Movin south from NH to NC

[Skinny]

I will be packing up my M1031 and going from Portsmouth, NH to Wilmington, NC the third week of August for new employment. If anyone is going to be on a seacoast route southbound (no NYC, F the GW tolls) I would be more than happy to convoy. I plan to be cruising between 55-65 mph but can keep it on the lower end for a bigger rig. I will be carrying full tools as well.

Wow. I understand it's new employment but do you think you would be able to dissappear for a day or two in Oct for the rally? Be safe brother.

 

[Skinny]

Unfortunately I have no idea what kind of work schedule I am getting into but I certainly will go if time permits.

Thank you

Welcome to the south! I am right up the road from you in a small town called Newport (look for Morehead City).

What is your planned route? I have to move my 923 and skid steer to central NC might be interested in running along. I am in Central NY now.

 

[Skinny]

I really have no planned route other than to stay out of NYC. If I venture into PA and run inland instead of I95, I know I have to fight mountains instead of traffic. If I run mid day through that neck of the woods, I will go I84 and throughout NJ. I'm really game for anything.

What is your departure time looking like? I'm fairly open but need to be down in NC by the end of the 3rd week of August.

 

[wheelspinner]

I won't be back from OH til the 20th or 21st. Prob won't work with your timeline.....

 

[Skinny]

If I could be down by the 23rd, I'm fine with that. Any further out and I'm stepping on toes.

Where are you moving to in NC?

 

[wheelspinner]

Not sure if I can pull that off. Lets see how it goes for a bit. Sure would be nice to have company for the drive

 

[Skinny]

Sure thing...no worries either way

Frank: What type of MV do you have?

 

[Skinny]

Made it going 55mph and 13.5mpg

Only victims were my back, the coolant reservoir, and some choppy unbalanced Goodyears!

 

[Recovry4x4]

Is that it Skinny, it's done? Is this a permanent move? Hope to see you in Oct.

 

[Skinny]

All moved in to an apartment, not a big fan but need to live a simple life while taking a new job with a start up company. This will be permanent as long as the company grows. Eventually I would like to bring my boat down and live on the water again. Until then my Cuck Vee is parked in a swarm of compact cars

I will put the event on the calendar and keep my fingers crossed!

Glad to hear the trip went smooth. Will you be driving the M1031 back to NH to pick up the boat?

 

[Skinny]

Nope

The 79 Mainship 34 weighs about 15,000 pounds. The 6.2 had a hard enough time with itself coming down. Realistically, any man only needs what is in that photo...a boat, an MV, and maybe a small arsenal or firearms

DOUBLE THE ADVENTURE!! (Something about a large boat that attracts me and it isn't the $ they drink quite regularly)

God bless,

NH and ME are awesome! I spent the last ten years of my life living there and if it weren't for a new job opportunity I'd still be kicking it in New England. All of this with exception to Massachusetts. That communist state can burn!

The Mainship is powered with a single Perkins turbo diesel. It will cruise between 6-8 knots burning between 1.5 to 2.5 gph. Top speed is about 10-12 at 6.5 gph, definitely a cheap boat to run if you are not in a hurry.

 

[fitz]

Nice boat. For some reason I was thinking it was gonna be an 18' bowrider you had to cruise around the lakes of NH.
As far as Mass, your dead on.

Welcome to NC!
I'm over in Raleigh, but have a job that has me all over the state, so our paths should meet at some point...

This weekend, I'm hosting the VA rally at my Godparent's farm just north of Charlottesville, VA.
In the spring (March/April-near Easter...), we have the NC Rally over in Denton, NC (just a between Charlotte and Asheboro).
We also have a convoy up to Aberdeen, MD for the MV show in June.
