Boat trailer finished...for now...
Actual metal working content!
I've finished the trailer for my boat and - lo and behold - it actually worked! It's hard for people who don't make things to grasp the nuances of a project like this. But I'm sure the folks here know. How to fit a trailer to a sailboat? Nice rounded bilges, not a straight line anywhere to be seen. But the most common suggestion about getting the two to fit was, "Why don't you just measure it?" Oh yeah. Let me grab a tape measure. But in the end, not a bad fit... Although I think I have a few more gray hairs now. Was it worth it? Yes, absolutely. We are mobile now. And for about 1/2 the commonly quoted price. http://www.home.earthlink.net/~sv_temptress/trailer.htm |
