XCR1250 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) Yesterday afternoon an elderly woman was launching a fishing boat for her husband, while pulling out the trailer she forgot the vehicle was in reverse and backed into the lake, the vehicle turned 180* and floated out into deeper water, she couldn't get out, several of us got in the water and broke her window and pulled her out, 10 seconds later the vehicle sunk.

Eventually we got Dodge caravans that were way better vehicles. I loved both my Astros. Awd enough juice to pull a 2 place no prrob and ran 4 ever . And decent mpg .Both of mine were light conversion from a local place called Waldoch so they had the face to face benches with a table that dropped down to make a bed in back . I would buy another if they still made them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ride the bike to one of the local ramps at least 2 times a mo just to sit back and chill . One real close to my house has a nice little picnic table between the beach and the launch best of both worlds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
