Trailer Cont... and the start of the Cabin restoration.

After two full days of priming, sanding, and a little bondo the trailer looks beautiful!




Looks like it did in '74!!  Mission accomplished!




Final touches to the trailer, put on a new winch and jack.






I have also been doing a little polishing...  I can't take all the credit as you can see in the picture I had a little helper.  I went in the house to get a new polishing rag and found him just polishing away. That's my boy!!



All the aluminum pieces were dingy gray, but they polished up great!  I tried two different brands of polish.  Mothers worked the best.  It comes in a little red tub.

Before & After


The latest project has been tearing out the cabin floor and replacing the wood.  It wasn't horrible but we thought we should replace it before we repaint the boat.  Wouldn't want to scratch up the new paint job getting the boards into the cabin.  Also decided to take out the under side of the deck. (you can kinda see that in the first picture) It was a little soft.  To quote my dad...  "Might as well do it right"  We are also installing a Bomar hatch to the forward deck to add a little ventilation.  





We used the old boards as a stencil.
