[QUOTE="DocCaliz, post: 149176, member: 3568"] SO over the last 2 weeks I have slowly worked over the trailer. I don't have any indoor space so all my work has been outdoors. It has been slow going due to my school schedule, family obligations, the unseasonably warm weather here which limited the me work to the cooler hours in the evening. If anybody has any tips for balancing my family life with my new found habit I'm all ears. I Have stripped, primed, and painted then put it all back together with new hardware. Originally. The trailer had roller bunks, once I started painting one of them I realized I wanted to use wooden bunks to better support the boat. Here are some pics of the progress so far.

I also need to find new shock, after 5 trailer shops I'm going to autozone and hope I find a guy willing to help me find a set for a small car that will fit. I intend to use 1.5 in PVC for the guides with a T in the shape of an L. Anybody have an opinion about the durability of that set up? Next I'll get the boat back on and get to work on the remainder of phase 1. [/QUOTE]
