Time for some upgrades, I just recently moved and finally have a small shop behind the house, my trailer is for a 20/72, I decided to take 18" off the tounge to get overall length to 22.5 feet. Doing so i found my receiver was in need of rebuild. So i got the parts to take care of that. Adding a hds 10 this yr with structure scan, hds should be here mid week, got to buy the lss unit still, probbaly buy used. Got to figure out what mount i want to use now. First club tourney is 2/16.

I also recently sold my 15hp to another tin boat member, looking at another 18' boat with a 35, hope to acquire it and transform the 35 to my boat via removable center console i had imagined when building this boat.

i removed the 2 thru bolts, and replaced with 4 individual bolts to keep from squeezing the tounge.

Made a little upgrade this week, was gonna wait on the lss1 but found a great deal at bbc yesterday. Adding that next week.

Cool. Thanks. I'm thinking of bending sheet instead of framing when I redo my decks & I wasn't sure what thickness I should use.
