Wow!!! Awesome rig. Aren't you way over length though? I had a 40 ft Renegade motor home with a 35 ft stacker trailer when I was drag racing and got ticketed for overlength several times. Not a cheap ticket either. I'm sure it tows like a dream and I wish you many happy and safe miles. Just hope you don't have any length problems. :)

thunderusone 09-20-2014 04:47 PM

I'm 92'. No problems yet. They are both registered in my personal name and the Toter is registered as a motorhome. I passed a state trooper today and he gave me a thumbs up. :D

If I do ever get a fine, I can Watch HBO, cook a pizza and take a dump while they are writing it up. Illinois is the only place I have ever been hassled. Stopped for passing a weigh station.....came after me....went back...got hassled for 3 hours and then let go.....no tickets.

Thanks Brother! I enjoy the cave as much as I do the toys. I just cleaned the boat up from towing. It was filthy when I took the pics. Here are few of it clean and some of the cave. Now I just need to clean the freightliner. It is a JOB to detail both of these things!! I swear they start growing. :D

A few of the cave. My flatscreen collection is growing. Everytime we make an upgrade in the house or RV, I put the old ones in the cave. I have 4 screens down one wall already. You have to keep up on games while wrenching and detailing. :D

Anytime my wife asks how much it cost to fill up either one of them........I say "It was about $150.00". She looks at me and says "You know thats really not bad for how big it is." Sometimes it better to keep them in the dark on some things. :D

F-2 Speedy 09-20-2014 08:19 PM

U need to ditch that snappy box for a MATCO LOL

aquaholic58 09-20-2014 08:21 PM

That is a all around sweet set up. You are now my inspiration thank you.

Sydwayz 09-20-2014 08:29 PM

Nice looking setup all around.


QQ: Front port side of the boat, just under the rub rail, what are the hashmarks in the white stripe of the paint? Is that a vent or a drain?

bikepilot 09-20-2014 08:32 PM

Great looking setup!

It's a vent on both sides.

I really appreciate the compliments Jupiter. You definitely have to pay attention with it. It's hard to really get a handle on how big the rig really is until you see it in person. 92' long. 13' 5" tall and 60,000#'s. :D

pullmytrigger 09-22-2014 12:55 AM

Man you guys must have some big wide open launch ramps. You'd be jammed up and high centered all over the place around here

On my last boat just before I towed it, I would wash and rinse it well. Then when it's clean, wash it with Dawn dish soap and not rinse it. Leaving the Dawn dish soap allowed the soot from exhaust and road grime to attach to the soap. When I got to my destination I would rinse the soap AND soot-road grime off in one shot. Boat is now squeaky clean.
The soot and road grime doesn't get into the paint and gel coat.

I use the same process for my boat on the lift in the slip. I come back to bird and spider poop all over the boat. Rinse it off with the garden hose and nothing sticks. Dawn dish soap is a real time saver for me.
