re: shipping a boat internationally from C.R. to U.S.?

Posted by TexasTiger on 7/31/25 at 8:37 am to TopWaterTiger

Have you looked into US based Freight Forwarders that do a lot of business in Costa Rica.

Being a bay boat it should not be to far out of gauge. Should be able to ship on a container vessel as break bulk cargo. Vessel line should be able to load it onto a flat rack and block and brace it for the transit over. I would expect something close to 10-15k for a shipment like this. Because of the numbers of times the cargo will have to be touched.

re: What truck would the OB want for towing 8-10x a year?

Posted by TexasTiger on 7/29/25 at 4:51 pm to DownshiftAndFloorIt

I have heard that towing with an SUV can lead to transmission getting warmer because of the design of SUV Body vs a Truck body and the amount of air flow or lack of air flow a SUV body allows. Anyone else heard of this or that just BS.

Agree my crew cab 4x4 2500 gas truck has a payload capacity of almost 3800lbs

Sorry missed that part. I have been on the fence about jumping into the TT world myself. I have a 2500 gas truck and I am looking at 30’ or less I don’t think I would want a 35’+ pull behind at that point I think I would just go 5th wheel.

I assume you know this already but your family of five is part of your payload capacity, along with anything else you have inside your truck that you have added since driving it off the lot. Eats into 1500lbs fairly quickly

If it’s just for the kids to wet a line give Mary Jo Peckham park. There is also John Paul Landing park north of Katy. But depending on where you are at in Katy most of these master planned communities like cinco ranch are loaded with neighborhood ponds. Just be careful some allow fishing and some don’t so do your research because the Karen’s will show up.

High speed jets it sure sounds like. Pull that carb, and soak it. Spray in carb cleaner likely won't get it done.

This is the answer, had a 90 Yamaha that would have this exact issue. Clean the high speed jets and she was good to go.

re: Purchase parts and expect me to put them on...

Posted by TexasTiger on 2/4/25 at 1:53 pm to Pirate0714

I guess it depends on what exactly we are talking about. But I heard of people buying things for there cars and trucks and having them put on by a 3rd party and basically the deal was he got charged an hourly rate but would offer no warranty since the parts did not come from said shop.

Prediction was 2-2.5” for my part of Katy, seems to be pretty spot on. Have about an inch so far

Tic I will tell you when you start having to fix the little things that happen on trucks of this age look hard for motor craft when available. I have wasted a ton of time dealing with shitty replacement parts that don’t work worth a shite from the after market side of parts.

Congrats to the both of you. I had a similar experience with my daughter around that age. You would have thought she killed a state record when we saw him hit the ground if you would have been hunting around us lol. Those memories last forever and glad y’all got to share such an amazing memory together.

Yeah duals would be nice since I think he only has a 12 or 14 gallon tank

My son drives a 96 F-150 single cab but his is 4wd. He has BFG all terrains on his. There wasn't a lot of options in today’s world for a 15” factory ford rim to choose from. I wish his would have come with the 4.9, but has the 5.0 with a manual transmission.

re: Anyone dip?

Posted by TexasTiger on 7/21/24 at 11:01 am to braves21

Can a day guy here. Started using the Rouge nicotine pouches because at 7-8 bucks a day for a can of dip it adds up quick. Still will dip when I am doing outdoor activities but my dipping has slowed down considerably with the nicotine pouches.

Have a 2024 2500hd gas. So far so good but it’s only got 2500 miles on it. Traded in a 2010 1500 with 200k. First year of this new “Allison” transmission so keeping my fingers crossed.

Recently went to one at Top Golf in Houston. Pretty large private room was actually a pretty good time, food won’t blow you away but open bar was nice and it came with 4 or 5 bays to play. The 35 and under crowd had a good time playing.

re: Furthest distance to tow a boat

Posted by TexasTiger on 12/17/23 at 9:56 am to El Segundo Guy

As stated already have some parts with you before you start. Check your trailer over carefully, make sure your leaf spring hardware is in good condition. Pro fisherman tow theirs thousands of miles thru out the year it can be done. Age and condition of the trailer would be the deciding factor for me.
