Anyone with a lick of sense knows that you use bunks for an aluminum boat.

Rollers on your Legends, Lunds, PrinceCrafts etc could deform the hull.






Does yours oilcan?


Certainly not!

You're lucky. Most thin skinned aluminum boats do.

Why would you even consider anything "Hank" says here...his only

What is 'oilcan'? Is this something unique to aluminum boats?

If you're ever around the west side of Charlottesville, the Misty Mountain Camp Resort is a great

That's a legitimate, boating related question. Many, if not the
majority, of aluminum boats "oil can".

Hey thanks John. I might be able to use this place I like travelling 81
vs 95 north of Richmond.
You know, Harry is like a mushroom. He is most comfortable in the dark

Well, here it is, my new rig... well the boat is a year old this month
and
the Highlander is almost 3 months old.

I have it on a fairly level spot to measure how level the trailer is
with
a
2" drop receiver.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...ps59c5dd8b.jpg

D'oh... I need to reverse the draw bar so the hitch is 3/4 inches high.
I'm struggling with that because I don't have a 1 & 9/16" or 1 & 5/8ths
wrench to hold the ball steady while I remove the big 1.5" nut and it's
locking washer.

I tried my water pump pliers with duct take over the jaws to protect the
chrome but it's too slippery.

Guess I'm off to Princess Auto to buy a big cheap Chinese adjustable
wrench.


------------------

Why buy cheap wrench? Use a pipe wrench and good for pipes later. As
to
the ball, get one of these types and forget about greasy pants.
http://www.etrailer.com/Balls/Andersen/AM3662.html


Wonder how long that nylon will last?


----------------

I have had one on my hitch for probably 6 years. Only bad spots are nicks
where I backed in to the coupler as it was too low. I have towed
thousands
of miles with the ball. 4400# rig. I tow to Vancouver Island every
couple
years and that is about 1200 miles to Tofino or Telegraph Cove. Wife is
happy that we do not get grease on the clothes when the trailer in
unhitched
and ball is still installed.


Interesting that it doesn't wear out! I take my receiver out when I'm
not using it, not so much because of grease, but my shins!


------------------

Some places we go, I drop the trailer after launching. So stinger is
installed with no trailer hooked up.

Mine does not oilcan. Is on a bunk trailer with UHMW plastic bunks. But my
aluminum boat is 3/16" on the bottom. Lots of the newer ones are now 1/4"
6031 T-6 bottoms.

FlaJim doesn't care about that...his concern is to find ways to try to
"tweak" you, and he is boatless. He's an RV boy, like Herring.

The majority of the population live in the central part of the country where aluminum boats seem practical and popular...In fact most of the major manufacturers are in Ontario and Quebec.
A lot of boats go north where transportation costs are high so aluminum makes sense.
Fiberglass is more practical here on the coast but unlike the US, our East coast population is minimal....slightly less than 2 million for the four Atlantic Provinces.

It is possible to have an rv and a boat.
Harry was homeless for a while after his Jacksonville house was
foreclosed on.
On the other hand, there is no stigma associated with boatlessness. I
don't know why you keep trying to make an issue out of it.

What is the fascination up there with aluminum boats?
If I see anything larger than a jon boat here, it has Canadian
numbers.
I do see some nice ones tho, 18-20 feet with big motors on them.


------------


Smaller boats in aluminum are easy and cheap to tow, and do not chip if you
beach them. My Northwest style jet boat was designed for shallow water,
rivers with rapids. The snake was run for years with wooden and glass
boats, but when you touch one of those hidden rocks those two types pretty
much ended their life. Where we may have to bang out the bottom or cut out
and weld in a new section.

Even those of us with thick aluminum hulls (0.25") prefer UHMW bunks to
