Yup! OH, I forgot to mention... it's a 1990 24' Maxum with a 330hp 454 w/ Bravo One... Hit's 60mph on the GPS... Not bad for a boat with a bed, sink, and toilet!

Hmmmm I sold my gun collection, boat, quad, both sport bikes & computers. There are days when I do get alot of enjoyment & have some fun with this....

Well this is not a toy....& I don't own it. I am responsible for this 225 thousand dollar beast 40 hours a week. At my disposal is a robotic arm with the ability to lift 1500 pounds with the gripping force of 4000 pounds per square inch. Direct control for the arm comes from the 8 position joystick that's controlled by an air/electric over hydraulic system with a high flow computer controlled hydraulic pump run off the 350 HP intercooled turbo charged Mack engine, which I happen to sit next to in the cab. She goes 67000+ loaded and takes 350to 400 feet to stop from 55mph(loaded). Operating this thing is multitasking to say the least. While operating the arm I am driving, watching out for parked cars, kids on bikes, home owners who insist on reloading cans and stepping in front of the grippers, traffic in general, monitoring the engine vitals, communications equipment & talking to my lovely wife via the bluetooth hands free. For my amusement I have crushed, destroyed and otherwise mangled washing machines, dishwashers, 60+ TV's(messy) & a half dozen mail boxes(by mistake of course)..lol. Snow removal is another one of the fun things I get to do. After hour 15 or 16 it gets old but the first couple of storms are always fun. Nothing like a 5to 10ft high wall of snow coming off the blade to strip mail boxes off of posts. 14 in a row was my record...lol Funny until I had to repair them the next morning when it was 14 degrees out. Sure it's work but hey works what you make of it.

Too bad it doesn't float. You could use it to retreive boats!

[Eyekandyboats]

why would you use it as a retrieval boat ?? its a garbage truck not a boat nor a retrieval boat :S
