    Pfffffft. He's probably their number one man.

    They're all women in trailer maintenance. I'll bet they couldn't tell you which end the doors are on.

    I mean they aren't like trucking women. They're like soccer moms.

    They just Google repair same as everyone else.

    Love the old roadkill. Those 2 were TeamKnuckleHeads.

    That jetboat is just SillyAcceleration. I don’t think I would let just anyone drive it much less ride with them while they were driving .

    Alright Tommymonza, all those years in Boating, you don’t know enough people to haul boats for? I see Opportunities out there. Tiara, Sea Ray plants in Mi. to Florida, along with Snow Birds, seasonal Moves. Let’s put it together. Big Bucks, in Boats. I really wish I owned a Marina. Too many fools, with more money than they can spend.

    Don't you know boats are just holes in the water that you throw money in? Also boat stands for bust out another thousand.

    Give me another year of driving for Landstar or someone than maybe haul for this place out of Bradenton and learn the OD business. Joule Yacht Transport | Yacht and Boat Transportation

    Than maybe buy a lowboy boat hauling trailer .

    Buy boats in the fall up north than haul them down South and sell them. A 25 year old freshwater boat up north is in better shape than a 5 year old boat down south.

    There is some killer deals on nice big older boats up there in the fall and a few people would almost pay you to take them off their hands so they get out of the storage.

    I’ve got a buddy that owns a small marina up in Massachusetts. He gets where he won’t even pull out and store boats older than 10 years because so many people walk away from them.

    I reassembled a 50 Tiara here in Florida after it was trucked down

    Had to reinstall the rudders and prop shafts and fly bridge and electronics, steering and throttles

    Big job.

    My buddy had quote to ship his 42 Silverton from Michigan to Florida 8 years ago.

    $14000 to move it $5000 to remove and install flybridge and marina fees.

    So he brought down the Mississippi. 16,000 in fuel and wear and tear on the motors.

    Sounds like LA wants to keep the homeless on the streets. Keep it up and Los Angeles wont have any tax payers.

    Some lady from corporate called and said I will be receiving 2 days layover pay courtesy of the trailer maintenance department.

    I suppose that's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

    But The OM and I really just wanted to go home.
