I did get a BOATUS membership. So I can get towed tommarow. I couldn't quite afford the tow even after insurance reimburses me. If anyone is around though I could give them ssome money to tow me to prescottt. Its much nicer then sitting here
Did you check your email? This mornig, I sent you the name of a guy (and a phone number) I know who's out on the St. Croix this weekend and would probably love to make some extra money.
Well suprisingly that turned out to be quite a fun weekend. A friend towed me down to prescott and we stayed at the dock there for another day and I towed the boat home later. It gave me a chance to get another axle on my trailer as it was only a single axle and I never had the boat off the trailer with me not on it.
Here are the pics of the carnage. I think the seal where the shaft goes into the upper unit was leaking. So I am hoping with a good cleaning the lower should be good. Hope to see everyone next week though.
FWIW In the future for all of you that boat the St. Croix--
I got a tow from these folks last year when my Mercruiser decided to suck in one of the flappers. I have no association with them other than they rescued/towed a buddy and I at 9:00 on a Sat. night last September. Although we were about 300 yards S. of Kinnikinnik State Park-we had no food and were down to the last beer.
