I just saw an update that said we've had 43+ aftershocks but most were under 2.0 so you wouldn't feel it. I know the 4.0 I heard/felt was only 3-5 seconds and I bet I wouldn't have noticed in the house or a business or car so I'm sure the lower ones I had no idea happened.

Today was nice, I got the boat out for the first time this year and now we get more rain. I did float the dock at my cousin's house on the river but I didn't install the walkways yet just in case the river goes back up.

I live very close to Trenton/Mercer airport and we're used to the jets rumbling us all the time. I was sitting at the computer when it started to rumble and didn't think it was a plane or truck so I went outside and you could tell it wasn't anything normal. I poked my head back inside and you...

On my Loadrite trailer I think it's just a printed sticker which can no longer be read so yours might be the same.

I pulled a couple of ticks out of me last summer. I think I got the first one in less than 12 hours since it wasn't attached that well and the other was less than 24 hours. As far as I know, I didn't end up getting anything, no rash or any side affects. I've has skin moles and small blood...

I run a 94 Mercury 60/45 2 stroke jet and went with the small Yamaha separator a few years ago. I changed filters at the beginning of last season but saw no sign of any water from the filter contents I poured into a jar.

I don't think I've ever kept my feet dry when trailering the boat, even in Feb when the water temp was still in the 30's. I figure I'll probably hurt myself trying to stay dry so I just use my water shoes to unload/ load the boat, no big deal. I've never driven a boat onto a trailer in 33...

And as a preventive step, when your boat is sitting, turn the wheel so the rod is pulled all the way into the tube on the engine bracket. That way, no grease will sit exposed to the elements and dry out faster.

Here are some pictures of the creases on my boat, they are basically where all the crossmember/ribs are. I just noticed that the sides of the boat also have the marks where the crossmember/ribs are so it's probably related to the construction or welding.

I converted my trailer from rollers to bunks and the boat sits quite a bit lower (fits between the fenders) so it's easier to load/unload. But the back it usually in the water far enough that I've never needed a keel roller. I should probably get one, but my boat stays in the water all season...

I'm pretty sure my boat has a similar crease to it and mine is all welded, no rivets. It's raining too much right now to go take a look so I'll check it tomorrow.

Have you looked at the SeaArk 1872 boats? Nice and wide and with the jet tunnel they can run pretty shallow. I saw this one for sale in PA on FB Marketplace and it even has pods already...

My boat stays in the water from Apr through almost Nov and I've been running a single battery for years without issues (other than when my stator went bad and killed the battery). My biggest worry is the bilge pump, I don't have a trolling motor or fish finder and I rarely use the lights since...

I moved my battery up to my center console and the floor was already in place so I had no real option other than to run it up the side of the boat with the control cables, steering cable and wiring harness. It's not pretty but there weren't really any other options. My steering cable had to be...

You may want to try the transom wedges to tuck the foot in a little closer. I have them on my boat because it would porpoise badly without them but they help get the foot tucked in as well. The foot being 7" behind the transom sounds too far back,, mine is around 3-3.5" but I also have the jet...

The oil pump in my 1994 Mercury was bad so I changed to premix and I've been running around 80:1 to 100:1 synthetic 2 stroke with no real issues. But I never run wot so I don't think the leaner mix will cause a problem for me. I did the same thing with the 90's Johnson on my previous boat, ran...

Lots of Tacoma's in our area with rusted out frames and it seems like the problem has never been corrected. I've seen trucks that pretty much break in half, even with less 100K miles on them. It's not just Tacoma's, Chevy, GM, Ford, Dodge all have serious frame/body/brake line/fuel line rust...

Wow, that's surprising. I know most of them did not have a rear locker or posi rear so the 4wd isn't the best. I had a 2013 with 3" lift and 33" AT tires and that would go through the plow piles in 2wd, it was just as good as the 4Runner. But yeah, those 4 cyl engines were way underpowered...

I just remembered something from this storm from the past. The snow had drifted off the roof of the house and was connected to the snow on the roof of the 4Runner. It was drifted above the fenders and when I went out to start clearing snow, I realized I never locked the front hubs for the 4...

You may want to look for an 1872 boat with the number of people you're talking about. There are a couple of SeaArks here on the Delaware and they look real stable with several people.
