I really just wanted the tank.
Now you can get out your laser light leveler out and check the trailer over. Looks good from here....

Well, it is just Jim Beam Black or Bulleit Bourbon....I do need to get some of the big boys' whisky.
Head South and I'll meet you at @Tom Smart 's place and we'll sample his stash. Heck, we can both travel there by boat!

Welcome any time. Boats might be tough on these narrow, hilly roads though. And watch out for the deer they’re frisky this time of year.

Only cost 80 bucks to dump it. Bought a sawzall for 58 bucks And 1 pack of 25 blades for 16 bucks. Pretty good deal for a free trailer...
and you got a Sawsall too.
my thoughts exactlyI'm all about that deal!!!! $0 x 500⁰/⁰ , easy math
You should have just driven straight to the boat ramp and launched it, then driven away...

the two happiest days of a boat owner are the day they buy it and the day they sell it. Also boat stands for

On a different note...another officer and I were out working yesterday and heard on the radio from another district beside us on Claytor Lake, they were enroute to a hit and run boat accident. Ended up as a rental boat was leaving the slip after renting it. Hit four boats and left. Minor damage I believe. Blows my mind.

Way too many boats and inexperienced boaters out there. Between Memorial and Labor Days, I refuse to get in mine on weekends until about 6p on Sunday.
We have a little condo on a sound between 2 (low) bridges heading to the beach proper. By low I mean that even 16' center consoles can't get under them at high tide if they have t-tops. It appears to me that half the folks I see in boats and jet skis in this piece of water are teenagers... and they've taken to videoing themselves for social media going full speed under the bridges at high tide. It makes me sick to my stomach to see, knowing it's only going to take one small, unseen ripple and someone is getting decapitated. We've asked wildlife, uscg, and local PD to monitor the area - hope they'll do it before a tragedy, but they're all stretched pretty thin with drunks and idiots in busier waterways.
I won't fish southern Florida any more because there's just too many boats and people in them that don't know what they're doing. Mosquito Lagoon / Indian River is just about as bad.
Are you still itchy?
We enjoy fishing here in Florida but we avoid the weekends… and Friday is just about as bad. West central Florida.
From Mosquitos? Naw, actually I haven't seen many mosquitos fishing the lagoon. Gators for sure. No go down to Everglades, Flamingo, Chockolaskee, etc and I've lost a pint a blood in an hour to the little blood suckers.
