[QUOTE="daschmetterling, post: 402773, member: 20202"] Trailer work... Finally got some time to get back to the boat project. The transom is back in place and it should last another 40 years or so! We took the boat off the trailer to prep the hull for paint, and noticed how crooked the trailer was. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20151208_103931.jpg"]0[/ATTACH] It looked like the trailer was out of square, but after some measurements, it turned out the springs didn't match! [img]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20151221/135e93236c54e8e5fe9158e88dff1208.jpg[/img][img]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20151221/f2420271fed4b06a3e4604a106c19f83.jpg[/img] We replaced the springs with matching ones, removed the old bunks and rollers and replaced them with new bunks. [img]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20151221/ac10da5073ae10220d7bc6c392ff45d2.jpg[/img] Then, I added fenders and steps [img]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20151221/ba84303f090dd168993006cc9238e707.jpg[/img] [img]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20151221/9af530f13de2cb8d9ad3ead8d5ce4783.jpg[/img] Next after priming and painting, I'll cover the steps with aluminum diamond plate. The steps will also house the brake lights to protect them from when we hit stuff! Soon, we will start working on the boat! Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
