I was wondering if I could just get away with the hull refurb with it still on the trailer or should I beef up the bow with some type of support to prevent excessive flex and distortion ....here's a shot of the bow.....0826011918.jpg0826011919.jpg

From bow to stern inside, including wiring, stringers, deck, new seats ....pretty much everything to be redone. Then a new gel-coat scheme for the exterior. I should have stated restoration, or rebuild....sorry bout that.

It appears to be a bunk style trailer correct???? If so, I think you'll be fine.

Right Wood it's a bunk style, I was kinda worried about flex in the bow since the distance between the last cross member and the front was a bit far and had even considered putting a brace in this space, but didn't. I was considering building a wooden support for the bow until I was done with it, but didn't til I heard opinions. Thanks fellas.....How have you been Wood great to hear from ya, how's the "Home away from Home" ?
