CONTINUOUSWAVE

Agree that yards might find the use of a forklift-mounted ball of utility -- they have much to do during the day and multiple trailers to move. in our yard at work, we also routinely respot trailers in a similar fashion. But this discussion seems to be aimed at the boat owner who has one boat on one...

Concur with JimH on all points. The benefits and utility of learning how to back a trailer proficiently more than outweigh any perceived benefit of using a front mounted hitch. I am contemplating adding a front mounted hitch to my van but that is merely to be able to temporarily mount my winch there...

So far, I love my 2019 E-TEC 90 hp. Less than 100 hours. Very trouble free. Good power for my 1970 Sakonnet.

Did the "Unusual vessel" look anything like this?

Thanks Phil -- Appreciate the feedback. If I sell, I'm hoping to at least break even, which would be slightly north of $15,000. The E-TEC engine was expensive.

Please give an apparaisal of the 1970 SAKONNET, E-TEC engine, and trailer as a package, as shown below. The boat is in mostly original configuration with original rails, rub railing, fishing pole rack, RPS, console and bow casting platform. sakonnet.jpg sakonnet2.jpg RPS.jpg casting-platform.jpg -- ...

Thanks Bob. That's too bad. Maybe we should schedule something anyway?

Is the Potomac River happening in 2022?
