Here are some I pictures of my 18 on the Rolls 2160. In my opinion the best trailer available on the market.

Chris...I WANT YOUR 18!!! I love the yellow, the black interior, and the clean & unique lines resulting from having no stripe. Wouldn't selling it to me provide you with a year, or so, of tuition? Thanks for the pics!

Pictures make the winter go faster!

Thanks Tony. The boat is my pride and joy. She gets whatever is needed. Luckily my girlfriend is understanding. I am just in the middle of converting to a Bravo. I had a Volvo and was unhappy with the steering and lack of trim and tilt and a free alpha came my way so I did the transom rebuild and tried that. Better drive in terms of steering helmet design and trim but the actual drive part is in my humble opinion lackluster at best. I blew one last year ( with 260 hp), the microswitch that is used to "cut" the engine to relieve gear tension so it will come out of gear is finiky at best and I just have no confidence in it. ( Sorry to the alpha guys out there) So Bravo here we come. I am hoping to get the better drive charecteristics of the Volvo and the better integration of the Alpha. We will see. 3 drives in 3 years ...I better like this one. I also am looking ( if budget allows) to building a healthy 350 or a 383 so the extra strength will be appreciated. Some people think I was crazy not to put the stripe on and I had all intention of doing it. However once I painted it yellow I just fell in love with the simplicity so it stayed that way. The boat will be at Cumberland this year and I will be happy to take you for a ride. Tuition??? What is that??? wink wink wink ( All kidding aside I am lucky enough to go to school for free).

Steve,

Nope the 18 is my handiwork. I did the bodywork and the primer on the 22. Scott did the final shoot.

CDMA, nice, now, who owns the JAG? Nancy has been itching for the 4 door seadan, but we don't know any owners to give us an honest opinion.

Bryan,

Thanks. It isn't a jag. It's a 1997 E class Benz ....ahemmmmm diesel. My dad buys a new diesel mercedes every 10 - 15 years. He always laughs as me and says my luxury car costs more to buy but your mom's vans and Suv's break twice as much so it works out about even. I have to say that personally I am only a fan of Diesels in Trucks but that car has been amazing. About 80K on it and it feels as tight as the day we got it. The car has been faultless and is built like a bank vault. At 80 it feels like 30. The car handles and drives amazingly. Not the most sporty but that isn't what it was built for. Oh and this is funny...35+ mpg.-

Chris
