    Launched with truck camper.. WHEW!

    Well, we took our first trip with the truck camper and boat on. Wow! That Dodge diesel can pull a load. Anyway, we were at a state park on Lake Chelan, WA which has really well maintained ramps, however they are not that wide. My wife gets out to direct ( which she usually never does ), I...

    Ignition problems on a '64 Johnson 9.5 HP
