dang guys
this thread is getting to be longer then 2Sav`s boat thread. figured you all would have had this done and out by now. if only i was closer would be willing to help. and no it isn`t like an hr or two drive. more like 18 hrs.
think i need to start a poll thread on how many pages it is before you all get that there boat out and at someones house,trailer whatever.

I hate to rain on everyone's parade but has anyone thought to look into the legal issues involved? Or maybe nobody cares?

I mean this boat belongs to someone. Either the owner or some insurance company that paid the owner when it sank. I can picture the look on the rangers face when he pulls up and sees a bunch of pirates trying to salvage this boat.

I'm down to help you guys out but I don't want to end up in trouble either.

kow long wil it take you to get to kingman? or parker?

« **Reply #366 on:** May 14, 2009, 02:33:17 PM »

Dunno, lemme get my gps charged, it's a lot more accurate than mapquest, and it's still in the Blue Meaney, lol

I'm guessing maybe 4 hours. (Hopefully the bridge building in Wickenburg is done)

I'll get back to ya on that. Might as well keep the boat and use it over Memorial Day weekend. Maybe you can ID where the gasoline smell comes from. (I think the carb, not seeing any gasoline leaking anywhere)

I'm working all that weekend (Volunteered in order to get an extended 4th off). Maybe we can all get together again then, after the Father's day trip. (Still working on my brother and his girl to bring both boats.)

Jeremy, looks like Wikieup should be your side of halfway, and should be less than 3 hours from you, about 4 from me (According to GPS, I bet it's more like 3). That would put me there right about 5 or 6 pm Monday. Should miss rush hour in PHX too, which is good.

Theres a few restaurants and gas stations there too, so a good spot.

Seems to me I made Vegas before in like 5 and half hours though.

Turns out I'm off Tuesday too,

But can't go up there with you guys with the kids here, and then back to work at 4 am Wednesday,

Ray

Oc, what time do you plan on heading out? I have an interveiw at the airport a ten, should be free after that if ya want a ride along. Parker is about three hours away......We could take a quick spin and see what it looks like w/o all the ships, lice and barges.

« **Reply #369 on:** May 16, 2009, 11:18:13 AM »

After looking at it Ray, Parker may be a better spot. Its about 3hrs 20mins for both of us to get there and I wont have to go over the damn Dam!

Whatcha think?

Well, there's you and Terry, Jeremy's got my boat, so that's three. Chromey's not fixing his, so I'd guess he's free (sent Jeremy with a couple toddler vests, JIC Chromey tries the Babysitter excuse), I'd say you're ok if you have a few old tires or tubes layin around. More tha enough horsepower to flip it and drag it. I'd take some spray foam (The Door and Window stuff), and a couple tubes of silicone, but that's just me thinking out loud.

Left Jeremy with one rope, 25' I think, might need more.

This is just me guys, I would try lifting it. put some tires or tubes under the gunwales of it, then drag it right into the shoreline before flipping it. You've prolly already planned this with Terry's Yeager, but you might be able to flip it right into the water on it's bottom.

Just my .02, and you guys prolly already thought of that.
