    Default Ongoing boat project


    Well, we've made some progress on the ongoing 1952 Alumacraft project. The original trailer was turning out to be pretty difficult to work with so we regrouped. Sold the old trailer and bought another one better suited for this boat. Put a new tongue jack and winch on it, new wiring and lights, redid the bunk boards and added side bunks. She loads MUCH better now. Now the interior work begins. Fished a couple hours at the local lake this evening - had a good time.

    Very nice trailer. You can see that a lot of thought was put into loading the boat. With the bunks and the boards set up like you have, there is no place for the boat to go but to load properly. Cant wait to see the rest of the project.
