Well I did it again....I went out and purchased a 1991 2300 maxum SCR. Last boat I had was about 30 years ago. It was a Grady White (wood) I think it was 18" or 20' it's been awhile. Picked it up near the PA/MD line tonite earlier this evening. Everything was going well on the way home until the sky opened up! It got so bad I actually slowed down to a crawl because I couldn't see 2 feet in front of me. Fourtunately my wife was follwing me and I told her(two-way radio) to put on her 4-way's to advise the drivers behind her and thank god everyone on the roadway used good judgement and slowed to a crawl and waited for the storm to subside. There was so much debris on the roadway that a branch pulled my trailer pulg away from my truck an I lost my lights. Luckily I was a mile away from home I'm just glad we made it home without any problems and I'm happy to be back in the game! :D:D:D:D

Re: I can't believe I did it!

glad there was no harm done. towing our boat always makes me a little nervous in the first place, haven't ever done it in a bad storm, i can imagine it would make me a lot nervous.

i just joined iboats last week, welcome. hope to see a lot of posts and pictures. congrats.

Welcome! Where are you from? I'm thinking you're pretty close to me.

Re: I can't believe I did it!

Thanks! Hopefully I'll get around to posting some pic's, but I got some work to do. I left the portal windows open last nite while towing :mad::mad::mad: so I have to do some clean up. I live in Londonderry Township home of 2 mile Island :eek::eek::eek:. Hopefully I'll get a chance to do a trail run at Long Level. It would be nice if I go just launch down the road off of route 441 but it's real shallow and if you don't know where you're going it can be very expensive!

Congrats on the new boat. Nothing like getting life's worse trailering experience out of the way early in the boat ownership life cycle. Its all down hill from that!

We got hit by that same storm, it was pretty wicked, all I heard this morning where chainsaws. Surprisingly, from what I've seen so far we lost no trees or branches even on our property.
