[QUOTE="steelworks, post: 277011, member: 9535"] Greetings Guys ! I am going to try to post several pics of the work accomplished the last two days in about 14 hours. I took the boat off the trailer and turned it over on the pallets in the pics. Then I took the trailer and put it up on a pallet also. Then I pulled the wheels, cleaned off the old carpet with a razor knife and removed the side boards as well as the lighting. I also redid all of the wiring while the boat was off. Much easier for sure. I did all of this by myself. Thank God this was aluminum or I would have gone to the hospital lol.....I paid $300.00 for the boat motor trailer cash plus I gave up a 10/22 Ruger rifle so I have about $500.00 in it total.
