Yay your post count just got bigger...
Wow what a bunch of Debby Downers.
With attitudes like that they should just shut down this whole forum.
"Why should you fix your own boat when you can just pay someone money to fix it for you".
Because 30 bucks saved on something I can make myself= a couple hours of gas for spending time out on the water
Why make one?
For the sheer sense of accomplishment.
I don't have a transom saver, but I do use pieces of PVC pipe that have a slice cut up the middle that I slip over the hydraulic rams to prevent them from dragging on the road if a line or seal should decide to leak while trailering. Yes there is a company that makes these contraptions and yes they are less than 20-30 dollars, but I made my own for free. You know the old saying still holds true today as well you know. "A penny saved is a penny earned".
Come up with something and show us what ya got...
