No I did not. I will be heading out tomorrow though. It seemed really fast though. I actually passed a boat for the first time and then died right in front of him.lol
Spent a couple hours searching for a very basic plastic swivel oar lock for an old Sevylor and wondering why nobody carries them anymore...
Any updates? Did you get it and were you able to take it out yet?
It was always a pain to lay it on its side on the hitch carrier so that is an added bonus. Here is a video of it.

Maiden voyage day for the Aprex 12 footer. She held up well in 5 to 6 foot seas for a 16 year old.. Got her to 29mph on back bay flat water. The boat moves fast with thw 15 honda it came with. Engine runs great but wont idle and only starts with choke. Slow speed jet??
Nothing ruins a day like heading to the DMV.
Scoured the internet for Texas trailer licensing info. Called into the DMV concerning unanswered questions and clarification. Got a list from them of items to bring and how much it was going to cost. Even got cash so didn't have any check or credit fees.
Right up to the desk and presented info thinking it'd be a breeze. Dude says I need to have additional forms, pictures taken, to swing by a weigh station for verification and then an inspection station to verify the trailer. All this for a $225 trailer with a gross weight of 1500 lbs? After telling him of my extensive research which included a conversation with his department, had to start an argument and call out the bull-sphit.
After a while, got the additional requirements waived. Became even more pissed when the registration fees came out more than half the cost of the stupid trailer and more than double what I was quoted on the phone and what I had in cash. Thank you for charging an extra 6% for having to use a credit card since you lied to me.
Sorry, just needing to vent.
I finally got my boat, motor, and gas can to fit on my 500 pound rated hitch carrier. We are taking a trip to Panama City and my wife likes to pack the whole house when we travel. So now she has the entire SUV to load up and have my carrier for my baby. It is also so nice always keeping the outboard upright.
