the trailer switch..

zooker · 11-13-06, 03:24 PM

last ya heard i busted the red trailer in half and was rebuilding a differant trailer.

the white trailer's winch was thrashed so i swapped the red trailer winch with it.

the 2x4's were toast so i tore them off and put new pressure treated ones in there place.

she aint none to pretty. but i am about to get ugly with an wire brush on the real rusty parts. note the primer-blackish paint-in places.

first coat of paint

final coat of paint.

carpeted the bunks

got it all wired up. she is ready to go -i was soaking the bunks with water to make loading the boat easier..

under the boat.

had to move the winch down and ahead..

oh yeah i know about the flat tire i am out of gas for my torch so i will have to take it across the road to a friends and use his torch. we can get it off there..

this battle is over finally now it is time to butt heads with the boat again..

i did to the front of the trailer the back of the trailer would not get decent ground.

Anyway you can put some bigger tires on it, perhaps a lift kit? Just a idea, but bigger tires would make me a lot happier ifn it was mine.

Having fun there buddy. Them old boats can be a pain in the arse from time to time huh buddy.

WTL · 11-25-06, 07:43 PM

Those tires would make me nervous too.

zooker · 11-25-06, 08:41 PM

lol brother love have one go at about 90mph sometime.. getting stopped is a whole lot of fun..

WTL · 11-25-06, 09:24 PM

Man going 90 with those shopping cart wheels could make the bearings hot enough to melt.

zooker · 11-25-06, 10:09 PM
