I have been working on it here and there when I have time. I have been so busy with the new place. The grass alone is killing me. I have to mow about 2 acres and I have to do it twice a week to keep up with it. Got most of the other small projects around here done so I'm just about ready to concentrate on the boat and trailer again. Just found out a couple weeks ago that we are gonna have a baby after 10+ years of trying also so I have to get my project complete before the baby comes cause I know the wife isnt gonna let me spend any money after that.
Trailer progress: I got the new winch and jack mounted up. I got new safety chains in place. The bunks are built, carpeted and mounted. Had to order my stainless staples online so that held up my bunks for a few days. I still need to buy new hubs, wheels, tires and build some guide ons. I was originally gonna go with bunk guide ons but the boat sits so good on the bunks I built that now I think I'm just gonna build the post style guide ons for loading on windy days. I also am considering moving the side marker lights. I mounted all the lights in the original mounting locations before building the bunks. The trailer was originally for a v-hull. I added a cross bunk to support the front of the boat and it hides my side markers. I am considering removing the bracket they are currently mounted to and cutting it in half and mounting each to the underside of the cross bunk. I'll go out to the garage shortly and snap a couple pics of my progress and of the lights so you all can see what I mean.
