I know, weird request. Last time we had the boat out I noticed one of the bunks on my trailer is broken. Obviously I can’t replace it with the boat sitting on it so I need to drop the boat in the water and leave it somewhere for a few hours while I replace the bunk. I’ll probably just end up calling the local marina’s and find someone with a transient slip but figured I’d ask here first. Maybe someone has a dock on the canal or an empty lift on the river they could lend out for a little bit tonight. ---

I can just grab it and cruise around the water for a bit while you fix the trailer. ---

lol looks tasty I’m just messing around, but I do think those certs are BS. You really just need experience behind the wheel and someone to show you the ropes before considering yourself a competent boater. ---

You really just need experience behind the wheel and someone to show you the ropes before considering yourself a competent boater. ^ This. Same reason I’ve always opposed licenses for boating. It’s nothing but a money grab. ---

Back on topic… Collins has transient slips for $1 a foot, so $18 is fine to know my boat is secure in a calm port. ---

Ha ha. My homeless and semi-trailerless boat was tucked back in my garage sitting on nice new pressure treated lumber bunks by 9pm last night. Worst part of the job was taking all the old staples out of the bunk carpet so I could re-use it.
