thanks Jack!!

Going good when I have the time to work on it. Transom is out and the new Coosa is cut and ready to go in, drives are polished, tabs completely redone, and a new raised hatch is mocked up and the mold is almost complete. Engines are all fitted just need to assemble the top ends. I have been taking pictures and will post all the progress when I get the time. Life sometimes seem to get in the way of the toys.

Damn son! You've been busy. Yes, post up the pics, love to see the progress.

Is SoCal getting the tsunami warnings too? Hope the boat is in Havasu, if not, away from the shoreline. Hope it's not as bad as the media is making it seem.

We did get the warnings and yes, it was a big nothing burger. We usually never have issues. There has been like two times in my whole life that the water did anything funky during a "tsunami warning". It's usually just tide rushing in and out of the harbors like it doesn't at Haulover. Not like a huge surge but more like a rapid change in low tide to high tide is all.

Boats out here in Cali. Heads back to Havasu in Sept., I'm guessing.

New boat tower has arrived. Wifes truck.

Can't wait to try out the new 10 speed Allison while towing the boat. Although, I hear the DEF system destroys fuel economy while towing. Makes total sense - save the environment while using twice as much fuel.

The 2005 in this thread is for sale if anyone is interested 159k miles $20k

The DEF systems does. My buddy has a 2016 and the system failed. It was going to be over 10K to fix so he found a shop to do the delete and get rid of some exhaust restrictions. He got a solid 4-5 mph better, towing or unloaded.

Maks no sense to me. Use twice as much fuel in the name of clean environment? :rolleyes: I'm not too stoked about the DEF BS but we'll see. If the laws change in Ca., which I hear they're supposed to soon, I'd consider deleting it after the warranty lapses. For now, I'll deal with it. I specifically got a 2024 because I hear they're pretty dang reliable and don't have the issues some of the other years had. So far, absolutely LOVE the new truck though. Can't wait to tow with it. It's going to the offroad shop to get a 6.5" BDS lift, 20" method 803 wheels and 37" tires along with some AMP steps to dump that step bar. :D Gonna see how it tows like that but if it sags at all, I'll install air bags and on board compressor. I'm just thinking it wont sag since it's a 3500 and has the helper springs, coupled with the fact our boat doesn't have much tongue weight I don't believe with the 6's and big ass motors out back and extended tonge to accommodate the ladder. We'll see.

Wildman,

MPG….? Just to be clear.

Thanks. Brad.
