The drive is about 4hrs from my home in Temecula, CA. (Riverside County) to the Havasu home. The RV side of the garage is approx. 16' tall (16' wide X 50' long)

Re: New Garage
 

Here is mine, 48x50. Still not enough room, could've been bigger. Doug

Re: New Garage

I will have two more bids coming so I'll have some comparisons. 12' high, 40x62, Post and steel. I hope that's big enough too.

Congrats Gerrard, that place is NICE! Have you had a chance to run the Power Play out there since you've had the new house?

Re: New Garage
 

Tank,
We didn't run the boat out there last weekend....we were too busy buying stuff....washer, dryer, frigerator, a big screen TV and furniture for guests to stay at the house with us. The house is hooked up now :D

Re: New Garage
 

Hey Gerard, that's real nice. :D When we make our way out to Havasu for a Poker Run, we'll have to come by and visit. I would just love to have the Tiger indoors like that from time to time. Take care and enjoy your new place. :drink:

Re: New Garage
 

Floor drains?? What for. I hear your boats dry 30 seconds after you put it on the trailer, or shut off the hose, in that dry air!! ( humidity usually runs about 140% here in MD, so the only thing thats completely dry around here is on fire!):D

Re: New Garage
 

PS................. definately sweet setup!!! Lotsa room!!

Mines kinda tight................

Re: New Garage
 

I like this garage better.. :D :D :D :D

Seriously, nice pad you have, I'm still slumming with the car port thing so I can afford my boat. :eek: :eek:

Re: New Garage
 

Damn that sucks!!!!

You sure that's not some govn't seizure warehouse??!! :D:D

Re: New Garage
 

Boats dry very quickly in the 110+ temperature (dry heat) You literally don't have to dry it. :D

Re: New Garage
 

What about water spoting??????????

Re: New Garage
 

vinegar and water and lots of wiping.

Re: New Garage
 

Mr. Clean Car Wash System.... highly recommended.

Re: New Garage
 

Mr. Clean works well, or another kind of water deionizer. Usually, if you are washing a boat, it will dry before you get done washing it! If you keep it waxed well, water spots are minimal...then you can use wax or Ducky's to get it off.

Re: New Garage
 

What does the vinegar do to the water???


Does the Mr Clean work that good? Will it work in the sun light???

Re: New Garage
 

Vinegar and water does exactly the same thing Ducky does for about 1/100 the costs. Try it sometime, just mix it 50/50 and it will remove all your water spots. I wipe my boat off as soon as I pull it out of the water with a spray bottle with vinegar and water and clean rags. No water spots what so ever. I cant believe any body would actually pay for Ducky. It does not work any better. You can buy a gallon of generic clear vinegar for 3 or 4 bucks and mix up a ton of squirt bottles with it. It smells a little funny but it works perfect. I use it in the sun as well, I live in Az. so there is no hiding from it. Just spray a section at a time and wipe it off. Let it soak a little longer on your drive and exhaust (while you are doing the sides) and they will come clean too.

Re: New Garage
 

This is true.....it is cheaper and does the same thing. Mr. clean wash/ rinse works great in the sun.

Re: New Garage
 

Never heard of such things for water spots. Will have to try sometime, although we usually have all the time in the world to wipe stuff down...........:D

Re: New Garage
 

Water de-ionizer is the only way to go (the same as mobile detalers use). I rent one for 35 bucks a month and it makes 1500 gallons of water and drys absolutely spot free. I use it on my boat, Harley ect... plug it in and it has a light that tells you it is good to go and when the light goes off you call and they bring you a new bottle. I have had one for years and would not live without it.

I could wash my Top Gun in about an hour and the skater in about 1/2 hour because you don't have to dry. Mr. Clean IMO is a piece of $hit. It does not put out enough water to wash a boat in a realistic amount of time. I bought one to use at the ramp for quick wash downs and it went in the trash after the first use.

Very nice place Gerard, I can't wait to check it out in a couple of weeks.

P.S. Sorry if there are any gramatical errors, I just had my appendix (sp) taken out and i am doped up pretty good right now. :D :cool:

Re: New Garage
 

How are you feeling bro? I was trying to call you earlier. Looking forward to Havasu in a few weeks on "Benny" (Bennington pontoon boat)

Re: New Garage
 

I wipe my boat off at the boat ramp when I have all the "help" that went with me. My wife does the interior while I do the outside, that way when I get home it's done, all I have to do is cover it and put it away.

Re: New Garage
 

4 hour drive is not bad at all for a good time at the second home, from here in nor-cal it would be probably like 9 hrs. i would have to fly most the time. i guess now you couldregister all your toys out there. by the way does AZ have the luxury tax like here in Cali. thanks, JAIME
