Hoping the ramps are open today!
River too high again today. I go back to work for 6 straight weeks without a full day off to go get it, so I’m hoping the ramp is open tomorrow so it can be ran to make sure it’s reqdy.

Good Luck with the new boat.
Ramp is open today! Keeping my fingers crossed that the motor runs out like a top and I can go pick it up tomorrow!
Was told the motor was running really smooth. However, something was up with the trim and the trailer lights so it’s looking like it’s notcoming come with me this weekend.
Change of plans! Sam just called me and is gonna meet me halfway in the morning! Pics coming tomorrow!
The boat is in my garage! Was in a little tougher shape than I expected but Sam met me about 3 hours short of my drive all the way to him. Excellent guy to deal with.
I would post pics but it’s really far too complicated on this site with all of the size and file format restrictions.
All that and you aren’t going to post pics!?
It’s not that complicated to post a pic, and there are several ways to do it compared to other sites.

I may of missed it but which boat did you pick up? Was it that Lund that was sitting there? It looked like a nice setup.

There were a few pretty significant gouges like this in the keel. They should be able to be patched and a keel guard can cover all of them. I hope the hull isn't water logged. It was literally the only significant issue with the whole boat.
