bottomwatcher Posted July 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 So here we go. Restored boat ready to sail. A datsun sized tow, even then I couldn't see it underway but thankful for the back up camera and switch that allows me to watch it. The launch and first sail was a success. The leaks were manageable with a sponge which is a win in my book. 3 Quote Link to comment
jagman Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Is the sail for pushing the truck? 2 1 Quote Link to comment

bottomwatcher Posted April 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Well I finally got back to Maine. This is today liberating it from the garage along with its German cousin. Both fired right up and got a proper rip session in. 2 Quote Link to comment

bottomwatcher Posted June 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Well today I finally put a hitch in the receiver I welded into my brush bar years ago. A buddy raved about moving trailers with the hitch mounted to the front of the truck so I put one in mine and never used it. Today I needed to put a trailer in my shop that clearance wise almosed needed grease to clear the garage door opening. So I finally decided to try the front hitch method. After about a 32 second learning curve I am now living in a whole new world! Holy crap! I am a dumbass for waiting so long! Love this mod and put it at even with the backup camera over the hitch for trailer life improvements. Now I sound like my buddy. Unfortunately pic is too big to attach. 5 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 I have a hole in the tractor bucket for a trailer hitch ball, and I'd like to put one in the forklift fork, but I don't want to weaken it. (I've heard of them breaking) 1 Quote Link to comment
DuallyDatsun Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 I never thought of putting a hitch on the front, but that is such a genius idea. Thanks for sharing! 1 Quote Link to comment

bottomwatcher Posted October 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 Well she is still rolling. Been working her pretty hard and the KAE and C series trans is going strong. Decided to clean her up, throw some kayaks on the top and hit the owlshead foriegn car show. Cool venue no pretentiousness of cars and if it ain't foriegn or a car everyone is welcome. I have gravitated towards the antique lawn tractor section lately. Anyways after the show a nice kayak paddle along the coast at Tenant's Harbor a quaint coastal town weaving among the rocks and lobster boats. Then off to a local brewery overlooking Maines rocky coast. Life is good. 2 Quote Link to comment
