Six - Trailer Makeover

Well, the trailer was in worse shape than the boat. All the crossmember top flange were rotted from the salt staying up under the keel board, so I had new angle welded on top to give me a new base for the keel board. I lightly sand blasted the remaining galvanized finish to get a good bite for the 2-coats of Alumathane paint (aluminum powder suspended in urethane).New springs, mounts, axle, hubs, bunks, lights, wiring, wheels, tires, and fenders were installed this week. Here she is on the new trailer still waiting for her last coat of deck paint, I have been waiting 4-weeks for one quart of paint to come in from NC!
