| Well today was a LONG day. 38' Commander hauled out for props, shafts, and paint.July 7 2006 at 8:08 PM | Paul (no login) | |
| Long day. Got up very early, drove out to the truck rental place, picked up this Ottawa yard truck powered by a Cummins diesel and automatic transmission. Something like 7.14 gearing, wouldn't go faster than 40-mph. Bobtail, no springs on the back, but ohhhh brother, would it pull. We idled up the ramp with the boat, no problem. Got it pressure washed down, blocked, and now the fun begins tomorrow. I'll post some pics later tonight.
regards, Paul
