Boat made it home

[one eyed jack]

Congratulations Brian. She's a fine looking craft.

The bottom line is the tag and title place wants your money. They'll figure it out.

Congrats on the new boat. Enjoy it!

Finally got boat. I hope paper work in order. Texas is very picky and boat is titled in New Mexico and they don't have separate titles for boat and motor but boat was bought in Texas so there is a title for motor. Pretty sure it going to be crazy at the court house tomorrow. All ready working on burnt trailer light bulb. I thought I was still a young man and jumped out of boat. Boy I going to feel that tomorrow. Between getting in and out than getting that cover on I am wore out! My 25 year old Jeep had all it could do to tow this thing. Glad I got Alum. We need to upgrade at some point but that going to have to be a while! Been looking around 2015 models but they still over $30,000. I need to find a girl friend with a truck I guess! Well time to get insurance started and look for a storage close to the lake now. Also need to get one of those trailer auto latches so it locks on when you drive boat on trailer.

Congrats. Sounds like it might take a little effort to get’er legal. But should be worth it

Thanks

Congrats Brian! It's good to see you finally got one!

Congrats Brian! Hope the worst part is over, the waiting, right? You'll git 'er done. You got it and that's the main thing. Keep us posted. Great day!

As for a used new tow vehicle…. If you can hold out prices may eventually drop some day but used cars are selling at a premium. We sold one last oct at20-25% over blue book very easily

I can't afford one now anyway. No money coming in and alot going out! Got jeep and old Buick tuned up yesterday and now going to have to get Valve gasket replaced on buick. The price of driving old cars.

Congrats Brian, enjoy it, your pup seems to like it as well.

Good deal . Enjoy that .

WAY TO GO BRAIN!! Glad it finally made it home and hopefully the title transfer will be painless.

Nice rig Brian, the paper stuff will work itself out, go have some fun! RAY

Glad to see that she's found her home, Brian.

Congrats Brian! I think the fish are going to "pay" for that purchase! That is a really nice set up!

Congrats on finally finding a boat! Nice rig!

Congrats Skipper

Oh I forgot to mention that Kenny Chesney's "Guys Named Captain" is now part of your world!

Nice looking boat Brian. Enjoy it. Rear coil air bags should help with that squat on your Jeep. Plus it's a whole lot cheaper then a new vehicle.

Chris

Time to fish!

Nice One Brian!!
A long time ago, I had a Hole that I threw money into.
It was smaller than yours---17' Skeeter.
Didn't get a chance to use it much, so sold it.
Lets Smoke some Fish!!!

Thanks everyone. Took a hour to complete paperwork but we got through it. I forgot to get trailer inspected but paid $26 to defer it a year. Insurance a bit higher than excepted. Storage going to be higher also but not keeping it outside. Bought all the required stuff today. Not sure when going to get to use it but soon hopefully after putting out some fires.

 

[bigfurmn]

I hope you aren’t too close and don’t mean literal fires???

 

[Fueling Around]

Nice looking boat.
Looks even nicer hooked up to your Jeep.

 

[mcokevin]

Alright Brian, nice work. How long until you add a smoker to it? A small one of course, nothing unreasonable.... 48" stick burner or something small like that

 

[cmayna]

Nice boat. Now you need to practice yelling "Hook Up!" or "Fish On!" or.....

 

[forktender]

I had them installed when had last boat but was over twenty years ago. They have not worked in years.

I just went and looked and they gone. Guess they disintegrated.

Heck, you could just throw a pair of Monroe air shocks on the back and call it good.


I used to tow a 20' Ranger bass boat with a little 4 banger Toyota 4x4 that had almost 300,000 miles on it over the mountains in Norcal. Your Jeep has more than enough poop to tow that boat around TX even in the hill country.

Biggest problem is the trailer hitch to low. Drops almost 4". I could not even get into storage I rented. Bottoms out on front of trailer. Receiver been in there for 20 years. Going to try spraying PB Blaster on it for a week. Not sure it going to ever come out. This has been a week from hell!

Use Kroil, it is the best out there for this or mix up some ATF (trans fluid) and acetone. PB and WD are not that great, especially on rusted bolts

I see a good chain and a sturdy tree in your future.
