OK thanks for calling Planned about 4 times to go and get it, needs some TLC anyway. Was really set to go last Saturday then the football playoffs got in the way   Now we are in for about 3-4 wet Winter storms in a row. And probably 4-6 inches a rain in the next week.  I leave the plug out of it so it should drain but I can just about see what a mess it will be if and when I get up there.   For those of you who don't know I keep my boat at a small lake thats lets say is a 8 hour round trip away Posted by: Fragile Magic on Jan. 19 2010,8:37 pm ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- Well a couple months ago I gota call from the lake saying my boat cover got killed by a major wind storm we had.

On the up swing, the first few minutes of rain will knock the dust down and the rest of the time raining will wash the boat out.   Posted by: AZKC on Jan. 20 2010,11:26 am ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- Well a couple months ago I gota call from the lake saying my boat cover got killed by a major wind storm we had.

Got a call one day that the cover had ripped and blown half off (It was the shipping cover). They, on thier own, re-secured the cover, and put one of those cheapo blue tarps on it, and were asking if we would be up anytime soon to fix it better, or did I want them to do it.... Yup, case o' beer to Mike up there for that one!   Posted by: GoFastRacer on Jan. 21 2010,5:03 am Two projects are outside all covered up, but the main one is all nice and warm in the shop!..   Posted by: DirtySquirty on Jan. 21 2010,6:41 am Posted by: Carrera Elite on Jan. 22 2010,10:59 am ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- Well a couple months ago I gota call from the lake saying my boat cover got killed by a major wind storm we had.
