[QUOTE="Hooky1420, post: 166579, member: 3367"] BTW - got that trailer cheap, originally styled for a v-hull boat and was painted white and rusted a fair amount. My brother-in-law and I cut the mounts off, replaced the winch and tow jack, surface sanded it, painted it, added new light fixtures and paint as well as bunk boards. Added some reflective tape, and there she is. I plan on adding some verticle guides to the rear end, and some fenders to keep that carpet nice and fresh during transport. I will be posting photos of the trailer rebuild soon as well. Thanks for the compliments so far... I still have a lot of work to do, but it makes it easier when all you have to do is the cosmetic stuff. Next up, the wiring, lights, and looking for an outboard to push this jon through the Everglades. ...Hoping to get it into the water this weekend to see how she performs. Only have a trolling motor, but at least I will finally be on the water :P If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask. Since this was my first build, I had a lot of trial and error, but I will help you as much as I can. Feel the need to give back to the community that helped me out when I needed advice! [/QUOTE]
