I can relate. 14 years ago we bought a 36' Gibson fiberglass houseboat to use as basecamp to our "fun" boat. When we bought it it had nothing but lifejackets in it. It would actually get up and plane out like a skiboat and could actually get somewhere without running the 350SBC up against the redline. Then we added 3 TV's, Galley items, etc etc including 200gallons of gas and water. Still could plane but took 4000rpms. Then the algie grew on its bottom and now it's full displacement all the time with it being happiest just tied to a dock or swinging on the hook somewhere. Weight kills!

When you go to put everything back in this summer, make sure you add thru transom exhaust.

I must pack light, all I have in the boat is:
20' rope
4 life vests
fire bottle (5 lb)
paddle
flare kit
2 extra props (different pitches for conditions)
small bundle of tools
2 sets of "mouse ears" (for hose running)
1 bright PINK floating prop wrench (thanks PHX ATC)
Do I need to buy more "STUFF" for my sled to hang with the big dog's?? :confused: :D

Titties and Beer,
Your right, there's more!! I forgot the ski rope :hammerhea
I don't have a lot of room to put things, so have to pack the boat light and the truck heavy :cool: . The 20' rope does triple duty though, it's for launching, tieing up, and, most importantly, for getting towed back to the truck so I can use the rest of the "stuff" when the boat dies. :2purples:
There would be less in the boat IF I sold it, unless they wanted to negotiate for the rest.

Dude, pasties(not tops) and micro bikinis for the girls, and an MP3 player instead of the CD cases. That should cut down on some weight. :D
