Title: first boat
Post by: dustinpedroza on July 23, 2015, 12:53:52 AM

Pretty stoked on my first boat. Literally have been waiting years for this. Got a hell of a deal thanks to my buddy. 1970 Rogers Cyclone. The guy started out at 2 grand and i eventually talked him down to $1100. Solid hull and gel coat. Came with a Ford 460 that doestn run and hasnt ran in 10 years. but i think all in all i came up FAT! Just cant wait to get her running and drop some carpet and cables. Ill be pulling it with a 4x2 Xterra which im pretty sure will get the job done until it comes time to pull out of the water. will just have to wait and see.

used to pull my boat with a 67 Nova straight 6 with Hurst 4 speed shifter, oh man the pull out at Big Bear lake was a bitch, I think you'll be okay.

I pulled an 18 ft Horizon up Chiriaco grade to the river dozens of times with a single leg 4 cylinder Toyota.  I could still stay at 55+ all the way up with a good run at the bottom.  It ain't the tuggin' you need to worry about near as much as the stopping in a panic. Vehicles light is n the back can really surprise you at the worst times.  Be careful out there.
