Hi everybody! I'm a long time looker, first time poster. I picked up this late 80's boat and Classic Fifty Merc w/power trim and new tuneup last summer for $2500. May have paid too much but it was near exact what I was looking for in anticipation of next years retirement. I totally disassembled the trailer and spent a month or two sand blasting, applied two coats of Rustoleum primer and two coats of tractor/implement paint I got from Tractor Supply. Installed new bearings, led lights, winch strap, trailer coupling and rollers. With my Dad's help I made new bunk boards and side guide boards from cedar and covered with carpet I got from Bass Boat Carpet. The existing tires had new tread but sidewalls were dry rotting and the wheels were mismatched. I ordered new wheels and got new tires mounted where I have all my auto work done. Sand blasted and painted the best matching old wheel for a spare. Trailer done, but then cold weather set in. Finally got going again a couple weeks ago with some 1 1/2 aluminum angle for a deck frame and floor support. I plan to use 3/4 plywood with several coats of spar varnish and cover with same carpet. Comments and certainly suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks for looking!
