I have a good friend that just topped 500 Hours on his 02 38 Scarab, and another friend over 500 hours on his 01 38 Donzi. Both have 500 EFI's.

Actually, that is alot of miles when you consider that (to the motor) it is all (up hill). 12,000 gal X $2.50 = $30,000 not including the tow rig

Just went over 46,000 miles on the trailer towing and I lost my first tire Saturday down on I-26 heading into Charleston. Thanks to Steel Outlawed and his wife for noticing it was going and getting me stopped before it blew out.

Texas - Once
South Carolina - 16 Times
Georgia - Three Times
Kentucky - Twice
Tenessee - Once
Virginia - Three Times
Florida - 14 Times

It's all good!

Thanks Baja, Myco & Ford!

I lost my first tire about 2 miles from the factory on a brand new 26 Outlaw trailer. I think kids must be putting something on the road, because I just lost a tire on my blazer with the same kind of (large) puncture.

I have six BRAND new tires on the ground, and three brand new spares!

We rolled to Destin Florida this weekend for the OSS Worlds and back without any issues with the trailer or the boat!

Put 120+ miles on the boat also.

Good trip.

According to you local guys it was very low last year but I had a great time anyway. That is when I picked up my boat and was unable to get as much time on it as I would have liked. Hopefully we will be down next year and can spend more time on the water.
