BaitTank Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 can you repost platform photo or post link. I need a ladder as well. my kid thinks the poling platform is a diving board... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidmotion Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 if you go back to the first page, you can see how it is made... the photos that are missing are not from my boat. we all jump in and swim, as it gets pretty hot out there sometime. i was thinking of taking a dunk the other day...then a 7' bull shark came around the boat... neeeoooope.

squidmotion Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 also, we have now learned that we can dry launch and retrieve with the new trailer! i just back down till the hubs and axle are just out of the water, then a slight push, and off she slides! i do the same on the retrieve, and she winches back up... it's a little more work, with the winching, but it isn't hard. and i'll do anything to keep that axle and hubs out of the salt water! we even beach launched it using this technique last week and it worked great! exciting.

white rocket Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Squid, I got a can of the Meguiar's Hot Shine Foam. Is that the stuff you use for your bunks. I wanted to give it a try but wanted to make sure I had the right stuff. I don't want to damage the bottom of the boat. Thanks Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidmotion Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 that's what i've been using... how could this stuff damage the boat? well, other than making it slide off onto concrete if you aren't careful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squidmotion Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 no help for MILES. luckily i had enough cell service to call a buddy, who called one of his buddys to try and find me... meanwhile, i managed to shove the bow around back the way i came in... they found me, but they couldn't get anywhere near where i was, so we joined up anchor ropes, and he pulled me from wayyyy up ahead near the top of this photo... it was a dumb move on my part.. i knew the tide was low, and went for it anyway... when i came around that corner, i knew i was in trouble.
