The talents of people on here never cease to AMAZE me.............That trailer is a work of art...........

Thanks guys,,, ''a work of art'' lol not sure about that:biggrin1: see and do that kinda stuff every day and been doing it for a few months short of 50 years, just not many for me,,wished I would have done a few things different, but it will serve its purpose,...

Took the trailer down to the DMV yesterday and got it registered after filling out a bundle off forms,, only thing I forgot is a place to put the plate:clown: guess I'll make a plate with a hinge on it and hang it off the end guess n I'll have to run a light to it also

While down at the DMV also got the wee boat registered to me,,now I got to put new CA numbers on it,,,the type of old numbers on the boat are issued to law enforcement only and should have been removed before the sale of the boat to the public,,, could have got into big trouble if I had put it on the water with those numbers on it,,, almost took it to the river without getting it changed over into my name


anyway on the wee boat did the SteelFlex coating to the bottom and sealed it up,, I'll post some pics, just got to use a different puter,,, on a new laptop with windows 8, what a pile of dog poo

 

[riverbud55]

Well got the little jon boat out on the marsh for its median voyage and shake down , no more leaks , got a clamp on seat hoping to use it when driving the boat but not enough room with the tiller handle and the trolling motor being in the way and me needing to fit between the two,, think n going to move trolling motor up to the front of the boat,, boat with the extra 11'' at the bottom works much better then my other fisher jon much more stable, the western is about 46 wide and fisher is 35'', the fisher is about a foot longer,, kinda fun both have the same beam of 57'',,, thinking western was a little faster, dang if my old optima yellow top didn't finely die and didn't have the gps working,,,,,,still more work to be done,,, well was going to add pic but the manage attachments button is not working neither is the smiley face button lol

 

[riverbud55]

try again, works now with different puter

Nice...

Looks good, nice job, now I understand the reasoning on aluminum/galvanized. Just figurin the welding would be easier, but wasn't thinkin that you were doin it urself. Zinc aint' nothing to mess with either, no aluminum fumes. It looks good,

Dale, again you amaze us all. that is a sweet looking set up. better than any of the other "small ones" in your az yard. and to top it off, you can cook. you made a good addition to your family.
