Baltimore Bounty ...

[KOWBOY]

Gonna have to buy me a used trailer to get all my shit home.

Here's the latest.

Needs a lil' work ... but it's free.

[KOWBOY]

Lil' ornament for the yard.

It's 'bout 5' across and 8' long.

[kcsmithson]

Any chain with that? I would kill for some old wrought iron.

[KOWBOY]

Sorry ... no chain.

We dug the damn thang outta the channel here in Baltimore 'bout 5 years ago and I ain't never had a chance to get 'er home.

Any guess as to when or what sized vessel it would be used on??


..... and was it pulled up w/ a bucket or one of those fancy underwater vacuums you guys have??? I'm sure the former as the later may have been ugly.

Thanks

[KOWBOY]

Don't really know how old it is ... just sorta neat lookin'.

Dug it up with a 26 cy clamshell bucket.

[KOWBOY]

Here's a Detroit 271 with a 20kw generator on the ass of it.

Set up with radiator for cooling. Needs fuel tank ... but got ahold of a brand new one to install.

Need to get dredge electrician to wire up a couple of spider boxes to plug in the RV's and mechanic to go thru the internals before I leave.

Total cost ... free.

[KOWBOY]

This here old weldin' machine blew up so we're yankin' the welder off and usin' the trailer to mount the generator. 3500 lb axle. Probably try to mount the fuel tank on front.

Total cost ... free.

[KOWBOY]

Gotta figure outta a way to mount this boat on the Rubi Kamper. Hard bottom inflatable made by Avon. Mount 'er somehow upside down on top of the rooftop tent on some swingaway brackets of some sort. I'll figure it out when I get all the pieces in one place ... I am an engineer after all.

The trailer comes with it and I'm tryin' to track down an 8 hp motor now.

Total cost ... free.

(It's sittin' underneath an old framework off a sport-fishin' boat.)

[KOWBOY]

Now I'm just workin' on gettin' my hands on some sort of cheap-ass trailer I can pull behind my Trusty Ol' Company Truck to get all this shit back to The 3X's.

[macneill]

Wow, that's a good score.

I think the floor of the inflatable might be removable in sections, then you could deflate it. At least our old Zodiac was.

Just a thought.

Thank you sir.

I'll look into that this afternoon ... sure would make thangs simple.

[Green Lantern]

Wow, you certainly scored an Easter basket full of toys.
Duct tape it all to a Uhaul and drag it home.
Happy Trails! N

[Bodean]

Looks like you will have some permanent power for the reunion! We could all take turns getting in that boat too. Maybe we could get Clutchee to spray us with water while we pretend we are on some kind of amphibious assault.

later,

later,

Obviously you were NOT at the last family reunion!

No extra water required..........ANYWHERE!

This here looks more like Kowboy's foolproof insurance plan. Since the reunion done been thru hell and high water, if he buys enough crap to cover EVERYTHING, then the weather will just have to be.........PERFECT!

Most excellent presidential-type cipherin if you ask me!

[matzell]

Kowboy,

Good luck on finding a trailer!

[KOWBOY]

Pick 'er up this weekend.

tilting equipment trailer

Sure gonna look nice painted Hemi Green behind Lil' Pete.

[KOWBOY]

Well ... done got it to our yard facility in Baltimore.

3 hour drive to get there.

2 hours tryin' to screw the jack up off the ground and get a few lights workin' a lil' bit maybe ev'ry once-in-awhile.

Wirin' on the trailer was interestin' and the runnin' light connection on the truck didn't work. Me and my CoonAss friend had a large time and I'm sure the NJ gentleman we bought it from won't soon forget the ordeal.

3 1/2 hours to drive back. Hard to believe the rotten tires made the trip.

We'll start tearin' into it tomorrow and see what we got.

[KOWBOY]

Yanked it up with the cherry picker ... computer said 3500 lb.

Bearings feel great ... oil level in axle good and clean ... split rim wheels.

Tilt bed ... but unsprung axle.

Lugs are pretty rusty so we got 'em soakin' now.

Need 4 tires.

Cargo weight:

Kubota is 1800 lb. (actual)

Anchor is 1400 lb. (actual)

Generator is 2000 lb. (estimated)

[Bodean]

Holla if you come through town on the way home. I'd like to see this get-up. We'll drink a beer.

Later,
