Picked up the boat in Ft Myers and headed south down to the keys. Cut them short and went through the bridge in Marathon where we spent the night. Next day ripped it north to Jupiter where a buddy of ours has a place. Hung around for a day in Admirals Cove with a whole bunch of rediculouslly rich people. Next day ripped another full day north 220 nm to St Augustine FL. Following day to Charleston SC after getting pounded pretty good all day in the Atlantic. Decided to tuck in ward to ICW up to Morehead NC. Parked a couple boats over from Michael Jordan’s boat, some huge ass Viking with a sweet wrap. Next day to Chesapeake VA, at a really cool place called the Atlantic Yacht Basin. Met this 74 year old pony tailed pot smoking hippy Trump hating dude named Bob. Helped with a minor repair and we were onto Atlantic City NJ the next day, Fire works for our entertainment that night was an un expected touch. Off the next day for the final leg to Mystic about 163 nm. Got about 50 miles out, starboard motor loses power and starts blowing some smoke. Long story short, had to limp it into Barnegat Bay and over to the Cummins dealer who claims the repairs are daily routine and bro should have it back by later this week. Wives drove 3 Hes to pick us up and rest is history. Boat has twin QSM-11 Cummins with like 600 hp each. Epic trip but wasn’t what I would call all fun or anything I feel like doing again anytime soon. That boat new, is some serious Benjamins. The interior alone is many thousands, let alone two big diesels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckf Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 It was time to pull the big girl out of the greenhouse so she can reach her full potential. The smaller one on the right will be getting transplanted in to a 15 gallon fabric pot with promix. The bigger one is already in a 15 gallon pot. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got it buttoned back up today I guess, him and my nephew are ripping the final 190 miles home first thing tomorrow. I rode with him for 8 days. Hellava adventure and for the most part, a good ass time. Repairs go with the game, especially when you run them 8-12 hrs a day a week at a time. A couple days we were pounding through some pretty rugged seas too.. We're not going to talk about what anything cost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin george Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I finally got it off the trailer today and went to the end of the road and back to check it out. It needs a tuneup, trans shifted good and the brakes work awesome. I've got it on jackstands now and pulled the wheels off to go and get the new tires on. I'm still taking it apart slowly to take it in for body/paint 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
