Hi all,
Wondering if anyone coming to tradewinds would mind helping move our trailer from Tiki Water Sports to the race site on Friday AM. We are flying in from boston thursday night, and the rental car certainly won't work for this.
Will need to be a good size vechicle with breaks hooked up as its a 24 ft enclosed trailer with 5 boats in it, about 6500 lbs. total distance is about 20 miles, and we would be happy to make it worth your while in alcoholic beverages. smile
Would be a huge help! Thanks,
Chris

Actually I believe there are only 4 boats in it. 3 infusions and 1 very lonley N20 thanks to a certain former N20 owner that has crossed to the dark side.

I could probably do this depending on trailer hitch and light/brake plug configuration. Is it a 2" ball and 7 pin light hook up? I will be down there Weds. night with a Ford F150 with tow package. Where exactly is Tiki Watersports? North or south of Founder's park? PM with more info please. Thanks. Tim.

I will be there Friday before noon, towing a Sea Ray 24 to Founders Park. After that I can be of help. Depending on yer urgency, and the amount of alcohol and pizza you are offering, I may consider leaving earlier.

a 24ft enclosed will require a 2-5/16" ball, should be the 7 prong, round plug.

More than likely anyway.

Karl is right, its a 2 5/16" ball and 7 prong plug. I have the ball setup to fit any 2" receiver, biggest thing is the 7 prong round outlet and the break box. tiki water sports is about 20 miles north of the race site. Thanks for the offers!! greatly appreciated.
will send you a PM Tim,
Chris

Barbie will be with me this time so we can continue the "game" we started at the Statue race.

That of course assumes that you don't have a major wreck using an F150 when you really need a Tundra!

Its all good Todd, since the convert to the N20 was an F18 sailor smile

Its just a regional redistribution.

yeah, I think I deserve a little credit for the boat staying in the east coast racing fleet of N20's, including the tybee this year!

I have an E350 diesel van sitting at the Islander (MM82) this week. It's set up with 2 5/16" ball, round/7-prong socket, and electric brake controller. It just needs a driver...

It's yours if you still need it.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
