Thanks Rob,
and it begins! I'm realizing that I need to carve out a
protected place in
my very wooded yard to winter the boat. I'm spending this
weekend cutting
down 6 trees and a contractor is coming in to cut and
stone a 200 ft lane;
at the end of that lane I'll put this garage tent

p I should
be able to squeeze in my camper, utility trailer, and even
my John Deere
tractor. I know the boat is supposed to be about fun, but
the urge to
protect an investment is primal. I probably should've done
all this before
buying the boat, but I thought I'd still be looking at
this point.

Doug, if we are passing close to you I'd like to meet,
show you the
boat. Only thing is I"m on a tight schedule because
work is calling :(
Give me a yell on the cell if you are near I -95.

ps. she's a beaut!

Scout


Glad it worked out. That's one long way to go to get a
boat.

Frank

You're right Frank!
The Gulf is a beautiful place though, and I'm glad I had
the chance to see
it.

Yep. Too bad you didn't have time to stay and sail the
Islands down
there. My timing is off, will be down there sometime in
Oct., would
have liked to have sailed with you.

And, my truck needed a new challenge though. I got about
9 mpg's pulling the
boat at a steady 60 mph.

Not too bad considering the load and engine size. In
August, I towed
my brother in laws boat from Biloxi to Mexico beach,
partly as a favor
to him, and partly as a test to see what my Dakota is good
for. I
only got 12.2MPG with a 3.9L auto. Also told me that my
Dakota is
maybe marginal for my short list of boats. His boat about
800 lbs.
lighter than I'm thinking and, although well within the
rated towing
capacity, the truck struggled a bit, particularly on
hills.

Don't forget about the other 100s of odd pounds
you'll add with stores.

Scotty

It is conservatively in the total. Battery, Anchor(s), motor, gas
tank, etc. electronics, and assorted other items. With it all, I
would be about 800 lbs. under the truck's rated tow capacity, but
right on the Gross Combined (assuming two passengers). A little too
close, possibly.

Worse case I move forward, truck turns out to be marginal, and I
replace the truck. Not a big deal.

But a proper boat cover just the same.

I, however, can't do that hampered as I am by restrictive covenants.
Looks like the ole boat may have to fend for itself out in the
elements as I cannot afford to build it lodging "with the same
materials, design elements and general construction as the primary
residence"

We keep the tractor (which mows 2 acres of lawn and scrapes snow off a
very long inclined driveway), the Butterfly, the hoes, shovels,
rakes,gardening equipment, etc. and various and sundry other things in
the barn. Also, the wheelbarrow. We also store Mr Sails "toy" car in
there in the winter plus one of the kids snowmobiles. So it's not just
about animals....
