First off let me say I have been a long time troll of this site silently learning and not posting so I decided that I would post my current project and see what ya'll think. I was logging it on another site but not getting any feedback so I decided to start logging it here instead.The boat is a 1980 PolarKraft bass boat that my brother gave me that was literally falling to pieces growing up in the weeds. I plan to push it with a 50 Evinrude we pulled off another boat that works fine. First off I started with the trailer as it wasn't even towable. I replaced the tires and wheels and wire wheeled it down to the bare metal.
Then I sprayed the trailer with napa primer and sprayed it with black napa tractor implement paint with a little hardner added.
I decided to go with Home Depot Indoor Outdoor carpet for my boat and carpeted the runners and side steps with the same color as the boat will be done.
I rewired the trailer with a new light kit I had laying around and replaced the jack and the winch both I got at Harbor Freight. The jack is actually pretty impressive for the price and I have gotten more compliments on my jack than I have the trailer paint job. BTW the jack was only like 25.00, thinking about buying another for a future project. Anyway all in all I think the trailer turned out really nice.
