After a year and a half she is back in my driveway!!

[Nitrousbird]

Almost 2 years ago, low oil pressure took out the motor on my boat. Lack of funds parked it until now, and about a year and a half ago I put it into my uncles' open face barn.

 

Well, today I brought her home. She stayed pretty dry in there; very little mildew on the vinyl, nothing seems rotted, smells normal, and other than needing a bath (especially the cover), and a motor rebuild, she's doing pretty well. My Jimmy seems to tow the boat a bit better than my Blazer used to, which is a big plus as well.

nice boat

just a FYI columbus code states that you can not have a boat parked in you drive way at any time.

Both of my neighbors got letters in the mail to move them. You should not get a ticket at first usually they will mail you a letter and give you 15 days to have it moved first.

Reynoldsburg code (trust me, I checked) allows you to park your boat either in parking area (aka driveway) on your property, or in your back yard. In either case, the trailer must have current tags on it. Also was told by the R-burg zoning person to park it in my driveway when I had it parked in the grass a couple years ago.

 

That said, I'm probably going to still try parking it in my side yard w/ concrete pads under the wheels/front caster and see if I can get away with that. This is where the zoning codes don't really cover, and is up to interpretation.

 

Thanks for the compliments on my boat. It's alright I guess; I've been around enough nice boats that I feel this one is good for a first boat, nothing more. When running right (and the right prop, which I finally sorted out after trying 4 different props), it will pull me out on a slalom ski, which was important to me. Condition wise, it's FAR better than many of the similar boats I looked that were being sold for thousands more.

Looks like a pretty nice boat, it would suck not having it for almost two years.

I wouldn't cross Lake Erie in my boat....it is NOT designed to handle waves. Inland waters only.

Rod knock. The oil pump pretty much let go (low oil pressure), and that was that.
