I saw this at the Eliminator Factory. The story has it the owner has two of these. One on the east coat and one on the West coast. Must be nice.

This is a new leather equip, Pete with a 50' Sunseeker in tow with triple 440 yanmar diesels

holy crap!

the SE50 superhawk is a SWEET setup. Shes pretty quick, near 70 witaht full cabin that is actually usable, galley, enclosed head with shower, and seperate sleeping cabin.

65 isn't stupid fast by any means but its pretty good considering she weight 14k lbs.

Cool doesn't begin to tell all about this trip to Eliminator..... we were also interviewed by Powerboat Mag and we were invited ( & went with Bob Leach) to a Hot Boat photo shoot. Fountain38 was in the boat with Bob Leach & may be in the new Eliminator sales brochures!! Incredible trip!:D

MitchStellin 03-09-2004 08:29 AM

Where do you find a ramp for that thing, even if you got it in where would you park. I would have three, need one in MI also:D

DoTheMath 03-09-2004 09:33 AM

Wow, that setup is sick! Imagine cruising down the freeway and seeing THAT come by you!?!?:eek:

Instant woody!:D

AUSOME!!!!

Hot Duck 03-09-2004 12:25 PM

I have always wanted a Peterbilt for a tow vehicle. Here is a link for these conversions...

Lone Star Haulers

These are fantastic trucks, but they would require you to stop and wait in line at all of the weigh stations. If you were to go one step further and buy a toterhome, you could tag it as a private motorcoach and bypass the scales. Maybe there is a way around it with these Peterbilt conversions. I'm not sure, but if somebody wants to buy me one of these trucks I'll gladly find out! :D

outer42 03-09-2004 12:32 PM

if you put private haul on it ,you don't have to stop.

dlbCheckmate 03-09-2004 02:43 PM

When we raced Sprint cars we ran simular rigs, set up with Motorhome tags and you don't even need CDL license :D :D :D

45sonic 03-09-2004 04:39 PM

DAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!

CBlakeNS 03-09-2004 05:36 PM

Wow, that is definatly a nice tow rig, im sure very roomy and nice inside.

blown formula 03-09-2004 06:09 PM

The reason this is at Eliminator is they are doing a retrofit of the intrumentation for the owner. The original equipment dash is a computer display screen & was defective. The manufacturer is out of business and Eliminator is custom fabricating "burl mahogany (??)" dash panels and installing all new analog gauges and sensors. Seems like a step back, but ya' gotta do what ya' gotta do!! The new dash panels are awesome!! The burl costs $400.00 per sheet !! Can't make mistakes at that rate.;)

eyezlee 03-09-2004 06:22 PM

I want to hear more about the trip!!!! Fountain38 spill it.

Blown........Like this? :D :D :D :D Thinking about carbonfiber dash and new color LCD radar myself!

blown formula 03-09-2004 09:54 PM

Phantom- pretty close, just the tint is different... not as dark. Yours sure looks good tho'...... That's more stuff on the dash than I have ever seen on a Formula. Did you ever sell the 312?? Curious as mine is now for sale.


Eyezlee.... ya' should of been there. I cannot begin to tell all that happened..... Big Bear lake, Elsinore, Snow, cuties, boats, Legends, etc... just on and on!!

Hey Paul, we should have had ypu go with us. It was well worth the trip. we went from 75 degrees to 30 degrees at Big Bear Lake 45 miles away, and then to the lake.

Hot Duck....collect the change that falls out of your pockets and that should more than cover it!!!! :D :D :D :D

puder 03-10-2004 12:08 PM

nort did you get a sunseeker apache?

puder 03-10-2004 12:10 PM

oh also, if if you have "private, not for hire" on your tow rig you are still supposed to stop at weight stations. We've been hassled in the dually with the 45' race trailer. I can get away with my truck and the little 20'.

Motorhome registration does get around the CDL thing though.

I think Columbia still has some.:et:

Hot Duck 03-11-2004 02:11 PM

PhantomChaos: I wish that were true! I was loaded the other day when I sold the race boat, but then I had to go pay the bank. :mad:

PhantomChaos 03-11-2004 02:21 PM
