[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 477704, member: 21536"] The boat is pretty light. If it were me, I would fix any issues with rust, etc. Reassemble and make sure 10% to 15% of weight is on the tongue. If the existing wheels/tires are good, use them. Make sure your bunks fully support the transom. I would want to make sure everything is safe. Then I would go fishing! Regarding the keel rollers, my opinion is that they are great for keeping the boat from bumping the cross braces when you load it but, other than the one under the bow, should not be touching when the boat is loaded. Like JL8JEff says, if you start making major changes, and especially if you have concerns, you might be better off replacing the whole thing. [/QUOTE]
