Post Re: WC update building my barge 20/72 Dual Rig
Sorry guys boats basically finished. Dumb me tried saving money by custom ordering a trailer. First off I ordered cypress wooden bunks for a flat bottom boat. They ship my trailer with fixed slanted aluminum bunks. They tried arguing with me that they were adjustable. After sending pics they agreed that I and Pete are correct there not. I then have the bunks shipped back and they then ship me slanted wooden cypress bunks. Once again wrong damn bunks. They now have ben giving me the run around that there bunks are on back order from there supplier ECT, ECT , ECT. Now they will not return calls or voice mails . So I emailed them back this week and told them if I do not receive my bunks by Monday ( tomorrow) I will have my boat builder correct the issue. I will pay Pete for his labor and send them a bill. If they do not pay me back I told them My lawyer will contact them about meeting them in a local court ( which they likely won't being there located in Florida and I'm in Louisiana and I ordered online and not in Florida ) Iv never had to sue anyone and never planned on it, but I have not received what I paid for or ben reimbursement for my troubles. The trailer is Avery well made tandem axle trailer at a great price but they will not correct there mistakes for over 5 months now. Will I sur I dunno . I don't want too, I keep giving these people chances and they still screw up and now ignore my calls. Iv only ben polite and courteous to them. Am I in the wrong ??? Other wise my boat would of Ben done weeks ago !

You said you wouldn't need a trailer once you got it home right??? It'll stay in a slip of boat lift?

Find someone that'll give you the hookup on a tow truck ride, line the deck of a rollback with a couple sheets of plywood and bring that bitch home. Back it up to the water and winch it on back.... Just sayin... Depends on how bad you want your boat home :lol:

Don't forget to break a bottle of champagne over the bow of that big sonofabitch though as it slides down into the bayou.

I hope you get your trailer issues sorted out. I hate dealing with that kinda crap. There's an old sayin though. "Custom shit = custom problems"

It'll take everybody with a motor to tie onto your ass and pull when you bury that big bitch at the SETX ride :lol:

Can't push that thing with an airboat real good lol

Post Re: WC update building my barge 20/72 Dual Rig
Lol it has a 4500 lb built in winch. In all honesty this boat was not designed for zero water. It's a fishing rig. Kinda apprehensive about even bringing this big heavy bastard to SETX !!! Will be a sweet rig for what I'm using it for.

I'm excited to find out !!! Pete did a great job on the boat. Nailed everything I wanted don't plus some. I love the simple lay out and storage set up in front. Has a 32 gallon gas tank for when I get my boat lift built I do t have to worry about refilling it every other time I go fish. I'll isually on have no more then 16 gallons in the tank though. I'll have more pics and try to shoot some video next weekend.

Turned out awesome .. And the mud is supper soft (in some areas) as long as you have like an inch of water you should be just fine .. Plus the big 350/454 air boats won't have a problem pulling you around

Hopefully I won't need them lol. My leas is a lot like SETX mud run . Just dont have much experience with a dual rig . My last mud rig did fine . still got stuck time to time but for the most part did very well. Will be fun seeing what this boat will do.

Is your tank aluminum of plastic? I only ask because I hear metal tanks sweat alot if they're not kept full causing water in fuel. I have no experience with this first hand except when I was running equipment they made us keep our tanks full so we weren't dumping water in trackhoes and dozers
