[omc-boats] Posting pictures--- Please don't!

Please don't try to post photos to the list-- they come thru
as a whole lot of rubbish to "digest" readers (if they're small
enough to make it onto the list), and if they're too large,
they get thrown into a mailbox of "likely to be spam" messages,
ever since spammers got hold of the list address I had to direct
list errors off to the side, or have to deal with lots and lots
of list submission attempts of GIF (image file) advertizements!

I've put an image I just rescued from the trash of jdood's trailer;

(which looks to be an OMC/Johnson/Evinrude "I-Beam" trailer)

The tilt lever is another sign it's likely an original equipment trailer...

Mind if I add your pic to the "gallery"? Is that green metallic paint?
