Default Up the creek today

Well I spent the day fish up the creek with Grandson and doing some boat
riding with "our" 1965 12' Sea King & 7.5 Eska, caught a few crappie on
spinner bait??, and a few catfish on treble hooks and stinky stuff...forgot
to take the camera but We did have a good time and I only burnt 3 qts of gas
all day. One thing about a 12'er there hard really hard to **** from!.

heres a pic just after I finished the trailer.

Great shots. The transom job looks nice, and the first mate looks like he knows
what he's up to!

My 1st Mate,

I you trailer far, I would change the tire/wheel combo to at least 12".
The fenders are usually adjustable for a good fit. Those little tires
are spinning at 50,000 rpms at highway speed!

It's 3 miles to the creek and lake, 26 round trip to the river, 45-50mph, I
always add grease & do the shake test and check them for heat at the stops,
But I do think this winter I'm going through all wheel bearings on all
trailers. that's always good advice... Thanks and if I move to Florida I
would buy some 12" combos for the long trip...someday I will be there. What
I need is a bumper hitch for a 540i I to pull my tri hull...is that red
necking or what?

The cops talk about the 'open fly syndrom'.
lots of fishermen found drowned with their fly open.
I carry a bottle or old ice cream bucket for that reason... and the Yukon is
quite stable.

A bumper hitch would be redneck. Get a real hitch!
