Yup, and that boat would already be on my radar anyways ;D I keep real clear of any resemblance to the family boat setup. Especially this one here!

Post by: jeepnsam on July 27, 2010, 06:21:19 AM: U mean to tell me that little water coming out of the drive is NOT A JET??
OK OK OK so it's a stern drive weep hole LOL!!! BUSTED!!!!

There's no www.socalbowriders.com (http://www.socalbowriders.com) site so I have to learn the rules and ways of boating from the experienced (you guys) since we share and use the same water...so I READ, READ, LEARN, READ, then practice when the local ramps are not busy.

But I gotta tell ya..only my 2nd "EVER" launch and retrieve and I didn't kill, bump or bang anything or anyone and it didn't take me more than 15 minutes for both. Backing down is still a challenge, but so is living in SoCAL on a budget. LOL! Steering a boat is a lot harder than driving a lifted and locked Jeep over the rocks. With the Jeep, rock rash is a trophy...with the boat...wax and polish to keep it pretty.

Thanks
Sam
