    It seems we usually have 1 or 2 of us trying to negotiate the drop off, plus someone trying to get out of the boat most of the time.

      What do you want for it Jeff. Which rigger is it?

      The reason I added spec rigger to WCRA is because there are so many of them in our club!, hugh, ray, jeff, mike, etc. But not enough signed up. I also think the spec rigger is an impressive running boat and would be a crowd pleasure.

      My only Q is my big Cat...run in offshore. I wouldn't mind running it in circles though.

        I've got a battery powered skill saw. We can cut them on site. And I think 3' wide is plenty good enough for now. We could even add another set of steps later, like when its cooler, in a different location for two access points

            I was just coming back to make the same proposal as a compromise. Put in a 2 block wide set where the steps currently are since the slope of the bank works in our favoir there. And possibly add the wider set set later on after it cools off. As for cutting the boards, I was planning to let Home Depot cut them when I buy them (33" lenghts and one board should make 3). I really can't haul a 10 foot board in my little mini van. I'm not even going to try to haul sand in it either.

                  Jim, I used to have a spec rigger till a small altercation with Hugh rendered it a pile of bits. But that's racin.

                    I've got a h&m rigger here that's Grants that he's lost interest in. We stripped it, carboned it and began painting it when it got put on the shelf and remained. It is almost complete, if I remember all but radi and esc, but I'm sure he's sell things seperatley. It had a hacker 8xl in it. Its got hrdwr etc. I can bring it if anyone might be interested in any of it

                    Oh and I'm doing this from my phone.. but there's pics of it in my albums. I think hrwr pics r n there too

                      Thanks. Unfortunately it's a bit out of my $$$ range at the moment.

                            I stopped ny Ackerman on my way home from crashing planes today and used up one of the bags of ant killer. Treated the area around the steps even though I didn't see any activity there today. Also hit all the beds I could find. Good thing we're not trying to run on Saturdays. The place was covered up with kayaks today although none were in the area of our course.
                            Once I get unloaded will head out to get the pt before starting to charge batts. Scott bring your saw just in case. Brian, I'll bring my P boat too.

                                Just got back from Home Depot. Couldn't find any 2x10x10 pt so got a couple of 2x10x8 and had them cut them in half. While there picked up 4 more patio blocks so we can now go 3 wide with 4 steps if wanted. That will make them 4 ft wide and should eliminate the need for cutting the PT board. Added up the receipts and it comes to $60.34. I'll bring the receipts tomorrow too.
