nam, just to answer your question from the last page, (i was out of town for a wedding) yes, the gsx was picked up over the weekend, with kudo's to toro for taking care of that for me, i plan on meeting him this week at his convenience to move it onto my trailer and take it to the shop. I'm in his debt now, and i've officially received payback for my Good Samaritan work picking up a different (and better looking) GSX for SDBuddy. kudo's also to you for posting this up, i never would have noticed it otherwise. IMO that model (purple/red) was the ugliest GSX ever designed, BUT i'm hoping that the engine and electronics will be quite serviceable, just trying to make chicken chit into chicken soup
i'll make a decision on the hull after I have it in my hands as to what i'll do with it. (its almost too dam ugly to fix up, but too early to determine what will be done with it)
this thread has definitely been a boon for me.. I own 4 ski's that have been listed on this thread, although two of them I looked at a week before they were posted here. a 5th ski I purchased for SDbuddy and is being fixed up locally here, so the activity here has definitely generated some nice purchases, some for personal use, some just for parts, but all winners at this point. Bottom line, directly or indirectly this thread has generated at least 5 nice pickups !
Keep up the good work ! Nice pickup you made as well, i'm sure its problems can be resolved and i'll help in any way I can. It looks like its time for you to build some quicky stands so you don't fill up the garage with trailers, you can get half that garage back if you can build some stands and find a place nearby to stash the trailers, all you need is a 20foot spot in somebody's back yard not too far away and you can stash the trailers outside, and the ski's indoors.
Last year, I really had issues with storage space (mainly with my wife saying.. WTF !) until I started being proactive and asked around to people I knew and they were nice enough to help me with my storage needs. Storage on a Retail basis is quite pricey, but if your proactive and do it with everyday people that don't mind helping, and appreciate a few bucks, it can be VERY reasonable and convenient.
i forgot to mention, the storage bins were breaking, so the lady epoxied the the whole bin in place so i gotta scrape it out, she said i could do that, but it'll prob break the bin...plus i'm going back to gville for a few days, so might not get to this til later in the week
