Yes, but as far as boat covers go, this is first class!
The cows can fend for themselves!! Scout "Scotty" wrote in message . .. Around here, we build proper barns. -- Scott Vernon Plowville Pa _/)__/)_/)_ "Scout" wrote in message . .. 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 http://www.coverquest.com/covers/ins...es/coverit2.ph 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. Scout "Capt. Rob" wrote in message ups.com... Congrats, Scout! Do send us some pics when you can. RB 35s5 NY |

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. Frank |

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" Frank |
