To take boat to the lake hook it to your 1986 Oldsmobile station wagon.
Do not exceed 80 miles per hour getting there.
Arrive at the lake, Wait one hour to get the boat launched.
Have a good time on the lake (no alcohol).
Wait one hour to get a spot on the ramp to get your boat out.
Pull boat out with 1986 Oldsmobile Station wagon.
Oldsmobile station wagons are available at your local "We'll Finance" car
lots for about $500.00 US.
Worked for 13 years for me.
