So is the wife over the fact you didn't get permission or are you still sleeping in your pickup truck? I bought an extra snowmobile we didn't need a couple years ago after my wife said no and that went over like a fart in church so I can't imagine the wrath that would rain down spending 100 + times what I did lol

Hey Scott. Not sure if it will be ready by the time we leave for Oklahoma. Dinged up the props during the Tickfaw and they are still at Hering. While the props were down, I had a whining sound from one of the whipples, so I had them sent in for rebuild as well (waiting on parts.. the story of my life). Will likely be rolling in the family cruiser at this rate. IF it is ready by the shootout, I may have it brought up for that weekend as we are hosting a couples weekend with some friends up there. If I see you out, I may come over, I'd look to look your ride over now that I know what I am looking at. I have a couple things I would like to compare for my reference.

I agree on the trailer upgrade. If you are not keeping it on a lift, you are going to want a trailer that is going to load a lot easier. At a minimum, a split bow stand upgrade will help a lot and be better on your paint; especially since I bet you winch the boat on rather than drive it on. Something that works for me: spray the bow stand/roller down with spray wax before you retrieve the boat. This lubricates what touches the boat (and your paint), and whatever residue is left on the boat is just wax that wipes right off. This is the product I swear by:

I also use it to remove the scum line as soon as the boat comes out of the water too.
