Step #2 Attach some lines to the boat and have someone hold them
Step #3 Back up the truck until the top of the tires are wet and slam on the brakes
Step #4 Park the truck, get in boat and have fun!!!
Just kidding. PM me your phone # if you need some help and I'll meet you at the ramp and give you a hand.

Croozin ..I haven't laughed so hard in weeks! That shot is priceless! Ok so rocks are no biggee huh? I'm impressed..
Thanks to all of you for the suggestions and offers, Old school, Wild, Seafordguy,Jammin,Spitfire,and Biggus ,I'd love to get the Konrads but they may just be out of my pricerange
for the moment.
I have however gotten a line on some SSM#3 's and the
entire package would come in around 10K ,that may be my
budget or close to it and they still need install.
Any opinions on Speedmasters and redone trans w/extra
clutches..
Oh and Craig ,I now have a trailer but may need some pointers on offloading without a crane?Just how is that done..
Best to all ,thanks Bert
PS where do I sign up ,I've already got my dues
worth in advise..easy

If you think the Konrads are expensive, wait till you get the estimate on Converting to Bravos and doing the transom work, sorry to give you the news, but Konrads are going to the cheapest way to go once its all said and done

Well guys the update is that it's not sinking (of course).I think he's re-thought his attempt at undermining my determination
to re-rig and get a float this season.
Yeah,the gimbalhousing gasket didn't pass muster ,oh well
next, i damaged the boat by leaving unspent fuel aboard?Huh?
The closest I can compare this to is the Seinfeld episode
when the mechanic says you can't care for this car(Saab) as
well as me so I'm leaving with your car!!! Hilarious LOL!LOL!
That may be so but it is mine right !
Will get pics over the weekend of my cig '38 ,this visit I was
too pissed to see straight! thanks guys..Bert

Actually, what isn't so funny is that many people have no idea about those 4 easy steps or many others. And they are the ones we pass on the water each weekend!!!!
