[QUOTE="Ray Clark, post: 508892, member: 31103"] Finally got all the trailer mods done yesterday and put the boat back on the trailer. Here she is after rolling it out of the shop. [ATTACH type="full"]118508[/ATTACH] To recap, modifications to the trailer include: - 45" longer - Axle moved 22" aft (relative to the hull) - Additional keel roller just aft of the bow - New bunks, including full support for the transom; this required adding cross members and vertical bunk supports on the trailer frame - New transom strap anchor points on the aft end of the trailer - Reconfigured winch post - Reconfigured hitch safety chains - New wiring - New side marker lights (tail lights were upgraded last year) Now all that's needed is a day of re-rigging to reinstall decks, batteries, outboard, trolling motor, and all the bric-a-brac that goes with it. Wheel bearings will get repacked. That will happen in mid-March as I prepare for the 2024 season. [/QUOTE]
