    Do I need a trailer?

    I made these back in 1981 and still use the boat. Flat bottom 10 foot nice and light. During the winter I roll it under my Formula F3.

    Winterization

    Sorry if you guys thought I was giving advice to the op,I was asking the pros about blowing out the water out of the power steering hose or pore some antifreeze down the hose.

    Winterization

    Can you use an air nozzle on the power steering hose and push any remaining water out the leg, and if you don't have air compressor can you pour full strength antifreeze down the hose till the clear water is pushed out and you see antifreeze? Thanks guys

    1977 Mark Twain Worth It?
