    towing - engine in neutral?

    I was going to say the same thing. I always power load and have never even owned a bunk trailer. I do it myself, tilt the motor about halfway up, drive onto trailer until almost up to post, leave her in gear on low rpm to hold her in place while I jump over bow onto the trailer to hook on winch...

    Power loading isn't a concern where I go, nothing but solid rock below ramp.

    Vinyl Wrap

    Vinyl Wrap

    If I was going to do it I would go to the pro's, not do it myself. However if itd too expensive, I'll just live with my less then ideal color!

    Vinyl Wrap

    Anybody ever use this? My gelcoat has an orange peel effect and I'm thinking about vinyl wrap rather then trying to sand and buff. Also would like a different color then the current gelcoat color.

    New guy, floor repair questions

    New guy, floor repair questions

    Commonality with Auto Works

    My BIL has a new Nissan, that thing even tells you when are switching from paved road to dirt road. I love all the new tech. Wish my 2015 F150 had a backup camera every time I'm trying to back my truck up to the boat trailer hitch. I guess I'm getting lots of exercise hopping out of the truck...
