New member from the flatlands

Post by b3ji&s »

Greetings from southwestern Kansas. Watched and read this forum for quite awhile, great info by the way. Finally joined after making my first Cobalt purchase. Looked far and wide and found the perfect R3 Surf at home marina. Great people, especially Joshua, at The Harbor at Campbell Point.
Still trying to figure out this technology to get pics posted. A little too mature for this drag and drop generation.

Welcome from Greers Ferry Lake in Arkansas.
Beautiful boat. You'll get lots of attention on the water.
Side bet: I'll bet I'm more mature (age wise anyway) than you. Laugh out loud. (see)

Sweet boat! Welcome from KC and LOTO!

Honestly, I've never seen a trailer setup like that for the surfs. Is that typical of all forward outdrives? Love how you've got bottom rails to protect the drive & prop in the event of a low spot or steep incline.

It’s ex-loader spec’ for r3surf. The Harbor ordered and it came in the deal. Will get about 5 miles a year. From garage to water, then on lift for the summer and out in the fall. But would not be scared to haul cross country.

Just Becarefull if you drive it on the trailer. If the drive is turned the props can hit the frame and you just made a really big mess. I would float on the trailer or make sure it's in neutral going into the trailer. Don't bump it in gear.
