Trailering my boat
I just had a major maintenance schedule and fuel system upgrade done on the
Navigator and happened to be at the marina yesterday as they prepared to re-splash it. I took a few pictures with a cell phone camera and they came out surprisingly good. They may be viewed at: http://www.eisboch.com/navsplash Eisboch |

Is that an old Air Force Tow Motor hauling that trailer? |

They keep it and the 60 ton travel lift in excellent condition as the pair are the marina's bread and butter. Eisboch |

There's a freight yard over in Putnam that has a whole fleet of them. The yard manager told me he wouldn't part with them for anything. |

That might be an issue for a Lake Champlain delivery. |

You actually end up going about 90 miles past Montreal and making a right turn at a town called Sorrel into the Richleau River. That takes you south to the St Ours and Chambly Canals, and eventually to Lake Champlain. Interesting trip. |

I don't often get to see it out of the water and the hull design that you can see in the pic with the boat on the travel lift explains the soft ride it exhibits, even in short, heavy chop. One of the upgrades done was the installation of dual Racor fuel filters for each tank/engine with a three-way valve to allow switching while underway without having to shut the engine down. Although I've never experienced a fuel problem yet, the idea of changing filters while dead in the water in 6-8 footers just doesn't get me excited. Eisboch |
