We have a 2009 2500 HD Chevy 4x4 with a Duramax diesel / Allison transmission extended cab 8' bed. We don't travel light. It has 70,000 miles as I do not use it as a daily driver. We paid $44,000. It's still looks and runs good Kelly Blue Book still lists it today at being worth $27,000. It's on...

Here we were just hanging around! :wink:

We have been slinged in and out of the water without having sling cutouts on the trailer. They used a forklift to lift up the boat while they slid the canvas type slings under the boat and then had the loops on the top of the slings slid on to the forks of the forklift. They do the same thing...

Larry, You have hydraulic steering. I would first tilt the motor all the way up and look for a grease fitting that is about half way up on the starboard side of the motor looking forward from the rear of the boat. That fitting greases the main vertical shaft that the motor turns from side to...

I don't think anyone who posted and what I believed was jokingly making light of the bubble guy really wanted the guy to just die. I think anyone of us coming upon this guy would have helped him. That's the great part about the forum we sometimes poke a little fun and have different view points...

Ya Mon it's Natural Selection. I hope he didn't have kids. You know the apple does not fall far from the tree.

Towing, at 60 mph and slower, no wind or hills, I average about 12-14, pretty respectable considering I'm towing 4800 lbs. I Colby So what is the towing MPG in the wind and on the hills? D.D.

I would look for a new or used Volkswagen Touareg diesel. The older ones are rated for 7400 pounds the 2015 model is rated for maximum towing at 7716 pounds. I never drove one but rode in one and they are a nice vehicle. The new ones have an E.P.A. mileage listed at 20/29 mpg. The curb weight...

We always used Sim's Yamaha. They are 1/2 the country away but they are the best Yamaha people I have ever dealt with. www.simyamaha.com call toll free 888-231-2392

I use Windows 7 and don't really have a lot of issues. I run free Avira anti virus software. I run Coastal Explorer on a laptop for navigation with a USB type GPS puck and save routes as Windows files. The laptop has a 14" screen so that's a deal for a 14" screen considering what big chart...

Seems like if you want something real good you have to pay for it. These tires require high pressure rims also. I think you inflate them to 110 PSI. http://www.amazon.com/Goodyear-Unisteel ... B004ZW6NYG I think our friend might swing for these high pressure models listed above. He is heading...

Works for us D.D.

There was a ramp right in Bayfield near a fish market. Staring down the hill at Bayfield it was on the right side of town and we stayed at the marina near there right in town which has fuel and they let us store the trailer there. We had a slip with truck parking right behind it. You could walk...

Use WD 40 shot directly into the lock. That lubes the inside of the lock and makes it work easier. D.D.

I use Prism metal polish and my wife's toothbrush. I also have tried a new metal polish Collinite 850 with decent results. Just buff with rag and a rubber tipped detail brush. D.D.

It almost seems the 4800 pounds would maybe be the bare hull. No motor and no water gas batteries etc. I pulled an 08 23' C-Dory Venture (5500 pounds on a trailer_ it was loaded moderately with a Chevy 1500 with 4 wheel drive for about 5000 miles. The motor was ok but I don't think the...

Just stay on the hook. Go back to the marina in the early am. Maybe raft up with some like minded individuals. D.D.

I would do the trip in the day light and set a couple of way points (as many as needed). Do it at no wake speed mark down your speed and keep track of the time it takes to each waypoint. Make sure you horn works. D.D.

It almost sounds like a fuel pickup or a fuel vent issue. Because it starts back up after it sits awhile. I would check your fuel supply lines and make sure they haven't deteriorated from ethanol. Also check for any possible kinks. I would wonder if it happens just on a particular tank. Or it's...
