No offense taken. I am currently trying to give at least a weekly update as of the first of the year. I got worn out with it for a while but I am back at it 100%. Thanks for commenting.

Blasted down to New Port Beach Sun Country to pick up this fully loaded Nautique. Tucked it away into storage at The Islander.
Hooked onto this new M-31 with 860s here in Havasu to deliver to the very happy new owners in Las Cruces NM. Boat will be used on Kingdom Possum Lake in Texas.
Off to Possom Kingdom Lake to pick up quite possibly the baddest assed Schiada built. Funny thing, the DCB I deilvered in Las Cruces was for the son of this Schiada owner. The family has 2 lake houses there. I returned to Havasu with the Schiada. I believe it is being traded in at Schiada for a new 32. Encountered some issues coming home through El Paso. Alot of road construction, I hit something with the left side wheels of the trailer. Hence the beautiful white wheels on the trailer. As a big rig passed me on the left, I heard 2 big thumps, with in seconds I heard and felt 3 big thumps/bangs coming from the trailer. Whatever the big rig hit got sent into my lane and I hit it too. Made it to Discount tire, bought 6 wheels and tire and proceeded home. Damn glad nothing happened to the boat.

Blasted out to Missouri to pick up this 27' I/O Playcraft from the factory. Delivered to Horizon Motorsports. I believe this one is for sale, check with Preston.
Back out to Possum Kingdom Lake in Texas to get this beautiful 2013 28' Howard. Yes its the same owner as the 21 Schiada from last week. This boat is currently for sale. Its running a Teague 1050, Max Machine Works outdrive, I think it has about 40 hours on it. Very, very nice boat. One of my favorite Howards. Call Gene for details. If it has not sold, it will be in the Howard booth at the Havasu Boat Show in April

Amazing you could incur that much damage to the rims without hurting the boat. Something put some serious hurt on those wheels!

Yea I know. I found some wheels that are almost identical in looks, but not Boyd Wheels.

Sometimes....they can be repaired.
...or in other cases, the outers are cut off the centers and new outers are welded back on.
If the owner of those wheels is dead set on retaining them, it is an option.

This is awesome Doug, thanks for sharing. Sorry if this has been asked already. Do you have any opinions or thoughts on what trailers seem to be the best Tracking, load distributing or any other thing that comes to mind? Thanks

Myco trailers seem to be the very best for the bigger boats. Adrenaline are very good. If you get a good one, Extreme is alright. Triple axles are really the way to go. I really like the electric jacks that are becoming more popular now. I prefer zerk fittings to oil bath axles. The fancy wheels are nice, but cannot be changed if a flat occurs. you need a thin wall socket for most of them. Good question, hope that answer helps.

picked up this all aluminum trailer at Pacific Trailers in Chino CA. Only Galvanized on this baby is the axles. It is going under a DCB F-26. Delivered it to a very happy customer in Gig Harbor WA.
Blasted up to Oroville WA (the Canadian border above Wenatchee WA)to pick up this Bad ass Eliminator Speedster. If it looks familiar its because I have 7 or 8 thousand miles on my truck with this boat hooked to the bumper. The third owner had me deliver it to Jesse at Adrenline Detail in Havasu for a good clean up.

Blasted out to Indianapolis to pick up this Ultra. Delivered it to its happy new owner in Ontario CA. Hit some pretty good weather on the way out. It snowed on me from St. Louis all the way to Indy.
This is I-70 east of Indy on the way home. Almost like a post card.
After dropping of the Ultra, I buzzed up to Howard Boats to pick up this beautiful deck to bring back to Havasu for this weekends boats show.

I think Lee may hang on to this one for a while. That motor only has like 2 hours on a complete freshen up last year by Brummett.

Picked up this magnificent new 27 Speedster at the factory in Mira Loma CA. this may be the most unique Speedster to date. Note the gold anodized bezels and hardware. It really makes the rest of the bot "pop". I took it to Alexandria Alabama. These are some real good ole boys out there. They got the shrink wrap off in about 3 minutes. Had his mechanic there in 5 minutes to put on the props. Every one from the office and shop stopped working to come out and look at this boat. Even people driving by stopped to check it out. Good job you guys at Eliminator.
After dropping off the Speedster, I hauled ass over to Anderson South Carolina to pick up this Howard 28 Bullet. Its a 2016 running a Teague 825 and only has 44 hours on it. Returned back to Havasu and dropped it off at Maxed Out Marine. See Rick if your interested in it.
Spent the last 2 days getting our boat ready for the weekend. Ryan at RPM detail did his normal outstanding job getting it shined up. I had new tires put on the trailer. Noticed one wheel bearing was going to be an issue. Had Adrenaline trailers here in Havasu take care of that for me. They are the best. And "BOOM" ready for the weekend. Hope everyone has a fun and safe time at Desert Storm. If you see me, come over and say hello
