address that George Washington had been to. A little 2-lane unlined road out in the middle of the countryside, kinda cool. Had a strange weather incident this trip. It was 72 degrees in Cleveland Oh. at 3;00 AM. Drove west on I-90 150 miles and it was 38 degrees. My Havasu shorts just weren't cutting it, it was freakin cold.

 

[Dan Lorenze]

Doug, that's a long haul! :thumbup:

 

[dougiebear111]

I left Havi today Doug and it was 94 and hot. Have a safe drive back.:thumbsup

Dude, I am home, Got home last night. Wife and I went to boat show today and I help Gene move a Howard out this afternoon.

 

[DC HOWARD]

Doug, it was nice meeting you today.Helping Gene is always fun..

 

[dougiebear111]

It was nice meeting you as well. Gene called me last night and recruited me to move some stuff into the street fair Wed. night. I just can't tell that guy no.

 

[DC HOWARD]

I got two howard stickers for moving that boat. the things we do for people, you just can't say no too! See you at the Street Fair!

 

[dougiebear111]

I brought this magnificent Donzi in yesterday from San Diego. Dropped it off amongst some realy nice stuff at the Nautical. The boat is registered for the poker run, should be a pretty good runner with Merc 700s and NXTs.



This Fountian, I will be launching and retrieving this weekend. It too will be in the poker run. This thing is immaculate for a 1998. Its runnig HP 500s.



Now I am off to move a Howard into the street fair. Hope to see some of you peeps out today.

 

[renodaytona]

Good job on all the boat moving :thumbsup

 

[dougiebear111]

This M-31 finally made it to its home in Oklahoma. New owner was so happy to see it, he immediately hooked it to his new hauler. What a beautful sight.

On Friday I took this little Gekko ski boat to Sun Country Ontario as the front end of a Sun Country round trip. Ended bringing back 2 trailers.



My wife and I buzzed up to Bullhead Sunday to pick up this 27' Hallett to take to Irwindale for service.



Dropped off Hallett, went down to California Skiier in Lake Elsinore to pick up this cool little MB B-52. It got delivered to Nogales Az. this morning to an import/export service for transport to Mexico. Seems some Mexicans have some money. I have delivered several boats to the border the last couple of years.

 

[dougiebear111]

The owners of that Hallett Have another one at their home in Tahoe. I will be taking it up there later in the month. Yea, 2 Hallett 270s. The bullhead boat has a 525 in it, the Tahoe one has a Phaff 800 in it.

 

[UHHH SUCKA]

We don't have money, we have Pesos

[dougiebear111]

These are Wednesdays tows. The Tyrex from Horizon Motorsports was taken to str8up Motorsports in Grand Terrace for a custom roll bar.



This nice little Bennington got picked up at Sun Country, Ontario and delivered to Sun Country, Havasu.

 

[dougiebear111]

Sun Country turn around again. Moved this little Sea Ray from Havasu to Ontario. Brand new, wait for it................ about 35K. I was amazed!



This little Skeeter 210 is outfitted with a big Yamaha 250 hanging on the back. Should haul ass.

 

[dougiebear111]

Doug I think you typed it wrong? You said that little Sea Ray is 35k?

Nope, brand new 19' Sea Ray just over 35K.:eek

Picked up this Mastercraft X-80 in Scottsdale AZ. Buzzed it up to Whitefish MT. The owner says he is tired of the crowded lakes in AZ and is going to boat up north for the summer. He is actually Canadian, his wife is from AZ, and the in-laws are down here, so do the math




This lake is huge. I logged about 60 miles to get from the south end to the north end. I believe it it called "Flathead Lake". there are beachfront homes around it and there are even homes on the various islands on the lake.



I got back from MT and picked up this DCB F-29 to take to El Cajon for some service work. Always nice to see those guys.



About 6 miles away, I picked up this cool little Ultra Deckboat for Horizon Motorsports. They consinged to sell it for the owner.



No rest for the wicked. Off to MO, OK and IN for the rest of the week.

 

[milkmoney]

very cool, want to put on a another truck yet?

 

[boatnam2]

That x-80 has the old ford squatting hard!

Delivered this bad-ass 28' Playcraft toon with a.....................wait for it.............................525/XR package. This is one bad MOFO! The trailer was delivered to Horizon Motorsports by the Competitive guy. I took the trailer to the Playcraft factory in MO.. They put the boat on the trailer and I delivered it to Oklahoma City to a very happy customer. I met the guy that holds the pontoon speed record at the LOTO shootout. Seemed cool enough, but you could tell he had one screw about a half of turn loose. Anyone who goes 90+ in a pontoon boat I would expect nothing less.
