Hi guys,
Me thinks ShabahZ250 just likes to show off his BIG rig... and if he don't show at the meeting point, we're gonna need to rename him ShabahZ278! 
Seriously, Chris, what your doing for Tvacek can’t be expressed in words....., so he better have some BIG juicy steaks and beers grilling and chilling at the meeting place!!!
You guys take it smooth and easy and Chris, get some pics of your rig hooked up! 
Tvacek, for some name ideas, check out the links in post #7: Here

You didn't mention the most important thing you would have put in jeopardy. A vary rare Mariah.
All kidding aside have a safe trip.
As for the names. When I was naming mine a friend sent me about hundred suggestions. I would be happy to forward them all to you.

Well everybody, I'm back safe and and delivered Todd's boat to him yesterday afternoon in Cincinnati, where he arrived in a 3/4 Ton Dodge HD diesel to tow back to Omaha.
Full trip writeup to come within the next week, so keep your eye on the Trips & Travels section!
In the meantime, here's a pic or two of my tow combo as requested....

Glad to hear you made it safely. Now here's to hoping Todd does the same!

Hey everybody,
The boat and I are both safely at home...about 8 hours later than I expected, but the trip went wonderful. Borrowing the Diesel was probably the smartest thing I could have done.
Chris, thank you so much again for all of your help. I have your address, so keep your eye out for a nice & juicy box of Omaha Steaks.
I'd also like to mention that Chris went above and beyond the call of duty. Not only did he get the boat through the Appalachians, he went through the entire boat with a fine tooth comb, writing a list of things that may be needing attention. Fortunately, the list is short so I'll be getting started on that tomorrow.
I'll keep everybody updated with photos.... after it's buffed out of course. 
Once again, thank you all for the much appreciated information. I'm not sure what I would have done without the helpful resources of this website.
Take care!
Todd

Does the dog ski or wake board?
You got yourself a beauty there! (Honestly, I meant the boat)

Looking great! I knew it'd clean up with a little TLC. If that's only the first step, I can't wait to see it when it's done!!!
