We'll chat about that soon enough. My neighbor was here when the package showed. He's aware of all this RDP shenanigans going on, and it kinda blew his mind when I opened the box. We chatted the other night about a 8-10'tall one out on the island. When he saw it, his eyes got real big, and he said.... holy fuk you're serious.


Ya doooode.. ii ain't makin this shit up, lolol...


He's a fan. I'll get him a rdp hat. ;)
All in due time. Weve talked about the tikibar, and my plans. He's on board. :cool:

Wow, ice in the garage. Is that the flooding that the Midwest is having from snow melt and rain? How often is that going to happen?

It's a drainage issue, it's a non heated building without a proper foundation issue, it's a lack of maintenance issue.

There's a ton of flooding going on around me. The garage being unheated and on a floating slab is subject to frost getting under it and it is what broke the concrete. The freeze thaw cycles over time have pushed the walls outward. If left alone itll eventually collapse just by the movement of the ground from summer to winter. If it was reinforced properly, and kept heated and insulated it would be a whole different story. Heat loss from the slab would keep the ground from freezing under and a a small perimeter around it. Itd be just fine.
If it had at least 4' frost walls for a foundation, its probably be fine unheated.
Well, its a clapped out old cottage that was only until recently used in the summer. I was told the old owners kept their 14' tippy tinny shitbox in there over winters. Not a real reason to insulate and heat it. Lol...

Went and grabbed my jet bote. View attachment 736832
We decided to name this clapped out shitbox "river kill" after Finnegan and freibergers show. Should be the perfect platform for a bar hopper.:p
And when Snowhammer forgets his dingy you've got the perfect fill in platform to get between the anchor ball on the lake and your dock.
:D

I'm not gonna "Double Dog" dare you cause you'd probably try.:eek:
If it didn't need a little glass and gel on the keel from the last trip out, all I need to do is fuel it up and drop in the battery.

I launched it off a submerged log....

Dukes of Hazzard style. :eek:

Lucky it didn't sink.



When I'm done with it, itll get cut up and put in a dumpster, the only thing left worth selling will be the trailer and maybe the powerhead.
It's going to get beat like it has red hair..:D

So should I go get yours and cut this one up?
Itll only take a few minutes to swap it out with your forklift. :p

I ran it once a 3-4 years ago in like May and never winterized it, havent tried running it since, I assume its junk but sitting 4-6 months before a hard freeze, I dont know

Well, when you're ready, and I have time, I can go poke it with a stick and see what's all fuckered. :oops:
