Hello Everyone! Just picked up a 07 Tahoe 4x4 a few weeks ago and stumbled across this forum. Im on another forum for my Duramax and have gained a ton on knowledge from it so i hope i can do the same here for the Tahoe! Little about me...im a Lift Boat captain in the GOM...work 2 weeks on 2 weeks off. Live in Cantonment, FL (Pensacola).

I know right where Crestview is. My GF was working over there on the construction project at the base.

Hello =) Congrats on your new Tahoe. Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks...its the GFs ride mostly but its nice to not put so many miles on my truck now when we go places together. i hate getting in and out of cars. traded in her 07 monte carlo SS on the tahoe. the MC was fun to drive but no so fun for me to crawl in and out of lol.

Congrats welcome! When you say lift boat, u mean like a jack up boat?

 

[JJones]

Yes...lift boat, Jack up same thing. Here is a pic of one i used to run...been off of it for about a year now and dont have any pics of the one im on now on photobucket. i will try to get some pics of the new one up tomorrow.

I used to do a lot of offshore work, not as much now. I have been on my share of jack ups, couldn't tell you any names of the ones I have been on. Have you ever had anybody that worked for powerchokes, sorry they are known as Expro now on your boats?

 

[JJones]

I have worked with some Expro guys in the past. been a wile though. I work for Superior Energy Services...im sure you have heard of them before.

 

[eanmizell]

I have, I work for a smaller company called bronco oilfield services now. It would have been about two years now since my last jack up experience. Regardless welcome to the site and I hope you enjoy it!
