Re: 1968 Holiday Restoration w/pics

Ok,, so the posting continues. I finally finished installing the rail guard inserts but wire brushed the corner guards. I dont know what to do with them yet.

Used palm olive soap to easy the access of the inserts.

Post up the date time and location of the splash. I'd like to try and make it out to watch, lend a hand if needed.

hahaha you guys r some funny c@#$% suckers. :D

Alright I went to the tax office to register the trailer. Well i dont have a bill of sale for the trailer. So i went there with a folder full non relevant papers & an old plate. I told the information lady that the wildlife had force me to come here & register my trailer. I was making it a little difficult for the info lady. i felt bad but I was going inthere with no prove of sale except with a plate & saying that this trailer is mine and trying to register it homemade. Well the lady said "Sir calm down we will get it straightened out." She took the plate & ran them!! By this time i was thinking "dam, I screwed up"! She came & said "Sir this plates are canceled & belonged to a so & so, is that the seller?" I bet I had a stupid face like scooby doo. I didnt know what tosay. So I said " yeeeeaaaaaah." She looked at me confused but said "ok no problem just fill this out & its gonna 67$" In my head i have struck a homerun ,,u know. But i said "man thats a little expensive but alright lets take care of it." Man i was the happiest man in that line, I was grinning ear to ear whileI waited an hour in that line. Whew, i thought I would have get a bill of sale & then have the cops look at the trailer and so on & so on. But i am ok,1 more step to splash down. I call this chapter "trailer hysteria"

I like your style man. Pretty bold to steal a boat and trailer, restore it and hide in plain sight :)

I expected more hassle on my paperwork crossing the border and registering but it was smooth sailing. She asked for a recall letter on my trailer going across the border. I said it's a 77 so I think it's pre-everything. She said ok, stamped the paperwork and I was off and running.



yeppers,, everything is legaly mine. zweet feeling

I hooked my trailer to fill my boats gas tank. So made sure all lights & everything works before the trip to the gas station. BTW regular is $3.38!! I hope it drops more.

one step closer there Azlo...... but i noticed that you may be able to move, except with the tide and current unless you have plans for a PROP??? :D GA is correct, it is REALLY hard to see it in the video, you may not get on plane. :cool:
