I first pulled it with my El Camino but I always had to use the boat motor  to get me out of the water . The. Later with my 2.8 V6 S10 Blazer again using the boat's motor . Later My 1/2 ton 4x4 pickup can do it without the help.

Wow. I should dump my Bayliner and get this.

But it's too far away and I have nothing big enough to tow it with.

So, I sold my boat last year.  I'm not that far away, just across the lake.  Let me talk to SWMBO and my son in law this weekend and see it we can come up with a plan.

Well, it should be easy for you to check it out.   Most evenings and all weekend.

I sent an email through the forum.

Do you have batteries for it?  What are my chances of making an 11 hour drive with those tires?

My son in-law is somewhat interested as a project for us, and for him to keep at his cottage in Caseville Mi.

They are older tires. No wear or cracks visible. They look good but you'd have to decide for yourself.   
   The Only mechanical thing  on the boat  is the gimbal bearing is noisy.  It needs cleaning, it's been sitting for almost 2 years.

At this point I'll take dibs on the boat.  Pending approval and planning of transport.

Paging Frenchy!

If you still want this gone please reach out.  Check you email and phone messages.

If not let me know so I can cancel the trip.

I would like to show up with new tires and wheels but need to know the size and bolt pattern.

I checked my phone messages and Email every day.   Thinking you wanted it.  That's what you said on 4/12. 
   I gave up on the 6th and asked the Marina  about 8:30 when I picked up the pontoon.  Your Comment came later at 10:07AM 

  I'm sorry you'll miss out.

No problem, it makes my life and summer easier.

That is strange about the emails and phone messages.  No idea how we could connect through email then halfway through the string get cut off.  

Your phone would ring one time only, every time I called them go straight to your message.

Oh well, I tried.
