I know the season is not over for some of you, but for me it is ..........So, I saw this heavy cargo lift system at menards, so I purchased one ($125) and installed it yesterday. The maximum amount of weight it will handle is 250 pounds, but I have only put my voyager on it, so I only have about 170 pounds on it right now.....
Took me close to 4 hours by myself to install it, if I would have had an extra set of hands, less than 2 hours. So far, I would say this is a great way to store my ice house both off season and during season....basically it lifts like a basketball hoop does, takes me 1 minute to raise it up and less than 20 seconds to lower it.....I can slide it right into my truck or back on the platform.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
