    Need help making a poor mans boat cover.

    Not sure where Angola is but there is one near South Bend, way up North. Look at the Brat Map at the top of the page. 3 hours may be right. Charlie

    We did not have the WD hitch in the long tow from Pensacola to VA and that was probably the partial cause of two front tire blowouts at 70mph, that and 5 yo tires that I neglected to replace (against Dr Bob's recommendation), the boat should be about 6" aft of where it was then if no WD hitch...

    New Garmin autopilot for 2015

    Hmmm. Just bought an AP the GHP 10, this one wasn't out, think it's worth sending it back before I open it? Not ready to install yet, hate to be a Guinea Pig though... :roll: Looks like the same price...Not available until Q1 2015 though, guess I could leave a hole in the dash....:cry: And...

    As Dr Bob did, we towed a TC 255 at about 11000# with a. Diesel Excursion with surge brakes and an aluminum float on trailer with no problems. Never felt unsafe. Charlie

    Moyen Poodle

    Angel is a great PUP. :hug :dog :love Would not recommend a Silky Terrier like our Andy the Wonder Dog for boating. Love him but the first trip on our boat out of only two or so, he threw up before we even got underway. He's about 12 and will probably be good for only about 2 or more years...

    Table charge

    A regular USB charger is about 1 amp. An iPad charger (that comes with the device) is rated at ~2.1 amps. It's, in all likelihood, not the wiring but the charger itself. ssobol is right on IMO. Charlie :thup

    Trailer Value?

    Tom, the tires on THATAWAY were 5 years old when I bought the boat/trailer from Dr. Bob. With only about 500 miles. Two sidewall blowouts on the trip from Pensacola to VA. Of course, that was an 11000# boat.. :roll: See THIS Thread...
