[QUOTE="richg99, post: 441974, member: 4376"] IMHO, the trailer is fine. I like one that is a bit longer so I don't have to dip my tires in the water to launch a short boat. Alumacraft/Alumicraft ....with spell checkers you never know what is going to come out. I knew what the OP meant. Where are you in SE TX? I spend 6 months of every year in North Houston. Heading that way in 3 weeks. Since you "stole" the boat, before you put any serious money into it, be very sure that you have re-titled it; boat; trailer and motor. Texas is getting very fussy about ownership these days. I added a storage area on the side of my 1652 G3. I used 1/4 inch exterior plywood and covered it with vinyl, which I prefer over carpet. Defender Industries supplied it. It is about the thickness of heavy vinyl wallpaper. Seems to be holding up well, so far. Be careful about adding too much weight with decks etc. on a small boat. I added a stern deck once and the boat wouldn't plane with it on there. regards, richg99 https://www.defender.com/product3.jsp?path=-1|2276179|2276198|2276202&id=23740 [/QUOTE]
