Seriously, that's my 22 in the pic.







OK, actually it's a Regal 3360. I loaded it on a trailer then towed it about 1/4 mile from the ramp to my office; a trucker is picking it up later this morning to take it to our other office. Had a heck of a time getting it out of the water. Near the top of the ramp the concrete is pot-holed pretty badly and I was hitting it just as the trailer was coming out of the water and I took all the weight. Every time I'd start spinning. I was close enough to the dock that I couldn't turn much to get over to clean concrete, but by working over little by little and a few volunteers in the bed, I finally made it up to flat parking lot.

I figure it's about 15,000 lbs. This is a good example of just because you CAN pull something, it doesn't mean you SHOULD pull something! No way I'd try to go down the road with this thing! (aside from it being over-size and needing permits which I don't have)

You needed someone in the boat on the throttles..............
