Yes, and Mustangs. I belong to a few groups on FB and CorvetteForum.com ; and there are often folks looking for hard to find parts to be sent over.

Our good friends sold their 47 EC Fountain a few years back and got one with a pair of 350's on it. Super cool boat, but not a great boat to entertain on (IMO) but they love it, awesome quality....rides and cuts through just about anything.

We were 8 of us and the capt and first mate. Didn't seem that crowded to us. But there may have been some alcohol involved.

I admire the Axopar's as well. They look like a great adventure craft for a week long coastal cruise. Nice top speed for the size with just two outboards. And what's not to love about the year around boating it allows for. Big boat, shallow draft, great water access. I bet 10 years from now there will be more OSO members with Axopar's then the pontoon boats they won't admit to now. I bet you could even water ski behind one. Anybody ever fish off of one?

I love the versatility. We boat in havasu and in the pacific. It’s perfect to open the sliders and the rag top for a center console feel in the havasu heat and nice for running offshore in the rougher and cooler afternoons coming back from the islands with it all closed up, not worrying about taking water and spray into the boat. Plus cool lounging and entertaining area in the cabin and now and aft sun lounges when anchored up. Could sleeon4 if you wanted too. Just a cool boat. Would suit us very well. But it wouldn’t be for years and years from. Ow. I’m not even close to getting RWTD out of my system. 😁

Two of them showed up at the toy run.

The larger one they were staying on, I thought he said it had a diesel heater?

Have to admit this year in the cold seemed like a nice ride.

Winter updates have commenced -

ladder for bow, storage box on frame rail, putting EOH unit into box to clean it up, replacing existing lights with LEDs adding frame rail running LED s and under boat white LEDs. Pretty excited. Gonna be cool.

first pic from Adrenaline Trailers in havasu, who does amazing work and if you go back I documented them doing the cafe trailer work in this thread. Ladder will be at a 25 degree angle more like steps compared to our last trailer where they were vertical making it a bit tricky to traverse. Because the steps start pretty far forward the concern was during a hair pin tight turn it may hit the truck so they’re sleeving the hitch and putting a new complete unit at front that will extend the trailer 12”.

man, you are asking all the questions I can’t answer right now lol. I can’t remember if it’s leaf or torsion. I think leaf spring. 6 or 7k rated axles I believe, again can’t remember. Trailer was built for the boat. It’s a Pacific trailer. And the EOH system was just upgraded last year before I had the boat brought back from LOTO. upgraded to disc brakes and all new hubs before the haul out and they had to put a new EOH system to manage the disc brakes. I just can’t remember wtf system it is.

got a text from adrenaline today. He wants me to call
him tomorrow regarding the paint. I have a feeling he wants to paint the trailer. Ugh.
