Well I brought home a 17ft Sea Nymph today. It's pretty deep, and wide for the age of the boat (78").
The trailer needs work but has lots of potential. It is a Bunk trailer with a cradle style so the boat sets down in it.
Here are a couple photos.
As you can see, no motor, and the interior is a basket case. That's fine I wanted to do a rebuild/mod anyhow.
Plans? Well, I'll give plans on the trailer because it will take less time. But Actually I'll be doing the trailer last.
Sand blast and paint.
Extended bunks.
Extend the trailer rearward. I think this will work better than moving the winch stand forward.
I'm going to add more modern fenders, and use carpeted boards on the inside as a guide for the boat.
New rollers
Eventually a swing away tongue.
Add steps around the fenders, and around the lights.
First for the boat will be to clean all the junk interior out of the boat. This will probably take awhile. :shock:
Then clean up the inside, and get it ready for Gluvit.
At some point I'll be making floor patterns, and replacing the floor after the gluvit goes in.
I'm going to remove the bow rails, and windshield. Remove the port console, and extend the front deck till it is flush with the starboard console.
I may do in-floor rod storage, but for the most part I'm up in the air about specifics.
