Excellent!

Was it you who previously told me that 84 was the best year for V's?

The 84 has a lotta good qualities, but I liked the '74 for the 11 years I was in it and the 95 21'er was nice too...I may have said I liked the 84s, but it's tuff to pick a favorite!!...

Destroyer, you're RIGHT about the way she's blocked up right now....not the most solid, but I'll pick up some more blocks, double-stack 'em and lower one course for more stability...I just need to return the trailer tomorrow and had to GEETER DUN w/what I had...a good friend came out and helped me w/it...he was a bit amazed at the whole process!!...

Pete...like said above, my buddy and I tied it off to the storage room wall and on 1st attempt nearly pulled the wall down...wife ran in to get the video camera...LOL!!...so we decided to yank the motor and wet the runners...hung the Merc from a beam, lowered the transom via the jack-stand and off she came!!...wet down the runners good, retied and off the hull came...wife didn't need the video camera after all...I think she was disappointed...LOL!!

Thanks for all the great comments and encouragement, Guys...w/this well of knowledge on this forum, I feel like I can do anything w/this boat...

How are things coming along? Your recent post about "developments" over the weekend and "not needing a trailer right now" have me concerned, what's up?

Good catch Hedge...things are moving along on a motor for this puppy...got some drivin' to do and work on the boat to make it work, but I'll post that when it happens...

The good news is, the reason I don't NEED a trailer is cuz I GOT a trailer...remember the one I posted "Wish It Was Mine"?...




well now it is mine thru some more finagallin'...and more drivin the interstate...of boat, motor and trailer I'm 2 for 3 and closin' in...

Speakin of trailerin' down the interstate...while on way to Charleston to sell the Aquasport that was on this trailer, a MORON came off the I-95 ramp and right into my lane to which I had to do a very fast left swerve into the next lane (thankfully I had just checked and knew it was clear)...w/boat on, this trailer never swayed, fishtailed or nothing other than follow the truck at 75 mph...I'm REELY likin' this trailer...

Thanks for askin'!!...

glad to hear it is all working out for you. The motor thing is just a "minor" issue as far as the boat is concerned.
