I know this may be a stupid question... Just talked to my wife's cousin. He is purchasing a new trailer for us, having it set up for my truck (gave him the measurements of the hitch) and then hopefully in 2 weeks we can go pick up the boat! Now the dumb question, the trailer has disc...

I agree about Camden Yards. My father and I had partial season tickets the first 3 years that it opened. It is so different going out there now a days, every game back in those days was pretty much sold out! Definitely not the case now!

That is all good inof! A few issues i will have though are, how will the registration work. It will be registered in VA to the owners (Wife's cousin) and i assume i will have to bring a temp tag with me? Also, i will not know the lug size until i get there, that is fine though, i will...

Thanks guys!

This is good stuff man! Thanks!

Well, It looks like i will be picking my boat up in the next week or two. I am a bit nervous, the trip is about 220 miles and i have never towed a trailer bigger then one for jetskis. My truck is an '04 Dodge Ram 1500, the boat is a 2000 215 express cruiser. Any advice? Do's and dont's etc...

Thanks techmitch! I will have to look into that marina. I figure its about time to get a boat, lived around water all my life and have never had my own boat!

Hello, I am about to purchase my first boat, a 2000 Sea Ray 215 Express cruiser from a relative, we are getting a great deal (I think anyway). I have some concerns about storing it. I am completely new to this... My plan is to keep it in a slip until winter approaches and then, if possible...
