Did you think he was going to slow down because it was raining ? He does not even slow down on a storm with a broken windshield. He is July guy, the June trip is a fluke.
Going like a bat out of hell @Berrie. Started at 3:30 am in the morning and hauling ass at 70 mph , taking turns with my friend non stop. Slept for 2 hrs in a rest area. Other times is in the truck backseat.
Excellent. Thanks @Betik
That's the plan, Funny thing is, as soon as we stopped for the night, it stopped raining. Gotta say, coming down 81 instead of 95 has been refreshing as the views are amazing and traffic is minimal, even during rush hour. Up and down mountains has chewed through fuel a bit more than the flatter 95 would have, but I'm still getting 15.9 mpg out of the ecodiesel and also still haven't used any noticeable amount of DEF. Also. the 2018 Cover I picked up from my dealer has performed way beyond expectations and towing with the tower down and covered is definitely the way to go on long hauls. Super, super happy so far.
I thought I felt a disturbance in the force here in Jax last night...now I know what it was! LOL
You want the color of the letters to be black or are they going on a black hull?
sc rest area 5am... Get a move on!
I agree this trip can be done easily with out extra fuel on a ski but I would always caution people that to remember that means straight there no trying to help other boats out or goofing off as there is no back up. In 2015 @Andy S and I almost ran out of fuel on the skis and we did have extra fuel and still made it in on fumes. We were assisting other boats and making sure a few others got in safely but in that process neglected out own fuel situation to assist others it was close even with the extra 5 gallons we brought.
On the plus side, I've got a bunch of extra DVD's for the West Palm party this evening. (Minus the "special interest" category, Rob bought all of those).
You know you can press a button and silence the beep, right? Apparently I never told my wife that and she went about 10 miles with it screaming at her on the Hilton Head trip this year.
