Please reconsider and KEEP the trailer.

Rick ---- who's tired of trailerless friends constantly asking to
borrow one of mine.

In my situation, "Tis best to have and not need, then to need and not
have.."

In my area, I ahve some lakes I can boat on, and I trailer my boats to
and from when i go and when I'm finished. I don't pay slip fees, and I
don't have the baot sittig all summer in the drink collecting moss ont
he bottom, and I don't ahve to have my boat covered at all times
gettimg mold amd mildew in everyplace it's damp. I do have a warehouse
where I store my boats and am fortunate to do so. If I didn't I'd have
it under a car port in the back yard where I can keep an eye on it.
But with a trailer, i can take the boats where I want and when I want.

I want to cringe when I see newer boats sitting in a slip at the lakes
un covered, just inviting UV rays sizzling to play havoc on the
interior, and the boat just waiting to catch a rain storm. then when
pulled out, the bottoms and engine lowers are covered with green and
brown goo.
