Read it again Dawg... you can tow it with the civic and be under the GVWR that requires annual inspections of vehicle and trailer. Towing it properly with a FORD truck is when they pull you over to show annual inspection stickers!

As long as we can hang together Andy.. we're good ! lol

A good camera man (or in this case gal) never leaves their post ! lol

Good to see the paints holdin up on all those lunds and nobody needs the codes!

Next time.. grab two sticks of wood and bang them together.. it will follow you.. for life ! lol

They used Tremclad on those....

With all the boat strip and paint threads and the supposable "need" for special paints for below water I thought I'd look into what Lund paints their boats with. Much to my surprise... it's the exact same paint I have on my airplane for Lund boats prior to 2005. PPG Concept.. just a good single stage.. 2 part car paint. They are now using PPG... Delta or Delfleet, which is just the next generation of the Concept. No issues on mine after two full season sitting in the water from Early May to Late October. Bottom paint is flawless still. So if anyone has scratches, etc... here are the paint codes. In the Midland area Dave Doherty at D&S Auto Body has the PPG mix rail in his paint booth.

Some great supper there.. exactly what I'm eatin from the freezer tonight !! Now about that 1/2 nickel bag... they sell those anymore.. lol

The whole thing's weird Andy... rumour all around town that they found him in one place and his boat in another today and no "official" news of that.. so I'll leave it as a rumour.

What a great family outing Drew.!!!! Now who's the scared'est...

See ya tomorrow bud !

lol.. oh ya.. jarvis and dundas. Not real wimmens up at Church and Gerrard....

Here's the infared from April 23rd. Bright turquoise is the thickest ice. Black open water or thin, clear ice Dull/ dark blue thin ice with little or no snow cover Bright turquoise thick ice, snow-covered ice or snow on unforested land (e.g. clearcuts, farmland

Lot cheaper than them gals at Church and Gerrard Raf...

Ernie.. send me two .. thanks ! lol

I don't think anyone is disputing keeping the junk off the highway. The issue really is the weight logic and how it's arrived at is wrong using the GVWR of the trailer. If it's a boat trailer and you have the boat on it.. that should be the GW of the trailer. This regulation was originally written to target small contractors with a single truck and tandem axle work trailer in questionable condition..not guys hauling their boat to the lake or RV. Interesting how the RV trailers are exempt.. well not interesting they lobbied to keep them "out of the equation". I'm apparently illegal to haul a brand new boat and trailer behind my 4 wheel drive, long wheel base F150.. but someone can hook it up to a little car with a lower GVWR and their total GVWR would be legal. Extremely dangerous though...

Thief !

One helicopter out a good portion of yesterday. Still nothing as far as I know.

Didnt' say it was smart... just that the ice is still there and will be for a couple weeks yet. I'm gonna lose my ice out bet of the 28th I know that. Be lucky if I can drive the boat up the lake on the 11th.

You have to have your tow vehicle and the trailer safetied Jon... every year.

That's what I understood based on the RV magazine yacking about this weight reg for the last few years.. So you go to the scale and weigh just the truck with the trailer attached to it and that's your weight. Then as long as the trailer itself on the scale.. still attached to the truck... weighs less than 6173lbs your good. Now if they go by "sticker" GVWR on the trailer.. all dual axles are probably outta luck. Just have to find the list of "light duty trailers".

I know the lads ripped down Temagami, on sleds, on the weekend to fish a speck lake up the North arm...

I know that Rick.. but never hurts to have the numbers anyhow... and also note been a long day and my math was wrong and I'm over the weight anyhow even with real boat/trailer weight. What they should realize is a dual axle trailer is safer than a single. Everyone with a double axle trailer, or a 3/4 ton truck pulling a single, is going to get hit with this. Even if you pull the decal off the trailer tonque I'm pretty sure singles are considered 3500 lb and duals 7000. You'd think they'd put the GVWR on the trailer ownership.. but instead they put it's actual empty weight. The really dumb one with this "crack down" / legislation is I can haul an RV trailer that's a lot heavier than my boat and they're exempt ! Recreational should be recreatonal use period !
