[QUOTE="Hydrilla, post: 113164, member: 863"] I got the bunks attached, the wheels back on, and the tongue jack attached before I had to call it quits last night. Tonight I hope to get the boat back rightside up and on the trailer, and finish with the trailer setup. I am mainly posting because I got a callback on a quote request for angle aluminum from Somers Sheet Metal Inc in Greensboro NC. As you guys know, angle aluminum at Lowes or Home Depot is not cheap. If I remember right, 1" x 1" x 1/8" x 6' long was somewhere around $18-19. That would add up reeeally quick. These guys quoted me on 1 1/4" x 1 1/4" x 1/8" x 20' for $40, and for whatever reason right now, 1 1/4" x 1 1/4" x 3/16" x 20' they can sell me for $35. That's a serious difference. If you live in central NC, give these guys a call. If you live elsewhere and are thinking about Lowes or Home Depot, I'd say it would be worth your time to spend a while on Google to see what's around your area. [/QUOTE]
