That's so cool!

If you look at the photo of the one in the water at Haulover... Notice that it looks like there is an aluminum flatbed on it. Is that to save weight? As far as driveability.

Who did you insure it thru? I've called all the mainstream insurances and non cover it (2002 FL-60). If someone knows of any companies that might insure it, let me know pls. thanks

My Allstate agent got me a policy on it. I think it was about a grand per year.....Even though it was a "Recreational Vehicle- Not for hire" I'm pretty sure that it was classified as a commercial policy.

So I ended up buying it. I couldn’t pass up on the deal. I’ll be gutting the interior and customizing the upholstery.

I've been using it as a daily driver this past week. Let me tell you it's not as bad as I thought. The visibility while driving is insane. Can't wait to see how it does on the ramp.

Just picked up a super clean 2013 GMC3500 4x4 Duramax/Allison. 30k miles on it. Been towing my fountain with my old Chevy Silverado 3500 4x4 with a 6.0 gas motor. Amazing difference.

I've had a power stroke truck & a 6.5 GM diesel before, just not in the past 16 years. Just have to remember when pulling up to the pump. Lol
