#3

I've got a feeling this one should last awhile.

Although I do think it's kinda sketchy for @worldturbo to put their watermark on photos that *I* took. Plus they got ALL the details wrong. hah.

I know the feeling my bikes (my trucks intended cargo) are featured on the front page of the XLBoard this month. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy.

That's pretty cool. Love the truck.

I just found out today that a company has been using a picture of my boat for their ads to sell LED lighting. Sad thing is the lights didn't come from them but my distributor as I do that as a side gig.

They got the "Chevy" and "Blazer" part right. Maybe they got their details mixed up with Buick build? lol

I've just got a little Sea Ray 200BR. Its very humbling to get pasted by guys like you, but hey I'm out on the water :lol:

Nice Sunny btw. I've always liked them. I've wanted a 26-28' performance boat for a while, but we don't get out that much anymore and Jen and the kid like the open bow too much.

Thanks man, I like your rig too, and you're absolutely right that being on the water > not being on the water :)

We've used ours a lot more than I thought we would this summer. I think my next rig will be a mid-cuddy/open-bow 288 or 32 Sunny to give the kids some more room to spread out and bring friends along.

They aren't complaining at all right now though. lol

Anyway, back to trucks...she moved under her own power a couple nights ago with some help from Farm Shop, and we have our annual car-show at work tomorrow, so I made it just in time!

Thanks. Running real good. Switched back to E85, getting ready to turn up the wick on it :)

I'm planning to turn it up to about 20 psi...maybe more. We'll have to see.

So far so good. Went on a VERY "spirited" cruise with a bunch of buddys yesterday...some serious hardware, and the ol' family truckster held her own very well. E85, 10 psi.

Got a little bit of grab-ass in with my buddy's 600 whp Z06. The Clunker did pretty well considering the Z06 weighs 1000 lbs less. lol
