That is such a waste! How bad was the boat? Was it rotten?

You would cry to know what that would sell for down here.
It would be the only one down under as well I'd bet!

A damn shame I don't still live up there or I would've adopted that out of pitty! (my wife would kill me but oh well!)

Just curious, how did that little TrailBlazer SS do with the towing duties? Must have been a handful!
I'm still sad about having to get rid of it, The SS actually towed it quite well, stopping no so good because I didn't have a brake controller (electric brakes) but anything with surge brakes tows VERY well. I tow the fountain with it.

I think I may buy another Stinger after I sell the fountain, the lines are just beautiful

You tow a 29 Fever with your TBSS? Is your boat twin or single? What does it weigh? I believe the AWD TBSS is rated at 6600lbs. I have one, but the transmission just does not feel ready for any kind of serious towing. I wish I could tow my 303 with it, but I don't even trust my 1500 to do the job either.

After what you did with the last one... you should be barred from Stingers. Too few left. Stick with Fountains. It would be good to crush a few and help the used market. There are only so many stingers left. Don't hurt any more, please. You could chop up Fountains for years and nobody would notice.

Also please don't chop up any Apaches or Aronow Cigs.

TRS gimbles are not worth what they once were, i sold a set last year for 200 each, and bought my K-planes used for 500, I would however had pulled them if it was me!
