He had it all correct!

What is "long term storage"?

RV tires?



Undefined, I am sure. I store for about four months up here, maybe
four and a half, and move the trailer around. If I were
ReggieReturdo, though, I'd find some non-issue to make an issue of,
and push it for all it was worth. What else has he?

Harry,
Someone asked for recommendations, I told him what I did based upon
my father recommendations.

You don't have to rationalize yourself to me, ReggieReturdo. Using
your imaginary boat this week? Next week? The week after?

Harry,
Nope, this weekend my marina asked me if they could pull my boat and
store it on the hard, so they could move a larger boat into my slip, due
to low water. Since I am a nice guy and understood their problem, I
told them sure, no problem. They then agreed to winterize the the
engine and fresh water system for free. It is amazing how good karma
begets good karma. On the plus side, I can change my outdrive boots
this winter without paying for a haul.

You seem to have an anger management issue. What seems to be the problem?



Anger management? Me? Naw. I'm the nicest guy you've never met. I just
have a low tolerance for flaming a**holes. That would be you.

If you look at the bottom of the brochure you will see they list the
tires they recommend for boat trailers. It is the last tires just
before the list the recommended care and feeding of RV/Trailer Tires.

Ok, if you say so.

Actually I have a very good idea, but I'm realistic about the
limitations also.

When the wind is over 10 to 12 kts there are few, if any, boats your
size on open water. That's OK if you want to be on the Patuxent River
those days but on the bay you need something bigger.

These 'professional boaters' are really something these days....afraid of
their own shadow when the water is over their head.
Back in the good ole days fishermen would launch their dorys off the deck of
a schooner and fish in all types of weather.

I guess anything is possible. We did see a 40 something Bayliner
going out Hatteras inlet the other day.

That must have been disheartening for you.

Let me know when you run Matanzas Inlet, or, if you haven't the balls or
experience for that, Nassau Sound Inlet.

That was a problem with the MG-A I once owned, but not with any of the
other Brit cars I've had, including a TR4, a Lotus Cortina, a real
Mini-Cooper S, and the Jag I still have. The knock-off wire wheels need
attention from time to time because they do go out of round, but that
hasn't been a problem for me; I rarely drive the car.
