[QUOTE="Rat, post: 142831, member: 1914"] The clad looks great, so how did you get the rivets so perfect? Just lots of time on each rivet or something special like a heat gun? On the bow eye; You want the bow eye to be below the bow stop with the winch rope under the bow stop, like you have it. This is for safety in the vent you are rear-ended, or rear-end someone else, it helps to keep the boat from becoming airborne. You can also attach an additional safety chain from the bow cleat to the trailer tongue which will help even more. If it is above, like mine is currently, you will have a problem loading and unloading. What happens is the bow eye catches on the bow stop when the stern floats and hangs on to the boat; very frustrating to load and unload. Mine will be changing soon. :evil: [/QUOTE]
