We pulled 'Recess' today, and I received payment in full. So, she now has a new owner! After he spends a little time on the hard sprucing her up, changes out the keel cable, and a few other chores, we'll move her to the other local lake, where she was when I bought her. Need to change my signature since I'm now the PO.
BTW, he rented a 17' Uhaul truck that has a 10,000 lb towing capacity. Nice truck, fairly new, only about 8k on the odometer.
The hitch had a 2" ball, but next to it was a square receiver, so you could insert a ball mount with a different size ball. I used it to secure the strap for our trailer extension. worked great!

That's good news about the UHaul truck. I'd like to get rid of my minivan and rent a towing vehicle for pulling my Trophy boat once a year. We're only talking about 1000 lb. or so. I called 2 or 3 local UHaul places, and they all refuse to rent vehicles for pulling trailers. I strikes me as odd, since UHaul rents trailers also. But that's what they told me. If anyone finds a Philly area location that rents trucks for pulling boats, please let me know.

Rick,
I used the UHaul in Lansdale, PA to rent a pick-up and trailer a few years ago when I purchased a used lawn tractor. You might give them a call.

U Haul's restrictions may be influenced/dictated by state law, i.e., the ability to be sued by the consumer.

We're in Pittsburgh and they certainly are more retrictive than they used to be.

Thanks, Dave.

The truck may be a new offering. The truck itself certainly was new.
