Pick up the trailer a week from today and hopefully headed right to the boat to Jack it up and get it on the transport trailer. Hauling it back to my shop where it will go inside. Bottom paint and a wet sand for rest of Hull. All through hills and hoses replaced. Pumps rebuilt and both carbs rebuilt. New batteries and sumps and a thorough inspection Likely won’t see water until spring of 2023. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f7ben Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 Just now, s pump said: Cool , have you been working on it already? Nope....fought all last year trying to line up a mover and they all bailed. Talked to one guy this year and he wouldn’t commit so I decided to do it myself. I just bought a 34’ triple axle 18,000lb trailer and $1000 worth of boat stands. Gonna pack up a load of jacks and tools and get after moving it. Should be an adventure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see myself living on something like that half a year it really is a nice set up. The earlier 50s were actually laid out a bit better but the newer one have much nicer interior materials. I spend 4-5 days in the summer working from there. It's pretty comfortable. Edited May 3, 2022 by s pump 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Kitty Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Hockey has changed just like the NBA, just look at the Wings with the Russian 5 and the Bad Boys, the violent games between the Wings & Avs, NJ , Pistons vs. Celtics Bulls Lakers. No such teams like those anymore, NBA I can’t watch now& hockey is just so boring, no enforcers like Probert& Kocur, Ti Domi, maybe with Yzerman firing the head coach will turn them around , still nothing like the old rivalries.

Boat is 34’ lwl and 12’6 beam with a dry weight of 17,000. I’m hoping for right at 14’ on the trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s pump Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 This is a 510 2003 I had a deposit on. The layout is cool with a powered slide out bar and more space but the materials are less hi end. Cool layout tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's a daily fuel bill if you're travelling at an economical speed? Say 8 hour cruise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
