Incredibly everything went somewhat smoothly. I was most worried about getting it on the trailer with no power and very bad winds. The wind actually relented, somewhat, so 4 of us somewhat easily maneuvered it in place and winched it onto the trailer.
Pontoon boats are horrible in the wind... even a slight breeze will send them scooting across the surface like a sailboat.
So the boat is in for repairs, as is the trailer. But 2017 will go down in history for breakdowns. I am actually do the point where I don't want to 'fix' anything.. because when I do two more things break down and I mean break down INSTANTLY. - JamesJM
