In sort of an order

Kevin and the interwebs: 1) Placement of the bunks on the lifting strakes- The V of the strake was dead center on the bunk. The bunks are lined with UHMW. The high PSI of the entire weight being placed on the on the pointy end of the strake made it very difficult to get on the trailer. I believe the...

I wish! There is a lifting strake right in the way. I had them out against the i beams. It was a unknown as I didn't haul boat to measure beforehand, I was hoping for the better luck Kodiak stainless calipers, E coated slip on rotors, Brake rite electric over hydraulic actuator. 7k Dexter torsion ax...

Finally some pictures. After a DOH! moment and moving the bunk supports inboard to clear a lifting strake, I am contemplating how to modify them to sit on top of the I beams to lower the boat about 2-3" and get better support.

Whoops, can't get pictures to work...

Rethinking the bunks, but the boat sits well on it

It is expensive in the aerosol version though..

This is what I use at work. It works better than the Goo Gone stuff. Doesn't seem to have as many nasty side affects as solvents.

Don't see it on eBay, post the link

NICE!

Dennis, yep I meant Lt. He I sold him a truck a few years a back, he lives in Sebago. Almost tried to get on PFD before moving out to Seattle. Good luck with the cushion! That boat will outlast all of us.

Hey do you know Capt. Alan Greene? He is a friend of mine--- Now down to business, I would guess that there is no "brand" associated with it, Pacific probably has them made custom for each boat. Have you tried calling them? Maine has some wonderful marine canvas shops, I would think that y...

Chad started at Armstrong- hence the similarities. He does GREAT work!

I think this photo answers your question Kevin. Long enough to mow the grass.

That is badass

Brett, did you work for Fastwater Marine in Richmond BC? Or are you talking about the Aerohead? We never ended up buying the Tug. We went under contract, had it surveyed, deposit, arranged for delivery and then tried to close through a marine documentation service to reduce the complexity of importi...

Paging Chaps, Paging Bob... I am OK with my EPaint, but i keep the boat in fresh water. I think their are better options

Prep is the key, and a proper system isneeded (epoxy, protectant and bottom paint)

Bob will get you straight.

Well here it is at 80%

Bob, I can't seem to get ahold of you... please PM me.

That would be awesome!

PM sent- I can't seem to find you number...

Don't worry, I keep coming with a "just a few more things" I need to get. I am still saving upwards of 40%, just not the 50% that I envisioned. On the other hand if I had the trailer built some of things I am doing wouldn't be an option. (Individual wire to each light, extra cross members,...

This is what I found

I need about 1lb for all of the parts of my trailer----I am trying to find something less expensive...

I have about 100+ bolts, screws and brackets..

I want to use anti seize on all of my stainless hardware on my aluminum I beam trailer. Typically anti seize is high in copper..

Any suggestions? TefGel is expensive for this application.

Those switches are failure prone (any float switch really)

Replace it with a like design/shape Rule and keep testing it regularly or replaced it with a

Lewmar, Imtra, and Vetus all list aluminum bow thruster tubes on their websites, Imtra I believe lists them as 5000 series.
