LIMO HAULING A BOAT? YEP, A SIGHT YOU'LL ONLY SEE IN TEXAS
ABC13 ^ | Monday, March 06, 2017

Posted on 03/06/2017 8:22:52 PM PST by nickcarraway

In all of the "only in Texas" moments, this sight at a Baytown Buc-ee's may take the cake.

As seen in the viral video on Facebook, Josh Wilson captured a limousine hauling a Starcraft Marine boat at Buc-ee's.

Yes, an awkward sight.

"It caught me off guard for a second, but then I thought to myself heck yeah that's what I'm talking about," Wilson told ABC13.

From a crawfish using its local Buc-ee's to make a grand 'escape,' to the rest stop being named the best in America, you can't escape Buc-ee's!

That’s the cheapest boat I’ve seen a wealthy guy pulling.

It’s a small size pontoon boat with a park bench for a seat.

Yep. A mid 90s model Lincoln. The boat is worth more than the limo.

Definitely up there on the “Redneck scale”, if you know what I mean.

I remember back in the day on road trips we would count how many of those silver Gulfstream trailers were pulled by pickups and how many by Cadillacs. IIRC it was about even.

Well, why not? You can find everything else at Buc-ee's.

Only in Texas.... I saw a Harley with 4 sacks of concrete strapped to the back seat. I will have to dig that picture out of my archives

Older limos are cheap. Guy probably couldn’t afford a nice pickup.

Only socialistic liberals are offended obviously.

They should see my 2014 Escalade with the back end stuffed with a Cat 3306 cylinder head.

There’s nothing unusual about a car pulling a pontoon. The person that wrote this needs to get out more.

We pulled our pontoon 500 miles north into Manitoba with our Subaru Outback. Yes, the pontoon was only a 15 foot with a 25HP Evinrude, but it’s still a boat.

The Lincoln in the article is large & powerful enough to pull that 24’ pontoon with ease. I just don’t see anything out of the ordinary.

What are you working on with a 3306 in it?

I build Cat engines for a living.
