"The trailer would be recycled into a new Hyundai before you ever got your money back out of that upgrade." Love it. This gets my vote for quote of the week!

While I intrinsically like the idea of going to larger wheels, will the real gains be major enough to justify the expense. Larger may have more weight capacity, but that will also be limited to the existing axle and trailer suspension. More ground clearance? Tow at higher speeds maybe? More...

Whatever the difference in diameter, half of that number will take away space under the fender. The fender clearance needed will be that number plus what you need for suspension travel.

That is certainly an option. I'm just saying what I would do because you asked. Doesn't mean it is the only way to go, and who knows, I could be all wet (haha). BTW, if you do proceed, I think @lckstckn2smknbrls gives some excellent advice in the preceding two posts. If you decide to...

I remember that. It turned out really well.

Nice boat -- diamond in the rough! I hope you keep posting updates. Here is my two cents and some random thoughts. If I was worried about the floor flexing, 1/8 ACM would not be my first choice. In reality, we are talking about adding 350 pounds of framing to the boat in an attempt to...

Actually, I would like to keep my head and pick up a new body.

What's a fashion day? :)

I actually would have to go out and look to see which I have! Haha.

I think it is a pretty good analogy if they were extended too long.

Based on my personal skill set, I would likely go the same way. Looks like the previous fiberglass patch just popped right off. That was a good thing.

I think you hit the nail on the head. When I zoom in it looks like that part (circled in red) is bolted to the winch post. Move it up until the bow stop is above the bow eye. Then route the cable/strap under the bow eye.

Aw, there is always something it seems. There are many reports that the acetic acid in typical kitchen/bath silicon can etch aluminum and potentially lead to corrosion. The general consensus is to make sure the label on whatever you use says it plays nice with aluminum. BTW, being able to...

If that is the case, then another trailer is probably the better option.

Welcome to Tin Boats.net. You sure aren't messing around with the transom. I look forward to following your work.

Having the bunks overhang the trailer is common with properly fit trailers and not an issue as long as the overhang is not excessive.
