i would like to say that we had a safe trip. nothing went wrong. got the boat. and were home safe & sound.
These are the states we went throught.
CALIFORNIA, NEVADA, UTAH, COLORADO, KANSAS, MISSOURI, ARKANSA, OKLAHOMA, TEXAS, NEW MEXICO, ARIZONA, BACK TO NEVADA, AND THEN BACK TO LA. 11 states folks. it was a BLAST. we had a great time. we got to see the country, fortunatly we didn't hit any of the storm in the missouri area. after we picked the boat up. we headed for ARKANSA, as soon as we go into arkansa we had heard the the storm hit the same spot the boat was. jawdrop i was with 4 of my friends. we went with my friends Astro van. and it acually towed good for a change. lolll
here are (some) pics.
how fast we were traveling. http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/500/59DSC01302-med.JPG some pictures of the ZION National park. http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/500/59DSC01327-med.JPG http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/500/59DSC01319-med.JPG

The boat looks clean & well worth the road trip. Congrats. :D 100MPH TOWING IN A MINI VAN? I didnt even think mini vans could go 100mph, let alone tow at 100mph.
Glad you made it home in one piece.

eric I knew that was coming, I would have went chevy, but in 99' they didnt offer the quad cab, like dodge did. Chevy's design team must have been a little slow. I also think the 2003 dodge ram makes the 2003 chevy silverado look silly.

maybe so but the power and turning ability is still not right on the Dodge. one thing i do like about the new RAMS, is that they have the biggest braking system in there class.
