Yeah. I know what you mean. He owns Boar Wheel www.boarwheel.com but has no swamp land for sale. Only tires and wheels that seem to be innovative and high quality. At least his satisfied customers think so. John SweePea

I will be buying new tires for my single axle trailer and have been doing some research. Came across this video. Interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1iv0sHjU2Q John Swee Pea

From the Loadmaster Website: http://www.loadmastertrailer.com/single-axle/ H/D SINGLE AXLE Boats ranging from 18′ to 21′ at a 5200# GVWR. From the research I did, backing a dual axle trailer causes two of the tires to drag as you maneuver, causing premature tire wear. Four hubs to grease...

Hey David, I have a Loadmaster single axel aluminum trailer rated at 5200 pounds, 15" tires that easily holds/tows my 22' Cruiser safely. When I bought it, it was overkill. Dealers sold the 22' with single axel trailers galvanized all the time and I doubt they were unsafe. John Swee Pea

Not saying that you have to buy one of these G&G Boatlifts, but the principle is the same. Secure the front eye, jack up the rear using two jacks simultaneously, then lift the front of the boat pivoting on the jacks (get jack stands under the bottom) then push the trailer under the boat when...

Figured out how to show a picture in a reply/topic. John Swee Pea

You would think after all these years as a Brat I would know how to post a picture from my Brats Album to a reply. I can create a link. I used a simple bracket attached to my antenna to secure a hand held spotlight that can be directed out the window just outside the captains chair. Works...

Has anyone ever used "Wet and Forget" to attack this problem? Might work if you are dry-docked for a while. John Swee Pea

Been away for awhile. Look in my Swee Pea album where I used the Yakima racks - work perfectly. John

Take it from a non-mechanic who has paid dearly for carb rebuilds - DRAIN THE CARBS. Since I have started this practice, my Honda 90 starts every time (knock on wood). I use Sea Foam, Stabilizer, and Startron as well. So far, so good. All cheap insurance vs carb cleaning and rebuild. Just...

Try this site. They have everything that you would need - just add a little elbow grease (or a polisher you can get from Walmart) and you should be in good shape. http://www.auroramarine.com/homex.html John Swee Pea

Yes, I tow a 22 C-Dory (Swee Pea) with a truck camper, but I have a smaller camper/tow set up than yours. I have a Northstar Freedom truck camper "housed" on my 2004 Ford F150 4x4 FX4 with a 5.4l and a trailer tow package. The truck handles both with ease as the Northstar Freedom is...

I just purchased a like new Carry On 7000 hatch mounted air conditioner for my 22 from a "local" off of Craig's List. It cost $250 and is rated at 6200 btu's. It has all the attachments and like I said, it is immaculate. I intend to use this while on shore power at our dock in North Carolina...

Last Friday, my wife and I caught 15 nice sized blue crabs off our dock in NC (Bath). In one pot, we steamed the crabs (fully seasoned)and at the same time dropped into the pot two potatoes, cut into 1/8ths, threw in two ears of corn, husk still on, and steamed them all together. The last 4-5...

Bought the 7/8"-1" socket. It comes with a spacer if you have a 7/8" rail. With no spacer, there is approximately a 1/8" gap between socket halves. Leads me to believe that the rail is 1 1/8". They do make a 1 1/8" to 1 1/4" socket, but returning what I have is not worth it - shipping costs...

Thank you all for taking the time on my behalf. This site is a very special place with special people. :smile John Swee Pea

Anyone know for sure the diameter of the bow rail on a 2004 22' Cruiser? I'm guessing it is 1". I am looking to get a flag socket and they are availabe for a 1" and 1 1/4" rail. I suppose a 1" would work with a 1 1/4" rail, but I would rather get the correct one, since they are expensive...

www.auroramarine.com I have used their products and they work. Buy a $30 Ryobi 6" buffer/polisher to help with the "elbow grease" - Home Depot. John Swee Pea

Been slow at getting started this year .... have a lot on my plate. Needed to get the trailer inspected and was the perfect opportunity to clean the boat bottom and coat with Aurora VS721 - good stuff. So, off the trailer and let the buffing begin. :lol: Then I noticed that the %#@&* rub...
