Another Sunkin Nightmare
 
3 Attachment(s)
Found this over on dieselplace. Here's the guy's post: :rolleyes:


you don't need no stinkin' d-max, look what the 'ol half ton is capable of....

We've been doing this since that truck was new in '89. The boat goes maybe 3-4 miles from storage to gas station to ramp, but it gets 'er done. 4 low, can't go faster than about 15 mph, no trailer brakes, and a 4x4 coupled with a 2x4 between rear axle and bump stops. Last year we had it on a little too far forward and the front truck tires were chirping on take off, minimal steering. Don't worry, we're safe, we put a tow strap to another vehicle in the event the chevro blows a u joint or something

Can't wait to saddle 'er up to the d-max this spring....

Boat is 16,400 lbs dry, 39' long by 14' wide.
trailer is about 5000 lbs
350 gallons of fuel x 8.33 lbs per gallon = 2915
150 gallons of water x 8.33 lbs per gallon = 1249
13 golf cart batteries x 68 lbs ea = 884
prob at least 1000 lbs of misc gear total wieght somewhere in the nieghborhood of 27440 lbs.

Top this you rednecks.

When he drives over a 9-year-old on his bike, they can use this at his trial. :)

Here was his post about that:


haha, i was awaiting a response like those that were posted.

Just got my d-max, that ol' half ton belongs to my dad (as well as the boat)

No its not the factory hitch, and no it doesn't go far down the road, like I said it goes about 2-3 miles down back roads from the storage to the ramp. And yes the truck will pull it up the ramp in 4 - low, the van and tow strap is just in case... It draws quite a crowd every spring and fall, I'll tell you that.

Bunch of nay-sayer's you all are,I thought you'd be proud to see what a chevy is capable of, lol.
:rolleyes:

Its clear that he doesnt care about the life of others, only himself.
When he hits someone and they take his house, or his dads he'll get it.

You can't cure Stupid. This guy is living proof.

DirtyMoney 03-03-2008 09:26 PM

Where is this guy? I want to stop short in front of him and settle out of court for just the boat if it is still in good shape.

waterboy222 03-03-2008 10:18 PM

If this guy's been dodging the bullet this long, I'd say you have a better chance of the boat sliding forward, slipping over his pickup and crushing you.

What's that phrase? "God looks after fools and small children."

Yes we do. We also have a fine educational system too. If you went through it any time after 1965, they spent most of their time telling you that you have rights. I suppose that was more fun to teach than reading and math. Anyway, the average American leaves school and the thing they remember most is that they have rights. Since they really weren't paying that close of attention, they assumed they had the right to do whatever they goddamned well wanted to. So they do. Drive on some of our roads sometime and you can meet these fine people.











(Just kidding. We have lots of fine, responsible people here. It's just hard to find them on some days)

priceb 03-04-2008 06:51 AM

I remember seeing a winnabego (or however you f...g spell it!) towing an suv, towing a boat on the freeway in florida/georgia. I thought that was pretty funny.

Australia is a police state on the roads these days....I've posted a heap about the drama's i've had trying to get my cig legal to tow.

Anyway funny pics, keep them coming!.

priceb 03-04-2008 07:05 AM

hey Chris, how is your cigarette coming on, post some pics for us.

Chris Sunkin 03-04-2008 07:40 AM

Glassdave has it. I was going to start a thread of the process but I forgot the camera when I towed it out. I have a couple shots- I'm going out there later this week- I'll start that thread after I get some progress pics.

BEHOLD, the power of the bowtie!
 
For some reason that body line doesn't look that strait between the cab and the box......:grinser010:

Man I looked all over for those pictures a while ago when there was a "discussion" about towing. Good find-I didn't say anything about them since I couldn't find them again, and I figured nobody would believe it without seeing them.

The first time I saw those, all I could think of was--"Here's your sign"

Perlmudder 03-10-2008 11:16 PM

i almost feel like they are fake, but then im like no way somebody put that much effort into mocking up some pictures.

MOBILEMERCMAN 03-10-2008 11:27 PM

All that and he forgot to attach his safety chain.

spazboz 03-11-2008 01:05 AM

Perlmudder, I can't believe that you would do such a thing! And then show us all pics of your camping rig right here on OSO.....

Dude, you really should have kept that to yourself....

Chris Sunkin 03-11-2008 07:40 AM

Some of this $hit is just mind-boggling.
