After riding to LOTO with Wally this weekend, we decided he was more into blower tires than blower motors. We left two dead soldiers by the side of the road in the first 100 miles. Then the state trooper made us put a sign on the back of the boat -

Follow at your own risk - this trailer is sportin' CARLISLES

Wally was a wreck by the time we got all the way there. He had to go talk to the captain for a few hours just to calm down.

After loosening his wallet for 7 new Goodyears the ride home was uneventful.

They mated the deck and hull. They are back apart now for some final wiring if the deck and to attach the headliner. They go back together permanently this Thursday.

Looks fantastic. Do they have any estimate of total weight at this point? I beleive Sunsation was looking for 10,000 pound or less.

I would assume the builder (and you) is very happy with the outcome.

Keep the picture comming!

Did a little research, Carlisle tires are owned by a parent company Carlisle Companies which is publicly traded.

So my plan of buying 2 shares and gifting them to you and Jeff so that I can say the owners of that company (the shareholders) are pr!cks is falling in to place nicely.....

I believe those were original intended for military use as a form of exploding counter-measures on demand........

A trip with lots of memories no doubt

They are still shooting for 10K, time will tell how close they can get. I have not been to the plant to see it in person yet. I am going there Friday May 19, so hope to take a ton of pictures. I am hoping the engines are in and maybe have the dash in. We will see. I asked if it would get wet (not necessarily be painted etc) in June and answer was yes.

Are you getting thirsty?
