Dodge Interior.
But if you are interested in one of these, Click here RM Auction at Hershey in a couple weeks is the place to be. Heck, buy one and tow it home with your new Duesenberg model J something or other, I am sure they would install a tow hitch for you.
OUCH!
Wouldn’t you just be the cat’s pajamas then! Below are some great snap shots that Dave shot of both the Hacker Dolphin and Dodge.
Would you weld the hitch to the frame or use a bolt-on bumper hitch? Also would you be able to leave fast enough before they hog-tied you, roped you to said hitch and took you for a nice long drag down the road?
Wonderful boats.
Both boats are outstanding, but I have always loved the Dodge marque for its unique design and features, including the big Lycoming power. It’s probably very fortunate that I have a great wife and a happy marriage, or I could be tempted to take a trip to Hershey and do something rash.
I will split the gas money for the trip, Greg… let’s go
That 21.5 is a jewel of a boat.
Never seen a cat’s pyjamas, but having heard the expression many times, I assume they must be beautifully tailored indeed.
Still, they can’t compare with my knees.
I hope nobody leans on or tries to climb up on the Dodge for a better look…
Maybe that’s only a 1/16th desktop model of it. Otherwise if it’s windy keep the windows closed.
