Put the boat in the water,while you work on the trailer save you some money,size up the new bunks with the old ones then swap them out. easy fix ;D

when do you want to do this? and is all you want to do is replace the bunk boards. if so we can do it here at my house in long beach. let me know
oh yeah i wont be available to do this for about 3 weeks

sorry didn't see that you wanted to weld, no biggie my race boat is off the trailer rite now and you are welcome to sit your boat on it and take it home if you wish. we can swap trailers at the launch ramp in long beach.
