    No tow points!?!

    I keep a tow strap in my Tacoma because it seems like a thing to have . I have little interest in burning my transmission if you don’t like buying snow tires . Learning how to use the energy ( recoil) created in a nylon tug strap is interesting, thirty foot strap will stretch about three ft...

    Boat Rentals

    No idea how fancy those boats might be . But costs will add up fast , especially when it’s an insurance job . You might think that bend antenna will be ok and that scratched radar dome is ok , but the contractor will have that in the quote . @nobbie , I remember the yard of hillbillies in Port...

    No tow points!?!

    Good job lads . For you folks the end up ditched and get the local guy . Tow drivers are often very lazy and don’t want to get wet/muddy . If it looks like it’s going to a body shop anyway they don’t pay much attention. Many have a steel J hook welded to a chain ( industry standard) and if they...

    Boat Rentals

    Probably lots of bent stainless and tubing , which is sure better than cracked fiberglass. Glass work is such a dirty business . Lots of opportunity for car trunk repair guys but if the yard and tenants are environmentally sensitive, good luck. One Karen with a phone and your cooked . Sent...

    No tow points!?!

    If you can’t find the screw in eye , which should have shipped with the car new , it’s in the spare tire well , you can hook onto the lower control arm on suspension, make sure your hook doesn’t touch the drive shaft for the front wheel drive , on the back end you can look at the rear A arm ...

    Boat Rentals

    Eventually they will bring in a couple cranes and start using slings to remove the structures , then sling the boats into trailers if they have one , or onto blocks in the parking lot . Much like a Florida hurricane clear out . Then comes the second problem , if the boat is out of production (...

    Boat Rentals

    It wouldn’t take much , couple warmer days and the snow gets heavy in some places , near Sequin anyone that had a temporary car shelter now has a pancake . Those boats over water will be a complete pain in the arse to move/ fix/ relocate . Most will probably loose this season . Sent from my...

    Vendee Globe and other sailing around the world

    I can’t imagine the cost of either labour or materials and I’m pretty involved in the business these days . Seven yr rebuild , original build took about six months lol . But when every port had a wooden builder , materials were a long walk away , now you order from hundreds or thousands of miles...

    You could also glue a cement siding panel cut into strips over the foam , decorative and may last longer than drywall . Ultimate is PVC panels , like razor or Azack , completely waterproof and hockey pucks bounce off . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com
