    I would agree with the other post , you will get a rim and tire heat from pulling , and the break tires are going to be a little warmer then the tag tire( no Brakes) I always check my bearing buddies to make sure there is a lot of grease in them the grease helps keep them cooler, and check by pulling on the top of the tires to see if you have a lot of play.if so the bearing a loose or a little worn .Rule of thumb for me is repack the bearings every two years if they need it or not. That way i can check them for rust and replace the seals. The few hours ever other year will safe you a ton in repairs.

  2. Let me see if I can stop him from scraping it and if I can get photos of it. I have seen a photo he took this spring . for a 78 it looks pretty good and it has a full camper top ,the boat is blue and stored outside of Holland in a barn

  3. spoonfed He had it on craigslist had a few bites but got p.offed when some had him dewinterize it ,and then told him he really wasn't looking for that kind of boat. Nice guy.

    paul from what i could see it was water ready besides adding your riggers and rod holders.

    Really wish I had room for it .

  4. I just talked to a friend that has a 23 foot slickcraft that is in pretty nice shape with a newer trailer and a motor that has about 30 hours on it . It's a great boat for the big lake and once was, still has the trac still on it . He tried to sell it a few year ago and no bites and wanted 1,500. Now he is going to scrap it out and just sell the trailer. I just can't see that, what a waste of a boat. :confused: For someone starting out this would have been a steal.
