I’ve had good luck most years with people respecting the area next to the boat. This year I got a guy who decided to ride the inside margin of the left lane. I almost clipped him a dozen times going 15 mph on Saturday.

Now this wind just needs to lay down :/

With regards to the trailer, what made you go single vs double axle? I have to assume your boat is near the rated capacity of that axle?

Makes sense, good to hear someone who was smart enough to cut their losses and go new

Here’s one
After going out for din din the other night we goes for a ride, stopped by a local ramp and there’s this guy with a young boy working on a trailer, hub on his tailgate banging out races and all that stuff.. :-(

Felt bad for the guy but figures nothing I could do to help. After leaving I gets the idea to give him my old trailer if it would help. Drives back to the ramp give him my cell and says if you’re interested give a call... he calls next day after a double shift fire department and stops by , leaves with the trailer... all good

Gave him the registration to help with his getting a plate.. he gets home two towns away before looking at it and noticed my last name,,, he txt back and wanted to know if i knew Mike and Cathy,,, I says yes it’s my son, he’s there next door NEIGHBOR!

Go figure:-)
