Our Bullet has finally made it home
 

Many thanks to all that has helped me in the process of not only purchasing the Bullet but also getting our Cigarette Bullet home. We purchased her in Texas in the first week of February, had the entire cockpit upholstry replaced and new trailer fitted and she finally rolls into her new home in the foothills of Northern California this morning; a 2050 mile journey. :eek: The wait has been killing me.. :mad: . While waiting, I did spend too much time drooling over all your beautiful Cigarettes on OSO that I must say are truley a work of art. :D I will aspire to make ours as close to the art work you folks have but it may take me a while (hopefully with your continued help :D ).
I can NOW say that I am a PROUD CIGARETTE owner with a lighter wallet. :drink:

Thanks & Cheers! Wyatt

The Armada has a 9000 pound max tow w/ 123 inch wheelbase. I found out 1/2 way through the travels what the company was going to use to haul her and I almost chit. :eek: I called the boat store to show concern :mad: and advised on liability, then i reviewed my insurance policy...I was sweating it until it landed; waiting for the call from Highway patrol to come pick up pieces of fiberglass on the freeway somewhere between Tx and my house.
I met up with the company about 45 minutes away to follow the tow in-scarry...besides the undersized tow vehicle...the trailer was not set up properly, positioned incorrectly, short and bent bunks, lack of tongue weight (many, many issues to work out with the boat store now that the vessel is home that may be on a future thread :mad: )...so it was a handful for this guy to haul my tug with the equipment he used. I don't think he will be making the same mistake on his next tow. I will say he was a true gentleman and understanding of by concerns when we met up and still frighten to say the least of his 50 hour wild tow ride.

Thanks guys for the nice greetings...happy to be in the family.
Wyatt
