Going to be at Texoma for the 4th. Who is building your trailer? What doest that 298 weigh?

You should plan a coastal trip. Im trying to get another one tegether for late summer/fall.

I will be at Texoma. I don't have any plans to travel. Still paying for new engines.

Loadmater out of Port Clinton, OH. My buddy got one for his 33 chaparral, so I was able to see their quality and liked it; plus even with delivery charge, it is a $1000 less than anyone else in TX for a painted steel 3 axle / 3 brakes 15K cap 18K GVRW.

298= 8500 dry, i guess 10500 fully loaded. 142 gals gas, genset, water, gear ect.

The wife and I are planning a coastal trip in either late July or early Aug. Not sure yet. At 1st we thought of going to Destin/ Ft Walton, but then I added a rough cost and it was $2000 for truck diesel, boat fuel and some other items we need for the boat like GPS / Chartplotter and radio. That does not include food or entertainment. Now we are thinking either Corpus down to Padre or Galveston over to Lake Charles then back and crusie down towards Freeport.

Lets get something together. I would be down to have another boat or two.

Ex Hawk, how is the cabin coming along?

Hasnt changed much. V-berth is done, headliner is nearly done, bulkheads covered etc. Im not sure how much more I will get done this summer.

Hows your new ride? You coming to Texoma anytime soon?

It's alot of fun! Right now I have a prop hub slipping but have found the fix so when I get it back it will be on. Don't know about Texoma we are going to visit friends at Grand Lake end of this month looking forward to that.

Hawk - where did you launch from at Houston? I am looking for a place where I can keep the trk and trailer safe.

I launched under 146 in Kemah. I left the truck and trailer there over night. No issues... maybe I was lucky!

Thanks. I need somewhere I can keep the truck for 4-5 days. I am thinking of calling some of the marinas

I would not hesitate to leave it in Galveston at the Yacht basin. If you are running to lake charles, there is really nothing special about running Clear Lake to the IC to head up. You could launch in Galveston and head out of the ship channel across to the IC and be on your way.
