If the chick would have taken her shirt off, then the boat would have weighed a little less... it would have came right off


GOOD JOB BRADS... Way to always be there...


There is NO reason for an Airboat to be STUCK on that.... Whats wrong with that thing?

Brad, after pulling out a couple heavy loads this past year I found that a 100' or more of rope is a must have. You had the right idea. Instead of just grinding away on your motor, pull up as close to the other boat as possible then with alot of slack get you a running start in reverse and jerk the boat out. Its easier just to go back and forth and with a 100' or more of rope and let your momentom do the work. You wont blow a hole in the side of your motor that way.

See Josh should haven't sold that PD :mrgreen:

Cory you still running a 32PD and why would you not use your winch in the first situation? Snuggs seems you should start a towing business :lol:

If you dont have a solid anchor its tough to winch out anything.

poker, even if you got boats together and motors dropped all the way down?

Corey, you suggest a bigger winch if i get one? that 2000lb isnt enough to budge?
