Default Even the new trailer is getting pimped. Trailer wheel pix.

The new boat is getting built and I figured if we were going to have a slick looking new boat and tow vehicle, might as well pimp the trailer.

The trailer will be platinum silver with full clear LED taillights, diamond plate and stainless fenders, etc. We decided to put some bitchen looking 17" wheels instead of the lame steel chrome 15"s that most boat trailers have.

The trailer place told me they got the wheels today. This is what we are putting on. What do you think? Our Silver tow vehicle is getting black with a polished lip in 22"s or 24"s as well.

Wouldn't that make a MUCH rougher ride for the boat?

Less sidewall?

Yes, but it looks badarse...LOL..


We don't trailer very far. We are 15min from the lake or we leave it in Havasu and our garage there is literally 2 min from the launch.

Nice choice on the wheels for the new trailer. Can't wait to see the new boat/trailer/tow rig all together as a package. Hopefully with your scantily clad wife posed next to or on it.

The boat is going to be sick. The interior alone will blow you away; pewter and silver carbon fiber vinyl through out.

We can't wait. The only bad part so far is our current boat is not sold. We will probably end up with 2...LOL

Wife scantily clad,,,, thats a given...LOL

BTW, the trailer will be so pimped that Xibit is going to come by and tug on my shirt sand say "You've been pimpped". LOL

Well thats good. I just have bad memories of towing our boat from Atlanta to Key West with 2 1300cc Yamaha Jet Ski's...worst...ride...ever.

The trailer just sucked and it was a nightmare pulling it.

If I'm not mistaken Spin works for Harley-Davidson, as I've had a few conversations with him regarding bikes, and me possibly purchasing one at some point. I was looking for more info, so I contacted him.

I was gonna say something about that too, but hadn't gotten around to it.

There are wheels out there available that are branded with the Hot Wheels name and logo. Looks like Spin got some for his trailer.

I currently work for Harley Davidson. We are in the top 3 small to medium sized dealerships in the U.S. so I tend to keep very busy.

It is a good job, but the market is changing and I am thinking of leaving the business. I would like to really like to start my own business here in the near future. I have worked for HD for about 5 yrs and I am due for a change.

My wife and I are pretty smart with our money. We have NO credit card debt and no car payments. Those are two big items that will get you into a hole fast. I gave up a lot of things a while back (tricking out cars, big home stereos, living at the beach, etc) to buy my first house a few yrs ago, and now it has paid off. We have owned 4 homes in the past 4 yrs and make money on every one. Buying a home is one of the smartest things you can do.

Our new boat is cool, but it is not my dream boat. In the next 2-3 yrs we will buy an Ilmor powered (Marine prepped 625hp Viper V-10 engine) Trident deck boat. It is the fastest deck boat in the world. With 625hp it will run over a 100mph. I am very good friends with the owner and he will take care of me. We just don't have a place to put it currently. They are a hair over 28 feet and until I have the garage at home to put it in, I wont buy it. Our new boat is around 23foot plus trailer etc and it fits great in our garage.

This is the Trident. And a link to Ilmor Marine engines...cool stuff. http://www.ilmor.com/gallery.html

LOL, that is not our next boat. That will be our next, next boat..LOL.

Like I stated, our new boat is awesome, but not as bad ass as that Trident deck boat. They are very different boats. Our new boat is single purpose... to go fast. That deck boat I posted pix of goes fast and carries a lot of people.

Dude, Spin, you make my boss's boat look like garbage. He's got a 32 foot Bayliner. Now, the guy in the slip next to him has a bad ass boat powered by twin 502's. I can't recall what exact brand that guy's boat is, but it's bad to the bone.

It almost looked like I pimped a trailer today in this picture from our 24 Hours of Lemons thread.

Oh, I was talking about your wife. The boat/trailer is just a bonus.
