[QUOTE="pletzy, post: 346722, member: 13263"] Woke up early this morning to get in a few hours of work. My dad showed up with coffee and helped too. Last week, my wife's cousin welded me up a bracket for the front. It's bolted on where the trailer clip goes at the front of the boat. Cost me $20 and a six pack of tall boy brown trouts.[ATTACH type="full" alt="bracket2.jpg"]61819._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="bracket1.jpg"]61820._xfImport[/ATTACH]It is very solid and doesn't bend unless hammered.
