Good job, boat looks nice.


You are correct sir.. very correct. Am debating on paying for sand blasting that beast, or doing it by hand.
 
Very nice job. On the trailer if that's a box frame try and see how much rust is inside before you go to the expense or hard work of fixing the outside. My Tracker trailer had quite a bit not to mention dirt and mud inside it. I wound up cutting the ends off the rear of each frame, standing the trailer up and beating it with a 5 pound mini-sledge. Just hard enough to knock the loose rust out with out denting the trailer. Then I flushed it out with a garden hose to remove anymore dirt and mud and pounded on it some more. I bet there was about 75 lbs. of mud, dirt, and loose rust that came out. I did all this after stripping the springs, axle, and other things off the trailer. Since there wasn't any holes or big chunks of metal missing I then took it to a shop and had it sand blasted and then to a local plant here that does hot dip galvanizing and it's now galvanized inside and out. Trailer will probably outlast me. :lol:
