[QUOTE="pwshepard, post: 233611, member: 6720"] Here's an update on the boat. I've added few more items/modifications since my last update. 1. After launching the boat a couple times, I realized it rode way to high on the trailer. To fix this, I flipped the trailer bunks 90 degrees and moved the trailer axle to the inside of the springs. This lowered the boat almost 6 inches. I also added side guide-ons. It's much easier to launch/load now. 2. I outfitted the trailer with galvanized wheels all the way around. Found these wheels/tires at a Wal-Mart in Florida for about $50/each. 3. I bought a covered to protect the boat during off season. I also fabricated cover supports to keep water from pooling on the cover. 4. Today, I installed a Humminbird 798ci HD SI Combo. OK, so yeah, I went a little overboard on the fish finder. But hey, I'm a techno-guy and I might get boat bigger than 12 feet one day. Let me know what y'all think. [/QUOTE]
