    furhtest you towed your PWC?

    What is the furthest you towed your PWC to go on a trip or riding? I'm thinking of going on some trips and just wondering how far you have towed for a great trip?

    673 miles but not for trip - it was when moving from northeast to southeast

    Here in Tenn have only traveled to 2 other lakes - One 2 hours away, Watauga and another, Cherokee 45 minutes - Don't travel much because one of the largest, Douglas lake is right across the road

    Douglas

    Work on Douglas Dam began in February 1942 and was completed on a crash schedule in just 12 months and 17 days—a world record for projects of equivalent size. It is a hydroelectric facility. It has four generating units with a net dependable capacity of 111 megawatts.

    Douglas Dam is on the French Broad River in East Tennessee. The reservoir extends 43 miles upriver from the dam through the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains.

    Set against the backdrop of the Smoky Mountain foothills, Douglas Reservoir is a popular recreation destination, known for picnicking, camping, boating and fishing.

        Atlanta to Sarasota, couple of times.


        Regular maintenance on the trailer is key. Greasing the leaf springs and jacking the trailer up and checking and greasing the bearings, and lubing the hitch. Maybe twice a year and before any long trips for freshwater use, more often for saltwater.

            2,347 miles from the South Loop in downtown Chicago all the way to my new home in Santa Monica, 3 blocks from the Pacific Ocean. Had no problems on the hitch hauler.

                Sounds good man! Just picked up a mint bone stock 1995 waveblaster as well. Got a garage in Brentwood and we ended up getting an apartment on the 3rd street Promenade in Santa Monica.

                550 has the old half pipe off and need to get your old PJS 2500 on it. I'm itching to ride soon. I'll pm you my cell number

                    700 miles each way.

                    my next trip this summer is to bull shoals, 1142 miles each way... NOT looking forward to that drive, actually have considered just pitching in to rent a couple of ski's while up there just so I can fly instead.
                    The problem with normal is that it just keeps getting worse...

                    I would rather sit than quit...

                            Speed is very expensive. How fast do you want to spend?

                              Almost 400 miles, from Connecticut to the Chesapeake Bay in southern Maryland. Short season in New England, although we were still in Long Island Sound Halloween weekend.
