Latest acquisition

« **on:** May 17, 2009, 05:29:10 PM »

Team Cold Beer Racing was fortunate enough to aquire a bitchin little ride with TONS of potential.
For starters ,
THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A RACE BOAT!
At least I hope not $:-\$
First and foremost, the trailer, which was not the original trailer it came on, needs alot of work and the majority was out of nessecity.
Bunks WERE in the wrong spot.
Not anymore

Second was the winch stand that was on the trailer HAD to go .

I took pictures of it done and they didnt come out too well.
So I'll snap some more today

What is it Omar? How about a profile shot or a description

So this is what the engineers decided to do at the front of the trailer .

Personally, I love it !

The mechanics of this thing has always left me a little on the nervous side.

After having used a bit , I'm ok with it .
Maybe just go over it .

beerjet, I would like to offer my field engineering input here.....On the floater bar, put in a second bolt about a 1/2" down from the pin hole, the reason being, that deal can hit the hull, and I won't have it...

Push up on the bar and you will see Whatum talkinbout. When I build em, I never make the slot section more tha 3/4" deep just for that reason.

Nice job! Make me fell lazy as hell.

Just curious, anybody ever try like acetone or something to melt that foam?

« **Reply #14 on:** May 17, 2009, 09:20:40 PM »

Thanks Glen!
The Floater bar is getting all SS hardware and that will be added to the list.
