[QUOTE="Hydrilla, post: 113292, member: 863"] Cool rig, that must've flown with a 25 on it! I planned for an easy Sunday afternoon of working on the boat, nothing too hard. Of course nothing ever works out as you expect. The two main things I wanted to get done is placing/installing the bow roller/winch stand post, and installing the lights and trailer wiring. Within 5 minutes I realized I had a problem. When I determined where the winch stand needed to go, I found that it would have to go right over a weld where the previous owner had extended the tongue. It was a real beefy weld, and there was no way the winch stand was going over it. So, I had to grind it down on the top and sides, which took quite a long time. After I got that fitted, I realized the bolts wouldn't go through underneath, because of this silly contraption the previous owner added, I'm assuming to prevent the wiring from getting crimped since he had no tongue jack. I'm attaching a old pic of this so you know what I'm talking about. After all that, I re-primed and painted the areas I had to grind. I did finally get to the wiring, and that's about all I had energy for today. I won't have much to update until the weekend. I should accomplish a ton this coming weekend, including building my deck frame, and cutting/coating/carpeting my deck and floor. [/QUOTE]
