Subaru boxer lower ends aren't very good because the bearings are fairly small. Force feed it and it exacerbates the issue.

Yeah right Cutty, but you're a little out of the "need help" zone.

True story!

And besides Gas, you know you like to get lost from time to time.

Cayman S is a hell of a car too. One of my customers has one, he let me sit in it and start it up once. No drivey drivey tho....

Just saw this...been away from here for the last week. Some of these replies are

.

I think the pic makes it look bigger than it actually is.

I have not pulled it with anything...when I traded my last boat and trailer in I did not purchase a trailer for this particular boat since I rarely ever used the last one.

It is dry docked at a marina on Lake Norman. Believe it or not the Liberty I bought can tow it although I wouldn't want to tow it often with that vehicle. It has a 5,000 lb. towing capacity and this boat with a trailer would be less than 4,000 lbs. Yes you can ski behind it. I've pulled skiers but I'm not a big skier...I'm fine with one of those canvas covered tubes and such.

It's a tad over 25' with the added swim platform and would have been 23' without it.

Here it is at the marina being put away...

Here is where it sleeps...on the top row so I don't have to worry about other boats leaking crap on mine.

It's just a punk when running with the big boys...NASCAR guy's...banker's...doctor's...lawyer's...etc. that live around here...

As far as the other comments...don't hate

We don't have kids...I'm older than most of you here and I usually find good deals on stuff luckily. He11 the cars are kind of old now anyways but they're in good shape and paid for so we keep them.

I've seen some of the stuff other members have posted in various threads and

often !!

No this is Westport Marina off of Hwy 16 between Charlotte and Denver.

Wow...Norman is so much more populated than when we had OUR place down there as a kid.

We were WAY up north near the mouth. (long island) and there were very few houses ON the water up that way back then....had to travel down into the coves to see houses.

We had (have) a 21ft dixie in the bottom of pops basement that we use to take out and play on. But it hasn't seen the water in 3 years

And that was down at their place on tuckertown.
