I'm back

[fuelhauler]

Went to the dark side for a year but we are back with a new TC. Bought a used 2009 5vr last September didn't use it much. Then this April bought a 2014 16' Smokercraft boat. Needless to say you can't legally tow behind the 5vr in this state it was time to go back to a TC. Getting the 2014 Arctic Fox set up to tow our boat now.

Aye, that triple slide is definitely a treat, though she'd kill my poor pickup if I tried to pull it with her :p.

Got the misses moved in properly with me now ;).

Yup, moved into a new space with a 38' Heartland Bighorn :), campers off the truck in the barn waiting for me to finish lowering it in preparation to remove all the jacks and de-skin the unit for repairs.

Reality-Check I don't have a host site for posting pics. of the boat I'm a little technophobic.

lol, and I'm lazy.

Love our Smoker.. hence the request.

I have the current list with restrictions. Oregon, Washington & Hawaii are the only 3 states on the west coast that doesn't allow it. On the eastern seaboard from Maine to Florida except Maryland it is not allowed. There are 32 states that allow it. Do some searching on the net & you can find the list.

Add CA to that list.

It may be against the rules in CA but I see it often. Those I know that do it say they have never been stopped.

The Smokercraft is a wide stable boat. Wished they had a closer dealer when I was boat shopping.

Congrats, and welcome back to the TC ranks.

Screw it; I'll ask. We all know what the 1140 looks like. I want to see the boat 🙂
