[QUOTE="richg99, post: 419399, member: 4376"] I am pretty happy with the mods that I did on my trailer over the last six months. As some of you know, I scrapped my 20 year old Lowe due to some concern about the hull no longer being seaworthy. In doing so, I thought I might be able to re-use the 20 year old trailer, but my new boat choice 1652 G3 wouldn't fit. I sold the trailer to a guy to use for his kayaks. The new trailer that came with the G3 was galvanized; had LED lights; and was as good an "out of the store" trailer as I could expect. I added a step on the tongue; Post guide-ons and a "guide" device to keep the boat centered; PVC gutter tops for the bunks; and spring loaded stern tie-downs. When I launch and re-cover these days, all of those little add-ons make the experience fairly pleasant. I recovered the boat today for maybe the 40th time since I did these mods. I immediately remembered how much easier it is now compared to last year's launch and recover operations. richg99 https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=40137&hilit=added https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=41179&hilit=added https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=40020&hilit=added https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=39943&hilit=added [/QUOTE]
