[QUOTE="Axhammer, post: 500950, member: 16767"] I lifted the 1751 off the trailer and set it on three furniture dolly’s in the shop, this way I can move it side to side for better access while I work on it. I have three cracks I need to weld. The cracks were easy to see after turning the hull upside down. The tunnel sheet metal is all one piece, and welded around the perimeter & riveted as seen in the pictures. There is some light to moderate corrosion on and around some of the rivet heads. I tap tested all the rivets and I didn’t find any loose ones. The galvanized trailer has a funky cross beam welded in place, where the main tongue beam attaches. The beam was welded in crooked, making the beam appear to have a twist. I think I can make this trailer work. The transom was gasoline soaked, it smelled for a couple hours as it drained and evaporated. [/QUOTE]
