Thought I throw this out there to you guys as a winter project. After getting my boat the tires on the trailer had less than 5k miles but 9yrs old. Previous owner never changed them.
I replaced all 5 and check bearings. Found very little grease from when trailer was new.
Check your trailers and date codes on the tires. Leads to trouble free summer!

Ron your boat and garage are impressively clean. I cant believe that boat has ever seen the salt water. I orderd my 400s from johny, will be selling old motors and accessories.

That's great news Bill. Boat has been in salt water many times already. Just takes a lot of work to keep it nice! Part of what we do LOL! !

I heard a clean garage was a sign of a sick mind. Just sayin....

I have a custom steel triple axle trailer to haul my little 25' Talon that I hate. It currently has 6 dry rotted BF Goodrich TAs'. I have been putting it off for years. I do lube the bearings before each trip. My number is up soon, but I hope with three axles I'll get home. Sad.....

First of Feb 2016 and O/B's absolutely dominated the Skater thread as they did throughout 2015...says something to the legacy of the smaller Skaters and their following!

Well boys, lets give a warm welcome to a new OB Skater guy, "LL9".

I'm going to post a couple pics of what he brings to the table. He sent these to me via email when I ask to see his ride.

Just when you think you have seen them all...
