CLEARLY A RESCUE BOAT...easy guys hahahahahaha no need t' wig out...I'm kidding....<---hands in the air backing away from the "unit" slowly hahahahah rule 1 ya can't taser the fish into the boat? hahahaha
[quote="shawneramone"]Looks like we have some more competition.
It must be fun trying to get that jon boat up there.
I've got a FOOL PROOF way of getting the new rig on top of my pathfinder in the spring ...'took some thinkin' 'cause I'm SMALL dude...so I came up w/ a chain fall(cable) and wooden rollers---hook the rig to the maple in my yard... back up to the tree ...set 'er up against the backside of the SUV...hand crank up(put a towel over the "roll" of the back of the truck so ya don't scratch up ya s*** ...personally I take ALL features off my pathfinders(I've owned 4 now) for less drag and it works out great for securing a small topper that my racks are off the truck...I use ratchet/straps & BAM ...credit my oldest friend for the idea...he's in a town union---work smarter not harder he says---use a chain fall...hm...no s*** way t' go Eric ! hahahahahaaa
Besides boats are like trucks...I've been "My buddy with the truck" so many times I should open a moving company...once a few a' my boys realize I've got the boat finding a team-mate shouldn't be a problem...hahahaaa onlyShawn would notice a FATAL FLAW hahahaha
the rollers should make it easy...flip 'er into the drink and bolt down the decks and motor & batts...no? ALL bad ideas?! hahahahahaSo how do you get it back on after the tourney? What if you want to fish alone?
K-Man...chuck is a GENIUS...i hear he once put a 55lb thruster on a 2" x 6" x 10' plank and still had a FULL BAG at 2pm.! Maybe he could teach The Powder Blue Ninja some balancing techniques ?
88 lbs huh? Mine weighs 125 according to the specs. I was putting it on my ford focus all summer. Even using a blanket I scratched it all up. I'm getting a hitch and a trailer before next season
I'm thinking of taping off the "roll" @ the top/back section of the truck...body man's tape(envision a 4"-6" sections that runs the entire back width...after masking the area off...one COULD use that new spray rubber to seal that area COMPLETELY---I wouldn't exactly suggest this for a vehicle still in "finance" though ...and donate any of the extra spray sealer for the "Muffin-Man SCUBA team"hahahahahaa
ive used hot water pipe insolation way back in the day. ya gota get the good stuff. the cheep stuff will levave some scratches (armor flex) workes well
this is my boat. I have a Mitsubishi Outlander. I bought it last year and didn't want to rough it up by trying to get a boat on and off the roof. I shoulda made more of an effort to get a hitch and trailer but I was too busy fishing. The focus was perfect. I could slide that thing right up onto the racks no problem. I probably would have done less damage if I cared a little more. I only used that car for fishing and boy did it stink. I cleaned it all in the fall and now it will sit in my driveway. You see I didn't trade it in to try to force my wife to get her license so I wouldn't have to drive her around all the time. That didn't happen. I brought up selling it and she's like no I want it...ok? My son will be 16 in 2 years. It'll make a good first car.
