Talked to them today, new drive goes on tomorrow and they don't have to pull the motor in this case. Thanks for the suggestion though I'll keep it in mind.

If anyone has any leads on a used trailer, I'm interested, I totally agree that is probably the better way to go, just feeling a bit limited on options at the moment. Kinda wishing it was labor day weekend ;) ....... but only a little

Thats good advice, I'll make the call in the morning, hopefully in time. Thanks for the condolences.

Will do, Thanks for the post.

Welp, looking like the new drive will be on a truck tomorrow, and I should be on the water by Thursday evening if all goes well. I'm looking forward to seeing my old drive in person. I'll try to get some pics posted once I see it so you guys can check it out (if there is anything worth looking at)

I would have to agree with you. The person I bought it from was the original owner... which means I inherited about 10 years of his bad maintenance habits. Usually 'one owner' boats are a good thing... At least if it had changed hands a couple times it might have been serviced right. Pretty...

Once I replenish the bank funds I'll be shopping for a trailer HARD. Somewhat reassuring though that it is a relatively easy project, let's hope this doesn't happen again, but if it does, I hope to be a little more prepared.

Yep you just nailed my biggest problem, I have no trailer. I appreciate the insight though, I think I fall into the category of "dual problems" base on what I'm being told. Mechanic told me that the lower is completely shredded/useless and the upper casing might still be good, but he's not...

Nope, actually right next door at Crosswinds. I have to say, They have been good to deal with so far. I don't know much about their reputation, Moxie actually referred me to them. I'll keep you posted on their work.

Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this. First a very brief history. I had a feeling my gimbal was a little weak as it would "grumble" a little bit if I started the engine with the out drive trimmed up but it was a very minute noise. I did some checking and was told that the gimbal...

Willing to travel to pickup, I'm in the great lakes region. I'm open to anything at this point, if you are willing to sell a trailer that would fit my boat please let me know. Thanks

Nice!

i have a 99 260 Sundancer and am not familiar with trailer compatibility... any ideas if my boat would fit on your trailer?

i'm LAO also. in my opinion the more intelligent people we have carrying the better. as long as the people who carry have a good understanding for some type of use of force continuum i'm all for it (ie when you can use deadly force). know your case law, and know when you can use your gun. it...

is the consensus that boat depreciation levels off around 4-5 years? assuming all things are equal of course regarding condition...
