I haven't trailered a boat in decades. Back when the Garden State Parkway was .35 for a car ir was either .50 or .75 for a single axle trailer behind. But that was when there were toll takers. Today we do have 1 or 2 lanes let with toll takers along with EZ pass, I don't know how much they...

That's crazy! Here in NJ they charge by axle but last I checked a single axle trailer isn't a crazy price more.

So your driver car/truck has 2 axles, the tins trailer has 1 axle, no? so 3 axle's total, how.....oh, I see what you did there, multi ton, so 2 ton or more...

Well you can challenge them, but it's better when unconstitutional, you can argue both unconstitutional and stupid.

There are so many unconstitutional laws it's ridiculous, I don't boat on lakes, but if I did I would challenge via proper channels all these "rules" they claim are real "laws".

It's easy to see how officials on a lake can monitor out board use with the 10 HP restriction. However, and I know I'm nit picking here, but if you had an inboard jet with no markings on it, how do they verify the power or do they have the right to dismiss you out of hand? Mind you, I have no...

It's an amazing little package. I can see how it would be utilized .

I agree with Flathead Steve, I don't know if this is the case but I'd change the cable.

Years ago I had a nice pair of cowboy boots, they got lost in a move or an ex GF stole them. So I treated myself to a long overdue new pair of Lizzard skin boots. I hope for Easter I'll have a new boat, maybe tax day.

How big is the can? It's not latex house paint, it's special stuff. If the can is per qt or greater I'd grab it. Even if you have to save up to get it. The other issue is, will you strip the blue or paint over it? I'd want some seriously solid advice on what is best.

Take a picture of the color you want, bring it to a store that makes paint for Aluminum boats (I assume it's special paint or.....contact Duranautic directly and ask for a quart or couple of quarts. Then if you know how to spray it on, do so, if not ask a body shop to do the job for you.

Any chance you dogs could puncture the tubes? (Nice work by the way!)

Hello, I won't say addicted, but I do have a love for them. My first (like most) was a tinner, what great memories.

You should probably just stop responding to me, you can't seem to help yourself from insulting me. Now I'm cheap. My car isn't a car, it's an SUV, my XT6 isn't an SRX. I've also said I could rent a tow vehicle. Time for you and your confrontational manner to stop responding if you cannot control...

I've never boated in North Jersey before, up until now it has been Barnegat Bay and south down to Atlantic city mostly. AC was a great day trip, go down on the outside, dock @ a hotel, have lunch, gamble a little, take a taxi over to the boardwalk and then run back home on the inside. Knowing...

I edited your post to save the space: I think what you are doing and have done describes my situation well. I saw great comparison in your story.

1st question is, what is the boat rated for? The extra ponies makes a big difference. I speak from personal experience. I had a 7.5 rated Sear 12' boat w/7.5 HP on back as a kid, I went and bought a 15 because I'm crazy and stupid @ 15 years old. Tore the bow of the boat up something awful over...

Valid points.

Knowing myself as I do I will have the marina launch and pull the boat, I plan on storing her on the trailer at the marina, so I'll hook her up and move her around on level ground just to feel things out. From that I'll determine just how much a risk it is vs how confidant I am it won't be an...

I looked into a very nice 16' slightly used boat with a 60 HP on back, would have gotten the job done for me and my kids/friends etc. My wife is a little spoiled, she's a city girl and believes when you spend on things like lifelong hobbies you get everything you want or at least close to it...
