My boat needs a number of fixes, from rebuilding the tilt/trim cylinders to a new impeller. The problem for me is getting it to your shop. You see, it is on a trailer in a boathouse, but in order to tow it, you have to float it and trailer out and onto another ramp for hookup to the truck. Major nosebleed.
Do you have the ability to retrieve a boat from the water at your lake shop?? Sure would make life easier.
Thanks, Mack.

well, almost anything if we include grillin' in the mix.

BTW Mack, I'd like to see you float the boat AND trailer over to another ramp.....that concept has some serious entertainment value.

I assume this is a Pontoon boat? If so, yes, and I take it you are going to drive the boat to my side of the Lake? Better idea is to meet you at Kowaliga bridge with trailer and get it there. You just let me know what would be easy for you and I'll figure it out. Call me on my Cell today. 334-657-4349

Nope, not a pontoon. It is a 22' Harris FlotDek with a tri-hull(?) bottom.
Is that a problem?

OK, then I'll send a different trailer. Lets' get together, and make it happen.

Gonna' have to wait until I have enough water to float the boat. @485'. Early Spring. But, plan on it!!
1996 5.0L 305 Ford block. Volvo outdrive. Impeller, tilt/trim rebuild, FI service, misfiring, fluid changes,etc.
If you can find a trailer to slide it on, I'll meet you anywhere on the lake, even Blue Creek where I bought it new.

Actually, that is how my boat got into position when we bought it from Blue Creek in 96' at the B'Ham Boat Show, as a matter of fact.
Lash the trailer to the boat with several winch straps. The boat will float the trailer enough to move the boat/trailer to an adjacent ramp for hauling out. Calm day. No wakes. No waves. That boat be riding low for a while. But, UEM, the chance for a screw up during this is high, and a video camera is called for.
