Serious question here. never mind.

KoJac is back! Great to hear from you guys again. Sorry you haven't found a solution to your problem yet, but you guys will figure it out. How about some updated pics of the unofficial CSR mascott?

Why don't you guys just leave the pig at home ??.:huh:. Problem solved. :smt038

+1 on Wayne's comment :grin:

Being more serious... Forespar is a good company, so the Nova Lift should be good...BUT.... have you got a winch on your boat???

Are you trying to lift him out of the water off the dock out of a dingy????? When I look at their web site and pictures I don't know if there is enough clearance to swing him over the side of the boat.
150 lbs. wow he is a little porker.

Sorry cpt but I don'r have an answer on the lift. Just want to say it's good to have you and LA back. Hope you wintered well?

 

[cpt. sundancer]

Thanks for the comments,I might just build one,it would be cheaper than buying one.

Ko-Jac is full grown. He put on a few extra pounds this winter but is already taking it back off. No one in this house winters well..... Not even our poor pig!!!! Posting pictures of KJ on this place is not a thing I want to do any more, the cruel bullying teasing and ridicule last year was more then Capt and I could deal with. I would gladly share them with in you a private email if you like. just email me lacook@charter.net He has become a very handsome adult pig, as far as pig go . Leaving KJ at hone alone for more then 4-6 hours is NOT an option. A bored and or angry 150 pound very smart pig alone in your home just isnt a smart move, trust me we know. Finding a pig sitter or a pig boarding kennel isnt as easy as one would think. Beside Ko-Jac is part of our family. We would no more leave KJ at home then we would not offer you a drink. The real solution is a different boat. Just not in our immediate future at this time.

Did I mention I am bringing pulled pork to the Atlantic City gathering.

You just aren't looking in the right places. They have a bunch of pig boarding houses around here in Smithfield...

And I hear you'll get your pig back in better condition...

 

[mistercomputerman]

That Smithfield housing is just temporary...until they get to their final destination.

I would have thought the children would have gotten this out of their system by now, it' been a year.

Hey Lacook, welcome back! Please don't take these bunch of rednecks seriously. I don't think anyone means any harm. I think KJ is pretty cool and is or should be the CSR mascot! Please keep us posted about your adventures this summer. You do have fans here……

They are getting a lot of advice on this site. Perhaps they should consider clicking on "What's this" and help to support the site.

I just changed my take-out order tonight from wings to pulled pork

I have no idea what the inspiration was.

Welcome back Capt and La

We really did miss you!
