[QUOTE="Dockside85, post: 251414, member: 8020"] This trailer rebuild is going slower than I'd like but I don't want to rush through it! Almost done with it though. Got both bunk boards water sealed, carpeted, and bolted to the bolster brackets on the trailer. I may need to add a new carpeted bunk up front, but I'll see how the boat sits on it first. FYI guys, don't use your wife's fabric scissors to cut rubber-backed outdoor carpet. Find (or buy) another pair. Trust me.

Started with a 2" strip of aluminum, 4 pieces and riveted them onto an aluminum strip bent at a 90 degree angle. Made two L shapes that I will bolt onto the trailer today and secure the lights to them. Couple more holes to drill and they'll be on.

The only thing I have left to figure out is some guide on bunks, but I don't quite know how to go about those yet so I'll shift over and start sanding the boat down. [/QUOTE]
