Brother and I towed his 41 Apache down in '09. same week as the powerboat races. What a great time. I may be taking mine down next winter and leaving it there. this could happen!

3491 miles for me. That's about 100 miles past my limit for towing the 28.

I'd like to make it if someone has room for one more passenger.

Just tow it to Jupiter. I'll send a truck up and get it from there.

Look at it this way, if u did tow it down you would likely get the award for farthest towed.

This boat hasn't missed a winter boat trip until this year and it's killing me. We haven't done a Thunder Run in a few years and we have several new owners that have never done one so lets give some real thought into bringing it back next winter. I know 12 months in advance might seem a little early to be doing this but just think about how well planned it will be. Anyone want to go cruising around in the Keys next January?
Can I just drive mine down to you and hook it up behind yours? I mean, you are HEADING that way, why not bring TWO boats...?

3258 miles at 9 mpg x $3.50 = $1,267(each way) x 2 = $2,534 + hotels, food and on the way down and back.

That's it, "Hey honey I'm flying to Key West next January. You should see all the money I saved 'us'!"
