Hmm... I'll have to snag a pic next time I'm out, nothing like some of these in here though.

Although we can't tow this boat i figured i could post a pic of the motor since there some other 502s which i thought was cool

rwhit57 · 11-19-2011, 01:21 AM

I've posted this before, but I think it fits. My 85 towing 2 boats! Ok not really boats but they go in the water. Hey Toyhauler, on that Tahiti I noticed the steering wheel o the left, isn't that a bit unusual? Nice pics guys.

The same old photos I have posted before:

My exhaust sounds funny underwater when launching the boat!

Here's mine. I've towed this from Southern AZ to Lake County Florida and back twice. Long drive, especially thru Texas.

Here's my 83 K20 and 83 Eliminator 21' Sportcruiser.

I wouldn't think that way, you're either on the water or you're not.

Nice pics.

There's a little more to it than just launching. If you look at the pic you will see a set of wheels under the goose neck. I block the tires, all of them to hold it, lower the wheels unhook and connect a 60 ft cable to the trailer and the truck. Then pull the cable tight and remove the blocks and back the whole thing in the lake. The trailer is totally submerged before the boat floats off! It's about a half day project.
