So today I was outside trying to prioritize the things that need to be done to my boat and trailer. I noticed one of the trailer bunks seem to be sagging a little toward the stern of the boat. I decided to launch the boat in my back yard so that I could take a good look at the trailer. I found more than I expected to find. Rust, rotten pressure treated bunks, all but dissolved staples allowing the carpet to roll off with the boat, carriage bolts not countersunk into the wood. These bolts not only wore through the carpet but also the paint on the boat hull exposing, of all things, bondo that has been used to seal rivets but that is for another thread.
The boat is 15' long and the trailer, to my surprise, is also 15' long. I am going to add a sliding tongue extension which will also make the boat easier to launch. At least I've figured out my first priority. Now to start the tear down.
