I did it about a month or so ago. I drove about 27 hours straight. From st.louis missouri to los angeles to pick up a new to me boat. Round trip cost me about $800 in gas. But it was worth it. Got to go to the needles and havasu. Its gorgeous there. Well worth it!! Heres a pic of what i picked up. Original interior and original gel from 78

Yea, your not TO far from me, I'm 3 hrs from KC. There's a few floats down by you I've looked at, but nothing trips my trigger.

And yea, if I got a turn key boat out there I could run it on a few of the local lakes befor dragging it 1000s of miles home.  I know MO is different from NE, but how hard was it to get your boat titled in a different state?

So Cal $5500 complete Miller. If it is as clean as it looks, this is a great deal.

Crusader is a good hull.

I saw that a little bit ago, I love the color scheme it has going, the only downside *I feel* is that's quite a bit when it still needs a pump.
