    Well as an update I did finish 100 percent the boat trailer. I am now placing the boat back onto the trailer. Its been very hot and I'm unable to get much done but I'm plugging away at the to-do list. LOL For now I have ignored the issues with the bottom of the boat and placing that last on the...

    lower unit or power head swap can it be done

    I looked at a boat today that had two different length motors on it. The original blew up from no oil. They replaced it with a shorter version. He said he would give me the original motor. So do you switch power heads and install old blown motor or switch lower units. I did not purchase boat...

So I ask "don't I need to dremmel out every crack?" He stated no. I guess I cant see...

    I read a lot of your purple gun write ups that guided me thru the process. Thanks After days of searching for bushings for the reverse hook springs I contacted Shorlander and they actually still have attic stock of said bushings. The bushings on the open hook spring end all wore a flat spot in...

    Thanks for the kind words. Back in the day you would have overspray that could drift a half a block. This new technology was wonderful. And it was an inexpensive HF 8.99 gun. Very pleased with how it sprayed that thick epoxy. Im now in a holding pattern for hardware. The slipper spring bolts...

    Well it wasn't so scary after all. The Boogie man was a NO SHOW.... I purchased an in line regulator and dryer from HF. Drilled out the Purple Gun to 5/16 and cleaned up the sealant within the components. Sanded the fenders with 80 grit then scrubbed the with TSP. Power washed them and set in...

    After much grinding and sanding and cleaning I was able to apply the first primer base coat. This product is thick and thinning is not recommended unless you are spraying it.The product mixes 1 to 1 and must sweat-in for 30 minutes before applying. At 72 degrees I had a working time of 1 hour...

Im going to divide the project in half doing the receiver to the first axle first. Two thin coats of Macropoxy epoxy for the base coat and two thin coats...

    Well I got the trailer out from under the boat so I can get it painted and replace bunk boards. Also I removed the bottom paint this weekend. The paint would not come off with the power washer as it did on the sides. So I had to use paint stripper. It came off easily. Just a lot of work. It was...

    Well I got one fishing trip to go before the big move. I found some nice free crib material. Pine beams from a barn that burnt down at Lake Cumberland. The owner said they were 200 years old. I also got 2 boat stands since everyone says no to concrete blocks.
