Congratulations on the new boat, but you now need a tow vehicle, because we all know anything beyond a 14' jon boat requires a 1 ton diesel with 4WD....

Haha, I don't have any issue towing mine with my '87 G20 van!

That boat is nice, but the van has "stranger danger" written all over it! LOL. Did that thing come with duct tape and extension cords as a factory option, or are they aftermarket?! LMAO

You gotta paint a big mural of Neptune or Thor on the side, or at least put a porthole window in! Jeebus!

Somewhere in my garage, there's an unused bumper sticker that says "your honor student is tied up in back". I bought two and put the other one on my old boss' van right before I quit. If I find it, I'll toss it in the truck and bring it the next time I go to Holloway.

My truck has the 5.3 vortech motor in it and seems to pull good in trailer mode.

Nice man! Should have tried some different props on my boat to see what they would do but trying to sell to go bigger. If you know anyone that wants a quick 24' let me know. Chris can vouch for it.

I will be attempting to replace the swivel pin, fix hatch motor, and install full dual ram hydro steering soon. Also sending the prop to bblades to get labbed. Time to start throwing some money at her.

Make a "wish list" and do these things during the off season...we still have plenty of running time left before old man winter shows up. Don't want to be missing any water time while you still can enjoy it.
