Tim, We "motored" my first Sov 33 from Houston to NOLA and back twice, my second Sov. from NYC to Biloxi. From Biloxi to St.Pete and back. I also helped shuffle a buddies J-29 around the gulf coast a few times. We won't even go into road trips w/ J-24s. Then there was the infamous 3 man tag team from Houston to KWRW w/ a Tripp 36. That was the only one we had permits for, also the only one we got hassled in 2 states. I guess I missed my calling...should've been a long haul trucker...mercy sakes alive...looks like we got us a convoy...Ya got a copy, Duck! Want to keep your WHOLE PAYCHECK?
