So shrink wrapped my boat over the weekend. Get a call at 5 am from my driver that he's hooked up and on his way to Miami (from ohio). Hour later get a call "Houston we have a problem" Well on my brand new trailer one of the brackets that holds the breaking system on the back right wheel was loose and broke off getting lodged in the tires rim causing it to lock up. So now one hour into trip we already have one failure and delayed 3 hours. However... On the road again...
Will keep everyone posted on the next crazy thing to occur.
 
Looks like fun! I can't wait to get back on the road. Since I sunk my small fortune in the mfg business I have been hi perf boatless. I'll have our new 41 next year and we'll be all over the map!
 
build yourself one, while your at it, build sos one, ill showcase it for you.... yes i know, im a very nice man....:03::03:
 
Well............ Just got the "Houston we have a problem" Again...

They heard squealing then decided to go to the nearest ford dealer. Lucky the mechanics are willing to work late to fix the truck. I guess they burnt up the turbo.

Really? that sucks... I have not seen too many powerstrokes burning up a turbo, make sure they check oil flow to it!

From what I've researched it's one of the most common problems with the engine. At this point the old turbo is out and they are finishing up putting it all back together. They found a huge ford dealership and the mechanic was litterally driving off the lot for home. My buddy pleaded his case and pulled out some benjamins.
They are pissed and just going to tow through the night or untill the next problem...
 
oh boy... i had to switch out my turbo in my f450 within the first few months.. after that not one issue.. miss that truck...
 
Should of known it was going to be quite the day...
Saturday we had our "team dinner" and one of the guys on the trip got overly drunk, pissed on the floor in my condo, and ended up nearly naked.

What a start to the adventure...
