    Going after two free boats and motors?

    I was just going to take a couple of pieces of 2x4 with me, and a hand saw so I can notch them to fit over the bottom boat. That way they can't move and they'll form a flat platform for the top boat, then if the bottom boat is tied down, and the upper boat is tied to it using the rear handles...

    I called, they said a 17ft box van for a local rental was $40/day plus miles, I didn't see any 'flat rate online either? It was more for a one way rental. I also think it may be more if I tell them I'm going to another state with it. I had that problem once before with a Ryder truck when they...

    Not at all, figure around $40 a day, pluis $.90 mile, plus tax. Its roughly a 350 mile ride, and its going to take 5 to 6 hours each way figuring a few stops for fuel or food. I'd have to pick up the truck the night before, but would be back too late to return it till the next day, so that means...

    Mine has the 4.6l and 4R70W trans, the trunk is a bit shallower but wider and longer by a bit than the 5.0L models. I had several of these cars over the years, the first was a '77, which pulled better than most trucks but was always thirsty. That got sold and I bought an '83, that was a nice...

    Both motors are Johnson 15hp with green lowers and white hoods with black side panel decals. From what I see online, that narrows it down to either '74 or '75. The T/C has about 33k on it, its got factory tow and even a brake controller but because of the 7 link rear suspension they only give...

    Going after two free boats and motors?

    I was thinking it would be cheaper to just stack the two boats, I've stored boats that way in the past, I don't see why it wouldn't work for hauling them? I can't pull a heavier trailer with the car, nor would I want too. A light boat trailer won't tax the car or burn up a ton of fuel. Weight...

    Going after two free boats and motors?

    First post here, I've been reading here for a few months or so but finally signed up. I'm getting close to retirement age and have been looking to get me a small boat to use in the river and back bays here. Most of what I find locally in my price range has been pretty rough or a complete...
