I am finally buying my own boat/getting a promotion. I have been a "co-owner/first mate" going out with the uncles Baja. My uncle is stepping aside and sold his Baja, so now it is my time to pony up for the family entertainment.
I am looking at Fast Forward's Powerquest 26 Legend XL. If he steps up into a 29 then I am waiting to purchase his.
We usually put in at Worth.
On occasion I trailer out to Morris and put in at Govenor Stratton. The cross currents when putting the boat back on the trailer out there are a pain, so I don't do that often. I would rather spend my time on the water, not on the highway.
My uncle had a rack slip in Pastrick for years, but when the place started having problems years back he pulled out.

The Hydro Hoist was the best money I have ever spent. I don't miss trailering at all!!!! Good luck on the Powerquest. Hope it works out for you.

I am a few blocks away from Firehouse #2. I don't keep the boat at home. Normally it would be on a lift at Hammond but we need a bigger Riverboat so lets close the Marina for a year!!! 
This year the boat is under a full cover in storage. Sad year!

You must have brought it home sometime?
It has been some time since I saw the boat at that house, and when I did it was only a short time.
I am just got finished measuring my driveway to see if the boat fits on the driveway without blocking the sidewalk. Well the boat fits, but I think the trailer hitch will be in the sidewalk.
I live next to 2 House, and I work there...short walk.
