Maybe today Sam, but most likely tomorrow! I'm ready the trailer took way more time than I thought it would.

Finished up the wiring this afternoon on the plug, so the trailer is officially done! I still have a couple of spots to buff out on Fugglys hull, and I want to wax the bottom while I have her up in the air. So we should be good for dropping her back on the chariot tomorrow! Thanks for the great comments JB and 89! Its nice feeling to have this part done, and it does look like a different trailer!

Arch,
Trailer and boat are both beautiful! You're wasting your time! You should engineer more boats and restorations thereof! Dynamite work!!!
Cheers

I for one wish I could make a living on restoring boats. Unfortunately no one will ever pay for the amount of time you have to invest. Crazy amount of time.

Thanks for all the great comments! I wish I could do this for a living ,but its really just an expensive hobby lol! I moved Fuggly from one shop to the other today. And spent the afternoon chasing down parts. Think I spent about $1000 today. I ordered a new fuel tank, its a moller. I think it will fit pretty nicely 20 gallon. I was wanting a little larger tank, but after measuring I figured out it wouldn't fit.

I got a big box of parts yesterday and the tank. Looks like the tank should work, just need to sort out exactly where I want it. I'm hoping to make some good progress on the interior this weekend!

Ha GM Fuggly is selfish lol!



I started piecing the interior together tonight. I am still not sure what to do about the side panel, but I did take the plunge and cut them off. With the new rear deck extensions they need to be 14" shorter if I reuse them.









Does anyone know where I can get 1/2" trim that looks like this?
