i 100 pct agree with Andy Johnson.... "A little hint...about a half hour before pick up, I will slip the PVC gloves down inside my chest waders to warm them up." This has made the biggest difference for me. Sticking my hands into cold gloves to pick up decoys used to just suck what...

I am jealous. I have very fond memories of NorEast snow storm and coastal NJ. Glad you got out. amazing how much more enjoyable a snow storm is when you can use it to your advantage.

This Sammy was a sailing one too. The daggerboard slot was remove by my friend in the early 90s. He made the dog box as well.

Capt Rich. I have enclosed a pic of the boats on the trailer. The system works well.... my sons cannot drive yet.

Thx. The shorelandr trailer is 100 inches. It fits inside my garage. The Sam Hunt box is 10.5' x 4' and Fricke box is 12' x 4.5' ( i am not 100% sure on the width dimensions). To get them both to fit on the jet ski trailer I had to raise one set of bunks so the boats slightly overlap. I...

Hey. Eric. Yup that was me. I was way in the back with my Fricke box The one on the trailer is a 1970s Sam Hunt box. In need of TLC But that will have to wait till next summer. I had a slow afternoon. Hope You faired better.

Evolution of my carvings... mid 80s, Hen red head, made while in HS/early college. I cranked out 3 dozen, Broadbills and Cans mostly. Often went hunting with the paint still damp from the night b4. early 90s, Hen mallard, I was a lil too creative, not the best blocks for a NorEast blow. Late...

Thanks for everyone's input. The transom saver sounds like a must. It is hard to find a transom saver for a mud motor. I am going to make a custom one. Because I am paranoid...In addition, this weekend I added 3/4" marine plywood to the cedar transom and re-glassed. I going with a mini...

Craig, I am concerned about the cedar transom holding up to the jackhammer effect of a bouncing engine. My friends and I have always just transported our boats without the engines on. The mudmotor is more cumbersome than a 15hp outboard and is a PIA to take on/off. As others have suggested...

Thanks guys. The Fricke box has a cedar transom. I never felt comfortable with an 85# engine bouncing on the back. I will look into the support system.

I currently do not trailer with my engines on. The mud motor is a PIA to get on/off at ramp. I was thinking of beefing up the transom so I could trailer my 15hp outboard and 7.5hp mud motor. Beefing up....adding 3/4" marine plywood and re-glassing. I have a 1996 Fricke Box and a 1970s...

Thanks Craig. I moved out of NJ two years ago and miss the salt marsh and black ducks. I appreciate the trip down memory lane.
