Also, does the paint on your Skater/MTI get damaged or chipped by road debris or loose gravel being tilted on its side traveling so many miles?.......

Take a close look at that middle picture in post #19. Look real close at the transom. You can tell everyone it's your boat.

The motors are dry sumped, and every breather is on the high side, including both fuel fills. The gas is drained from the carb bowls but that is it. A bunch of ratcheting tie downs are used to hold it down.

It's an operation, but people freak when it starts to tilt....

GD will always be one of the best looking boat/tilt/rig setups...

Not a fan of the paint on Zuperman, but still looks great on GD's old trailer/rig setup...
