View attachment 7551 Friend at Santo Tomas just bought this...thoughts?

I for one think this is a killer boat and I would love to have it to drag behind by boat while exploring Powell. When you get way up on the Escalante or San Juan areas of Powell it is very comforting to have an "alternative mode of transportation" if necessary.

This was a great boat for Penasco that I regret selling a while back. SeaDoo Explorer. Would be awesome on Powell as well!

J: was it hard to launch?

J: was it hard to launch?

Yes but part was it was first try....pretty heavy...big motor and balancing out that weight adds wore weight....I think as the tide comes in higher it would be way easier...man does it fly!

I had this trailer which worked great for beach launching, I added a 10 foot aluminum extension for when the tide was low and used my quad to launch. A guy in Encanto now owns this trailer.

Great idea with the extension

I love that trailer. How big a motor did the boat have?

The right way and...the wrong way

Here is a nice jet ski that can get you to bird Island pretty fast.

The Sea Doo Explorer was a jet drive and total dry weight was 710 pounds. Aqua Cart has a 6 wheeled version as well for heavier boats.

We have been carrying our inflatable and 10 horse motor to the water. It is not easy to launch in any rough water.
At my old place in Cholla at high tide we walked down our stairs into 3-4 ft of water. It was a neat set up.

Bet this was built by the deer down your way for the trophy hunters.

Come on Jerry, I'm going to give you some "happy pills" as a Christmas gift for 2016. Your glass is not half empty, it's completely empty!

Hard to be happy with that poor thing and a million flies where I usually set up my beach chair

 

[MIRAMAR]

Ok I agree with that. Hopefully the tide will take it out soon

That's crazy to think about. Better get a tractor in there and haul it off because your house won't be usable for months. Beachfront living has its downsides...

Jan. 9 high tide in the middle of the night might do the job
