The big piece is what costs so much. I used four smaller squares and did one on each corner. I cut my aluminum with a router and went slow

That's everything. I cheated a little because a member on her (Justelectric) hooked it up on the corner blocks.

Thanks for all the advise guys. I am going to be talking to the guys at Bostick probably today, I will talk to them about it. Do you guy think it's a good idea to go with a rail kit? Do they build loaders at Bostick?

Sent from my garage drinking a cold PBR  Yes I like rail kits it makes life easier and just a better mounting system.  Not real sure about the loader but I know he will be able to give you help with the loader you need for horsepower and boat.

While I was taking a break from sanding I put my scjb sticker on the truck. It's about damn time. I have had it for over 6 months and finally decided that's where it needed to be.

Well yesterday I took the rest of the parts for my engine down to the guys at Bostick. They showed me the progress that they had made on all the machine work. My heads looked brand new. All they have left to do is the bore on it and it's ready to be put back together. Oh yeah!!! I also took my jet down there and their going to get started on it as well. Should have it all done by the end of this month the beginning of next month. Can't wait to have the new engine and jet.

Finished the trailer as far as I could go. Got the wheels back on and off the jack stands. I ordered all the lights and wiring. Should have it all by the middle of next week. Also talked to James at bostick and it sounds like my engine might be done ahead of schedule. Can't wait to get it and my jet back.

Nice job on it, it was worth taking your time! I'm leaning towards red myself (Match my truck) ... But haven't even started anything yet. 😢

I went red to match the boat. Once I get the boat painted the trailer will change. But for now it matches pretty well.

Wow! You did a great job matching it, L👀KS very close to the color 👍🏻

At first wasn't a huge fan of Red but the more I see it on other hulls the more I want red and plus I won't have to change trucks lol!! 👊🏻
