Be careful in Florida State Parks if you drive your boat on to your trailer, and then have someone hook it and then pull it up the ramp out of the way.
It is against the law in Florida to pull the boat up the ramp once it's on the trailer if there is anyone remaining in the boat. I got a ticket for this in '05 at St. George Island State Park, and I took it to court to fight it and lost. You cannot even MOVE the trailer if someone is in the boat on the trailer. Stupid ticket only cost me $75, but I was hit with over $100 in court costs. It seems a boat ramp in a state park is considered a "state roadway".

"It is against the law in Florida to pull the boat up the ramp once it's on the trailer if there is anyone remaining in the boat"
This is one of those, "you have to be kidding me" stories!! I can not remember a single time when I'm with other folks who either drive the boat on the trailer or if I'm the one who drives it on the trailer after the strap and safety chain is attached does not stay in the boat tilting up the engines, turning off electronics, etc. until the boat is pulled away from the ramp to let other boaters access to the ramp. Stupid ticket is the proper description. |

It would be a long day at the ramp if I got ticketed for that as I would spend the rest of the day with the officer pointing out the next recipients.

Don't use that Trex Material. It will wrap and bend on you. Use Cypress.
Also you can make forward and transom V bunks that will settle the Hull in center every time.

Concerning being in a boat on a trailer, we were in a state park in Texas and it was interesting watching people in boats being pulled around the campground. Not talking one or two, but several different boats with multiple people in each one. Weird |

Thanks Chuck, I doubt ill be able to find cypress in Western NY but maybe some of the old pressure treated 2x6's that have been in my garage for the last 5 years and that are nice and dry and straight will fill the bill.

I bought my bimini from a guy who restored an ole Mako from the 70`s. Original float on trailer. The original owner had coated all of the hardware w a brew of roofing tar and kerosene. No corrosion. Secret spilled. I was also told the carpet on the bunks was actually old fire hose attached with monel staples. Lasts forever. They give the hose away. Cheers, Secret Sandy |
