PK's rides

Ok ok ok, I submit.

Other nameless members have been hassling me to upload a photo of my VX.
Thanks Ldub and VX Kat.

So here tis -

Old photo of the VX taken before the cladding restoration and larger tyres installed.


And my other love - the boat that I bought the VX to tow. 2200 lbs in the water. 2750 lbs when you include the trailer.


I was waiting until it was detailed and looking spico, but I bow to the pressure.

So, now I am out of the closet - it feels good.
Oops - sorry, wrong topic, wrong forum.

....

Nice PK!...

The boat looks about as unique as the VX.

Very nice PK.

Is it true that BOAT is just an acronnym for Bring Out Another Thousand?

The two happiest day's in a boat owner's life: the day he buys ... & the day he sells.

Just as JEEP is an acronym for "Just Empty Every Pocket"...

In reality, a boat is a semi dry spot in a body of water, into which one throws money...

A little TJ, but since you're in Hobart and you own a boat, what do you think of the Sea Shepherd group?

Well, first up, I agree with banning whaling.
They are absolutely magnificent creatures that never deliberately injure humans.
I have seen them close up (less than 150') from my boat - mother and calf, and the mother swan parallel to us just watching, but always between us and the calf.
Also seen several others from the shore, and from tourist boats.

That said, and at the risk of starting WW3, I think the Sea Shepard is manned by sea cowboys that have no right putting their, and others, lives at risk while they carry on with their media catching exploits in the open ocean.

I am involved in the Marine Industry, and all in the local industry knew that high tech boat was never coming back from down there.
It was just plain stupid.

If they used the money that is obviously behind them, to fight the Japanese in the World Courts, they would have a better chance of stopping the whaling, and not put anyone's life at risk.

Yes I would donate towards funding a fight in the courts, but not to stupidity.

Sorry guys and gals - Rant over.

Agreed on all points. Thus endeth the TJ.

Since you bought the VX to haul the boat...


...how about loading the VX on the boat, sailing it on over to the U.S. west coast and joining us for in Moab in May!

Don't tempt me Billy.
I would love to be there.

One year all the planets will line up and I will make it.

Or if we ever got that International meet going that was discussed some time ago, I would be there.
