Boat Building Forum
Find advice on all aspects of building your own kayak, canoe or any lightweight boats
: Well me too, normally I use the kayak trailer for the big things,
: but it's on blocks in the back yard for the winter. Was a choice
: of using the trailer or putting the SUV in the garage, the car
: won :)
Yep. The house has an attached one car garage, which is nice. Unfortunately, my Outback needs the rear main oil seal replaced (I did at the same time as a clutch job, popped the seal in too far, and a leak has resulted). Doing that means pulling the engine, so I ought to redo the timing belt while it's out. That might take me a while to do, so the OBW may be occupying the garage for a while. I'd rather build kayaks in it (staying on topic here), but it's a lot easier to build kayaks in the basement than performing engine repairs there ;o).
: I really miss having a truck, until I think of filling it with gas
: every week. The Santa Fe takes 16 gallons the truck took 36 for
: about the same distance. I can put up with the minor convience.

I feel your pain there. Grew up with a Ford F250 Custom with a 400 under the hood and a 4:11 transmission. Got 12 MPG on a good day, but only a little less when it was hauling. Definitely not something I'd want to use for a daily driver. Newer trucks are getting much better gas mileage, but the loan payments on a new truck would put me in the poor house. Seein' as I rarely have to haul anything...
