ill probably just grab some metal from this place in long beach and tack everything in place and then call up the guy that came over to reweld my trailer tongue. he had a porta welder on a truck and did everything for a fair price. the front mounts on the bunks are bolted in and are adjustable so i just need the rears redone. then i want to put a roller in the front for the bow.

ahh. i have a sunset harbor about a mile away from my house. i dont feel like driving an hour or more to a lake just to find out i have a tiny leak. for all i know i could put it in the water for 30 seconds and need to pull it back out and go home.

plenty of space for me to sit on the launch ramp and make sure everything works/no leaks.

he said it wouldnt have cost as much if i had just called him in the first place.

« **Reply #343 on:** January 01, 2014, 08:13:10 PM »

Yeah but at least you tried. If your welder was stronger it would of been fine, at least now you have piece of mind plus the whole rig looks awesome.

it floats! i had a little leak from around the bilge plug... i dont think it fits very well so im gonna ditch the cheapo brass sleeve and rubber plug for one of those stainless screw in type deals... i had one on my 18 and it was nice. other than not having the power steering hooked up everything worked. i need to adjust the shift linkage stuff and make some sleeves and use larger diameter bolts so that everything is nice and tight... it has a little bit of play in it right now and i cant really get it to go into reverse from the controls, but if i put the control in reverse and BARELY tap the shift linkage with my finger it drops right into reverse... i dont even have the ignition kill switch thing plugged in (ill hook it up soon), so thats good that the drive shifts easily. other than that it was smooth sailing. i was a little worried when i first started it up because it had been sitting for SOOOO long and the block still had water in it... once the water cycled through it it dumped a *MASSIVE* cloud of rusty water into the harbor. WHOOPS! haha.

video coming soon, waiting for youtube to process it.
