I'll have to check that out. The boat I bought came from down your way...Southport, NC. The guy I bought from purchased the trailer a couple of years ago. Since it appears that bunk trailers are cheaper than rollers that is most likely the reason he went wih bunks. Thanks. HD

Well....since this is my first boat I really have no input on this. So this is an intersting topic to me as well. My trailer does have bunks. I've talk to a bunch of boat owners down my way and they say the bunks support the hull better :?: . I do know that I like the bunks because if I am...

I agree with everyone who here. I have the same boat on a Rolls Alum. Tandom trailer. The trailer is rated for 6000 lbs. I tow it with a 3500 Dodge diesel and I can tell you that you know the boat is back there. I also pull a 4-horse gooseneck trailer with living quarters with the same...

Hey Trophy Pro, I took my bracket off and had it sand blasted and powder coated...inside and out. Now if only the weather would warm up enough so I can remount it. The sealant (5200) needs at least 60 degrees so it will set and cure properly. Before I pulled my...

You are right. I knew it was one or the other. All I know is that there has been a lot of comment made about the cost for the service. I need to see if Verizon carries that service. How far out can you get cell-phone coverage? I'm still shopping for a new GPS. I currently have a '91 era...

Thanks for the websites. I was talking to a friend of mine (Phil of "We Do It All Marine" in Moyock) last week about getting a new GPS for my boat. I like the Garmins with the Sirius weather alert. But it is a very pricey service. He told me that the cell phone companies now offer radar...

Holy cow :shock: ....I cannot believe someone would leave their boat unattended in conditions like that. The sad thing is he will make an insurance claim and everyone gets to pay for his stupidity :x . When we do overnight fishing trips, and before we leave the dock, my rule is that EVERYONE...

Thnaks guys. I'll have to let my fishing partner in-crime know as well. He has a 20ft CC, retired CG working at the Advance Auto Parts store in Moyock. Nice guy. HD

How-bout us folks down here in Northeastern, NC? I live near Coinjock, NC. But I work in Portsmouth, VA. Heavy Duty

The inspection plate appeared to be sealed and before I could removed it I had to cut the sealent away so I could pry the thing off. Once I got the inspection plate off I ran my hand down the side of the foam. I could feel dampness. I really didn't find the water until I removed (or drilled out)...

Yep....and they figured no one would ever take a peek inside :) . Just think, they saved a few bucks on paint. HD

The aluminum alloy forms aluminum oxide (white powder), which self protects it from further loss to anything but galvanic corrosion. Just like what happens on your outboard lower unit gearbox/skeg. Yep, had lots of white powder on the inside :( If your drive has a mini sump with the...

I am in the process of doing just that. If it is the Grady Drive bracket....10 bolts (5 on each side) and one stud mounted on the bracket with the nuts on the inboard side of the transom. An impact wrench works great. There is a a large foam core inside the bracket. It comes out. I'm having...

Thanks CaptKenny. Hey I work over here in Portsmouth, VA. I just came from Portsmouth boating center and they are going to give me a price to pick it off the trailer, soda blast it, set back on trailer. They do have a forklift and a travelift. What do you know about these guys? They OK? Fair...

I'm with you on the nerve raking. Not to menton as to what happens IF you drop the boat on the ground. That would be one of thos "Oh Sh**" moments. The company quoted me $500.00 bucks to remove the bottom paint via soda blasting. The price sounds good but taking the boat off of the trailer...

Does anyone have any tipps on how to get a boat off the trailer and onto stands so the bottom can be soda blasted. I have found a a company that will come to your house and soda blast the bottom of the boat. Problem is the boat needs to be off the trailer and at least 3 feet up so they can get...

I have the same problem. Heck, I'v only had my '91 Overnighter now going on 3 months and already I'm catching myself eyeballing the bigger boats....I mean the really bigger boats. But like you said.....not getting any younger. I can launch and recover mine all by myself if I have to. It is a bit...

Yep. That is what I got. For a little bit there I thought I'd bought something I couldn't use. Makes me feel better. Went to the Yamy site and down-loaded the OM. Got some good stuff in there. I also ordered the maint. manual. I have a feeling both will come in handy. I do have a pilots...

Thanks Bob. I'll check it out. :D HD
