  1. $2600. Wow! I'm in the wrong trade! Rent a 30 ton boom truck with an attached man basket. Most crane rental companies would be about $150.00 per hour = $600. includes the crane operator. 1 guy in the basket for less than 4 hours, that tree will be on the ground in small pieces.

  2. I had an open deck trailer similar to what you are describing. I had chains on the rear & a boat winch mounted at the front. I hate ratchet straps. I drove the atv onto the trailer to a point where I could attach the 2 rear chains with hooks that also had safety clips. The chains are loose at this point. Go to the front & winch the atv forward until the 2 rear chains were tight. Then I attached a third safety chain to the front of the atv, in case the winch should become slack.

  3. I was launching at King's bay Marina on Georgian Bay. 7 bux to launch, 7 to haul it out. Parking was 7 bux - then she inquiries if I have a trailer? Oh! That's another 7 bux. Total $28.00. That was 10 years ago! I don't know what they charge nowadays - cuz I never went back! Robbers! Also, when I launched there wasn't even a rickedy old dock to tie the boat up while I parked my truck & trailer!! Beat that one!!

  4. I know this topic has been discussed here previously, I attempted to use the search function on this site but, to no avail. I'm wanting to purchase a newer hand held gps mainly for on the water but also adaptable to my truck is a nice feature. I have the hummingbird 798 in my boat with built in gps but now finding myself in other people's boat & want to be able to take my (new) portable along. I have an older Garmin 72 which is basically obsolete. I watched a few videos on the Garmin 76CSX & Oregon 400 ($600.00). I was impressed with the Oregon because of the touch screen - It's like my iPhone. I also liked the Montana T which is on sale right now at Cabelas for $600.00 - $100.00 off reg price of $700.00. What do you think of the Garmin GPS map 64 st? It's reg $500.00 reduced to $350.00. During my search I was surprised that Radio World had a small selection to choose from. On the newer models is there an easier way to edit a waypoint as opposed to scrolling through the alphabet to find the letter you want to insert? I find this takes to long to edit that particular way point. Do they come with preloaded maps, charts? I'm sure technology has certainly improved since my older Garmin. Recommendations from the knowledgeable members on this site is greatly appreciated. Thanx
