Listen want to give a shout out to Ferminator. I was supposed to leave at Odark thirty tommorow and after getting everything ready I went to hook up the trailer and NADA.
I spent two hours in the dark with a flashlight and my multi tester and in the end I had no power going to my stock Ford trailer pkg. On the phone with Ferm and he pulled up my trucks schematics, told me to check certain under hood fuses and voila, found a blown under hood situation. Turns out I have a short in the trailer popping fuses. So I have to wait until the shops open in the am. to get these specialized fuses ford uses. I spent an hour or so and rewired the end connections where I hope it is shorting out. Anyhow after a couple hours of frustration a fellow who has never laid eyes on me spent half an hour at close to 10 pm helping a brother out. We have good peeps on this site, we are very fortunate to have this, thanks Ferm. Willy |
A brother in need is a brother indeed!!!!:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:
|
All right here it is 10am and I had to rewire the whole right side of the trailer and just finished.
Turns out the whole world stopped due to a mouse and his nest inside the trailer tube and he chewed out a wire bare. Well, the family has left so its time to jump in the shower, pack and tow this puppy to the beach. Wish me luck |
kick on them afterburners and get down here brother!

we had a great time today. we got down a little late. as we arrived we met a guy in a v20 with a hardtop who was also looking around for everybody, but I never heard from them again. we met up with breilly first and tied up next to him. after a little while rwilson waded over on a reconnaissance mission to see if our spot was better than his and lumberslinger's. a few minutes later they joined us. about a half hour later buddy joined as well. we were 5 strong. I got a few pics with my cell phone. sorry you got all jammed up with your trailer willy. maybe we can get together some other time.

We had a great time today. Hope to see everyone out there again next year.

hey guys,Willy called me about an hour ago. He wanted to apoligize for not making it today. He blew out his knee while launching his boat at the ramp. Talk about bad luck.
|
looks like ya'll had a great time, lumber i like the bow shot from the water of all the v's rafted up.
|
<sigh> Would have loved it... :sad: I swear I'll make it next go-around if I have to paddle out there. Glad you guys had a great day..mom nature co-operated to her fullest.

Its been pretty well said we had a good time out in Barnegat Bay yesterday. My camping trip was the trip from hell but we managed to have a great time out on the water.
Lumber's boat looks as good in person as in his pics... Still not sure exactly how he does it though...Was great to meet you Lumber and your family. Pete, I think that must have been Step up Here that you met with the hard top....and it seems from some other posts that's CTT old boat? didnt know that....sorry we missed you Step up. Nice to meet you too Brad (BReilly) We forgot the camera in our haste to get on the road Friday night but it seems like things were pretty well documented. And Willy....sorry about your knee....you know that was the spirit of your old V-20 working its magic on you for cheatin' on her. |

But who is buddy? Thanks for all the pic's! Sympathy goes out to Destroyerman and Willy for not being able to make it, real bummer there for Willy. :cry: rkc |
LOL ....Willy and I would make a pair.... I didn't say anything but I blew out my right knee hopping over the railing of a stairs about a month ago.. Just getting back to being able to sleep without a pillow under it.
Tough go Willy.. you have my sympathy.. If it's any consolation, it does get better... just takes time...:beer: |
Looks like it was a wonderful day of Boating, Nice picture of them V's all lined up ...Any plans for Florida get together ?
|
Wow Guys!!...looks like the biggest V-20 raft-up to date...talk about some great boat porn...oo baby, ooo...thanks for all the great shots, Slinger!!...a great time had by all to be sure...
Sorry about the knee, willy...hope you feelin better... |

Anybody up for a V-20 get-together in the Carolinas this Fall?... |
ME! Timeframe sounds perfect Reel.
|
I would consider trailering down .........:clap:

I have to go to Yamaha and Merc school this winter in Georgia. I was considering going a week early to spend some time at a friends house on Pine Island. Maybe I could drag down the v20. |
Depending on the month and my ability to repair my engine I would trailer down...especially if it was in a caravan. Hell, I just trailered up from Florida a few months ago... NC would be a cakewalk...just 600 miles
|
Sounds like a national convention!..Shoot I might even have to go if the rest of you Yankees were planning on it.
