New - Old Trailer Comparison

Trailer Work Cont.

Finally I started adding other parts to the painted trailer.




Only thing left to be done is to wrap boards into carpet. They are selling for $69 a piece. I got 2x4's from Home Depot and will be using some old piece of carpet I have. Total cost $4.



New submersible lights installed.



New complete wheel hubs and new wheel ready to be installed. Spindle nut was not in the kit, so I had to order new one online as the old one was not good anymore.


Wheel hubs and wheel installed. (I realized that wheel is inside out. I fixed that since I took the picture)



I took old wheel hub and welded it on the frame. Will use it to attache spare tire. Similar spare tire holders are selling for $79 at West Marine.... Cost: just welding wire and some electricity.

Trailer Painting Done

Finally got couple of days without rain to finish painting. Here are couple of pics of painted trailer.

Trailer Work

Boat is finally off the trailer. We were able to pull it off with only two people. Boat is not really that heavy. Now is in the position to get a new centerboard gasket.
Here are the pics of the trailer stripped down and sanded, ready to get a new paint. New boards with new nuts were installed as well.

Rudder & Centerboard Fabrication

Finally finished fabricating rudder and centerboard. Still need to apply fiberglass cloth, but need to wait for better weather.
