another cool tow vehical/boat

[david_r]

a guy working on my wifes computer at work took this pic at a motel near his house......... or way to work.

its a replica of a bass boat, only much larger, according to the owner.

apparently there was a crowd around it and when he saw it he had to stop too.

the truck is a big rig, brand unknown, with a regular truck body fabricated to fit.

here it is....... sorry pic is small, i couldnt figure out how to enlarge it.

Wish it was bigger, the old eyes aren't what they used to be.
As for the truck its an F650 or something similar.

Re: another cool tow vehical/boat

i have tried to make it bigger.

my email pic is 640X480 but photobucket wont allow me to download it bigger than what it is....... 320X ? or what ever it is.

if someone can tell me how i will make it bigger.............. sorry, im stupid when it comes to computers...... lol.

Re: another cool tow vehical/boat

i couldnt figure out how to save the larger image download change........... i had like 5 or 6 too many tool bars and it wouldnt allow me access to the save button................. now i really feel dumb lol

the ford dealer i worked at wasnt large enough to sell trucks that big so i dont know if its a f650 or not. the guy who took the pic said they fabricated/custom made the whole out fit.............. i dont even know if the boat is custom.. but i would take either or both

but this is a bigger pic so it may help.

I know International was making a rig with a pickup body. It was a big monster of a thing. Might be one of those.

And then I look at our boat !!!! at least I don't have to store it anywhere and my fuel bill is much less.

Looks like a topkick truck.

And replica of a bass boat????

 

[david_r]

Re: another cool tow vehical/boat

thats the way he described it to me in the email............... he said "its a replica of a bass boat on a much larger scale"

it looks like it was made more for fun than fishing.......... but if it were mine i would probably use it for fishing .

the first thing i thought was----------- doest it have a trolling motor.

then---------- how big are the livewells.

then---------- how fast is it......... after these thoughts i began to drool

Re: another cool tow vehical/boat

That doesn't have nough glitter on it to be a lure, much less a bass boat.

Just looks like a go fast boat.

Re: another cool tow vehical/boat

ya know i never really thought about that but you are right.

by the way, why are bass boats painted with metal flake?????

i guess thats probably one of those "thats just how it is" answers

i would like to have one but i can barely afford to feed mine....... i couldnt even imagine the fuel bill from something like that

Re: another cool tow vehical/boat

The truck is a F650. My roommate has one. New they go for around 100k. He bought His for about 25k totaled, and rebuilt it.

The boat looks like a tunnel boat possibly, a Dave's Custom boat? looks sweet though!!!!

Re: another cool tow vehical/boat

Wow now that is a BOAT and TRUCK. Tony Soprano didnt even have a boat that big.

Re: another cool tow vehical/boat

That's not an F650, it is a topkick. I blew the pic up and it's profile looks like this topkick.

Re: another cool tow vehical/boat

Yeah, looks like an offshore racing boat.

Re: another cool tow vehical/boat

He probably pays more just to start that boat than I do for a house payment!!! Lucky @*%@#@%

Re: another cool tow vehical/boat

I can't tell if its an F650 or a Topkick, but its one or the other. Its not a body grafted onto a tractor. I also agree that its a tunnel hull, go fast boat.

Here's the larger image, with some exposure adjustment and sharpening.
