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. http://s783.photobucket.com/albums/y...t=100_0334.jpg I replaced the transom this spring http://s783.photobucket.com/albums/y...t=100_0168.jpg http://s783.photobucket.com/albums/y...t=100_0167.jpg My 1st Mate, http://s783.photobucket.com/albums/y...t=100_0428.jpg |

The transom job looks nice, and the first mate looks like he knows what he's up to! -- John H |

The fenders are usually adjustable for a good fit. Those little tires are spinning at 50,000 rpms at highway speed! |

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? |

I carry a bottle or old ice cream bucket for that reason... and the Yukon is quite stable. |
