+1 - Do you have to get it now?

It needs to be out by wednesday, sure as hell will do not want to tow it on the busiest travel day of the year. Had to wait for check to clear to pick it up so here I am now. Shogren moved and has no room for it his new shop, lease is up at his old shop. Was supposed to be picked up 48hrs after the auction so he is actually being nice. Time to get salty. Will dunk the trailer then wash it. Hope it will be dry on the express way. And the boat is 9ft beam...should be fun through Chicago.

As far as the tape, I have 3m tape and gel coat, no paint.

Call Reliable Carriers:drink:

$995, and then I would have to unwrap it to winterize.

250 bucks---- Buffalo to KS, perfect weather the whole way, but it was piece of mind

33 Sorry to hijack, what do you have for height in the garage, it looks like you have doors going both ways?

Hopefully you got a galvanized trailer in the deal! :D

I drove around all day today my truck didn `t get any salt on it . I don`t think it`ll be as bad as you think. Today roads are clean and dry.

This was Saturday... I had to pull my new to me 33 threw the storm.

I found a semi truck wash in Wis that washed it all up for me once I was out of the snow.

That must suck towing in that mess, how is braking all that mass in the snow?

On the way home, just find a semi truck wash. Im sure you will pass them. I used the Google function on my phone, I found one that was on the way home in Wis, and called them up. (Laughing Larry truck wash) Larry said no problem! Just pull around back and we will open the door for you. Super nice guy!

To boot he only changed me $15!!! said it super Saturday special. I told him it was WAY too cheap here is more., and Larry said any thing more give to the boys out there. So they all wash boys got tips :) The one kid was amazed by the size of the boat. Said" I have never seen a boat this big". Hahaha.

They pressure washed all the snow and road grime crap off the boat n' trailer, washed it all, hand scrubbed the rims n' tires, sprayed it all off and applied hot wax. Once clean I was able to remove the cock pit cover for the remainder of the drive (:( already pulled 2 snaps out on the transom) But the was was well worth every penny.
