Powerplay last rip and winterize today, had to replace a bunk on the trailer so I decided to throw it in the water and go for a ride, ended up taking a 2 hour ride and burned half a tank lol

You make we want to buy a trailer and do this work myself. Getting ready to cut my next $1000+ check for storage, toon cleaning and winterization.

Boats gonna boat.

I TOLD YOU TO BUY A TRAILER YEARS AGO

also, move to where i kept my boat for a while this past summer [MENTION=340]Eagle[/MENTION].

i think it's less $ than where you're at, more protected & less busy.

I winterized my boat last week with $18 worth of 12 gallons of pink stuff from menards, some ear muffs, and a rubbermaid containter.

I fogged mine on the ramp when I pulled it out of the water, oil change, 4 gallons of pink fuel filter, oil filter, I think I’m into the winterize for maybe 50 bucks

Sounds about right. They shrink wrapping it and storing outside?

Just don't buy the trailer Munson sells its junk.

Hydraulic lift toon trailer for the win

 

[Yaj Yak]

except when towing it distances, at speed. scissor trailers aren't fun in the turns

Started to rust a month after delivery. Dealer offered to touch it up. Now has about half a dozen rust spots. Center light on the back isn't even in the center. Brakes were making noise last time I towed with it. I just don't like the build quality. Should have done a galvanized trailer.

the lakes are extra crispy. didn't venture up there.

 

[PANDA]

winter toon out creeping?

I got some ice around my dock and lifts but outside my bay it's wide open. haven't seen a boat for weeks.

 

[Yaj Yak]

yesssir.

first time ive made it out this year. but it's been out a good amount.

it's got more mods this year. the front furniture is removed, 15 salt bags on bow, plywood wind shield up against enclosure




hard to see here, but grass lake had ice across most of it yesterday

 

[PANDA]

Honestly not very excited about this cold snap so early in the winter season. The lakes will thaw again before they freeze for good. River was 44* when I hit it with the temp gun on Sunday. I really want to ride the chain this year. Would be AWESOME if I you could make it thorough Johnsburg and not have to deal with open water but I'm not holding my breath.

 

[Yaj Yak]

why aren't you excited though?

 

[PANDA]

I feel like the lakes will freeze, then heave, then freeze again. Making it rough for snowmobiles

 

[Yaj Yak]

i feel like heaves are from freezing too solid and buckling

 

[Yaj Yak]

this bro ain't going anywhere anytime soon.

 

[PANDA]

Looks like the lower in July/August. At least lower that outboard bro. My guess he dont give a fuck.
