Joe, Trailering is one of those timeless man things that we must do from time to time, whether we really want to or knot. The first rule to trailering, is to assume that you have all the knowledge necessary to do this, even though it might be your first attempt. The second rule is to always appear as though you meant to do something, even though it may know have worked out just right. Never practice backing up, just do it. It's one of those gifts given only to men. Of course, this is always best done in private, with no onlookers. No matter how good you do, onlookers will always find fault with your methodology. Well, that's all I can come up with for now. My drink is empty and I know I have another one waiting upstairs for me. Should you need any further assistance, don't be afraid to ask. After all, that is what this list is all about. Rummy In a message dated 4/12/2011 2:19:21 P.M.

I will have to take my boat out around July 4 for the long ride from Henderson NC to Hatboro PA. This is the number one recovery experience for me, and I have been over things (and over things) But, since this boat is so unique, and comes with a large store of owners willing to share wisdom, I want to avail myself of that benefit at every turn. I am getting a Triad trailer from our buddy (whom some of you may already know) Stan. So please, feed me with your time honored feedback and any lists, photos, descriptions, steps maybe even the appropriate grill foods or intoxicating liquids for such an occasion. Rummy: I know what you'll say, but what the hell, say it anyway. Thanks! Joe Camp s/v John DawsonSee the original archive post
