Great thread title. I'm surprised that boat still floats with the extra parts. :)

Just goes to show you how much fun it is to modify these boats.

Thats CLASSIFIED!!!

Only Highlander knows that answer to that question

Although, in addition to all that scotch I suspect he also store several racks of fine wine and rum....

Just a guess...

Well, that pretty much vindicates masteb on the single axle trailer - I guess we really don't need another axle.

That's only with 'air' in them - if you put scotch in them they are able to carry 10000 pounds or more!!
