So after somewhere in the area of 1500 miles traveled, the sibling to the V163 is home. 67 V164
Left at 5:00 am Sat morning for our road trip to Howell Mi (between Lansing and Detroit. We needed a road trip anyways, but after the hair raising trip skirting Chicago, we decided to take the northern route home, which I added a couple of hours. GPS said approx 10 1/2 to get there. We arrived there about 4:3.0 PM (with a time zone change) I was worried about the tires of course, but they held up. The bearings did start throwing grease on the wheels but I kept an eye on them and checked occasionally to make sure they were not getting hot. Fortunately, we had no problems, other than filling the Montero many times with gas!
We spent the night in Clare Mi. knocking a couple hours off our drive home on Sat.
The PO's, Nick and Dawn were very nice people to hold it for us, after having many offers on it, including a large flat screen and an ATV. Guess their son was bummed they didn't go for the atv! They purchased it from the original owners son. Used it little and the out drive started leaking fluids. Parked it for 3 years, after having it winterized.
Its not water ready. Needs some out drive work and I don't think I can be seen on the water with the "fishin boat seats" but we'll see.
I looked at the brochures last night and this model only came with a 120. I was hoping for more, but it should move fine and likely be pretty fuel efficient.
It will be nice to have one with the canopy cover.
Some pics.
