Post by: kckrawler on October 29, 2011, 05:33:10 AM: My guess is that he hauls the boat in and out of the water with it... :dunno:

This man is relaxing on a nice sunny day, trolling his favorite water with a wheel barrow in his aluminum boat.

I wish I was doing the exact same thing.

He uses it to move the boat. I had a simular setup, atatched to the boat, just roll it over and it will balance with minimum lift and roll very easy.

Post by: ghosthunter on October 29, 2011, 11:10:17 PM: He is a big guy. And the boat bow tips up to high when he is by himself. He hauls all his gear from the parking area to thee boat puts it in and uses the wheel barrow to bring the nose down. makes sense to me.

Post by: goosegetter79 on October 30, 2011, 09:04:03 AM: HAHAHA This reminds me of 2 yrs ago. My step dad, mom and I went to the family cabin on Sullivan lake in mid november to fix the chimney. FS wouldn't issue another lease to us til it got fixed by the end of the year. 2 other family members dropped the ball over the summer and never fixed it so nothing like last minute. Anyways, we took up my gramps old 14 ft v-hull aluminum boat. We had 35bricks, 3 bags of mortar, pancake air compressor, 32' extension ladder, electrical cords, buckets, alot of hand tools etc. all in this boat probably 400 lbs. of stuff in this boat with out someone in it yet. It was a pretty cold and windy day to be doing this but it had to get done. My step dad took off from the launch headed for the cabin and the sides of the boat were just a couple inches above the water. Some water was coming in from the choppy water as he went to the cabin. I think he was pretty happy to make it across in one piece. The cabin is a boat in or walk in only. My mom took a couple pics i'll see if she can email me a couple and i'll post em.

he told the wife he was going to help a friend and needed the boat and trailer to haul the wheelbarrow. Assuming he does not drive a pick up he had to keep it in the boat :chuckle:

Post by: singleshot12 on October 30, 2011, 04:42:12 PM: Looks like a fairly heavy boat to be lifting and dragging for one person. With a wheel attached to the bow deck a person could easily pull it or push a ways.

Post by: ICEMAN on November 01, 2011, 06:35:42 PM: The boat leaks and the wheelbarrow is his back up dinghy?
Title: Re: Could someone please explain this???
Post by: sisu on November 01, 2011, 06:44:22 PM: I looked into my Uncle Howard's diary. He needed a wheel borrow to transport his catch. No one ever caught as many or as big fish as Uncle Howard. As he said, "If I caught vun I caught a million."
