Alright - I have seen a few of these setups around and they look pretty similar (either one guy/outfit is building or you can order from a manuf.). The plates are plastic. Each boat ontop is 260 lbs apiece so we are not talking crazy weight. A couple of PVC tubs to hold sails and lines / Masts...
I have IKON and Epic passes. Both are great and easy to break even on. If you plan on skiing / riding in CA IKON covers it. Park City and Whistler are Epic.
The pro Rs are really nice and turn key. What kind of cracks me up about this whole thing is there really is no noticeable performance difference on the top 3 cars. Why would you want to put up with the headache at this point unless you live or are 50% plus based in Havasu. Even then is it worth it?
It really is pretty lame that the Havasu Boating Community cannot work together on this Month. It is the opening spring event and could draw a lot more people from the east and mid west if they make it worth while to tow out. Rising tide raises all boats.
So I was thinking back to a conversation I had in the channel with an older guy that bought his first boat. A new Southbay Pontoon with twin 300 verados, nice interior, at the time unique composite floor - not carpet. He basically said give me your best boat on the lot I am not taking the money...
Sorry for your loss. I have a Bendpak lift and they are awesome. I would see about going wide as bay like others have said. 220 power. You do not have to bolt to floor if you do not want. They make drip trays for them and all kinds of cool attachments for Jacks etc in order to work on vehicles...
Spot on. Like boating if you added up the cost per hour it makes zero sense. I joke with my Dad that I was absent from school the day they covered - if it flies, floats, or fucks - RENT IT. :D
My office is in my hangar at LGB off of 26L. From work to my house door is 1.5 hours. It was and still is a commitment. Being able to spend the afternoon at my pool in LHC and back for a commitment to my boys the same day - priceless.
