HOOTERS

[EdDavisKY]

On my way to Bowling Green today on I-65 got passed by the Hooters team boat and suburban, all done up in Hooters logo and such. Started clocking him and he was towing that Ranger at 80-85 MPH
Not sure about the rest of you, but that is a little fast in my book.
And sure glad I am not paying his gas bill Towing a 21 ft Ranger w/ a gas guzzling suburban that fat lucky if he is seeing 8 -9 MPH.

So that is why I said HOOTERS Got everyones attention tho

And then some. All you have to do is to be driving behind Mike Daleo and you would be amazed at how fast they will go!

That Hooters boat your speaking of comes out of Ohio. He lives about 15 minutes from me, and fishes our B.A.S.S tourneys. Here is a picture of Brad's boat with a guy from our club fishing as his non-boater.



Here is a picture after our Rocky Fork Tourney.....

No their usually loaded down with fish

Jay thats the rig I saw, only the boat was covered.
He either had a hot date, or was in a big hurry to get some place to start pre-fishing.

Maybe your right Joe or maybe I didn't make myself clear. I have followed Daleo on several occassions while he was towing his boat and I was towing mine. If I wanted to stay with him there were times that I would have had to let off...way off to get down to 80!

I get about 13 mpg out of my set up its about the same as the hooters dude....

Not to be disrespectful but is that an estimate or actual and are you running 80 mph? I have an Escalade which is essentially the same vehicle and I can't get close to 13 MPG towing my 520...especially doing 80 mph.

[chicka boom]

John, That is what the digital read out says on the gauge cluster. I know its pretty much on when we are not pulling our boat I have never checked it when we were....... 05 denali @ 21 ft vx commanche .....No disrespect taken..

Only behind a truck going down the interstate!!!!!

Escalade and Suburban are not the same. I have paid the gas bill for both and neither is great but the Suburbans are cheaper to operate. Different engine. The Escalade had the 6.0 V8 vs. the 5.3 in the sub.
