I started prepping my capri trailer for a complete sanding/repaint with LED lights and all put on it...should be done by friday...ill post some pics when i get a chance. lifting the boat off the trailer with a crane was a bit tricky though! just had to share the excitement lol.

Redone, Led's sounds like a good project. Would like to see pics. I noticed how your bimini top attaches to the gunwall. My side window is exactly like yours and I would need the same setup. Can you advise where you bought it? Can't find any listings on bl cobra.

soo...i got the trailer stripped down of all the boards n lights n sanded down. painted it today, re-covered the boards and installed them. Still missing fenderwells and sideboards and lights, but heres some pics. its not the greatest job, but then again im not puttin a $40,000 Hallett or anything on it lol.

Trailer is looking great! I like those center bunks.

Is that an overhead hoist for lifting your boat off the trailer? Drool...

thanks...the bunks are the old boards, i just put new hardware and outdoor carpeting from Lowes on it lol...and yes, its a 5 ton overhead remote control crane haha...thats part of what inspired the project, since i have access to storage and the crane in the hanger at work.

Great job redone. I like the white better than the dark blue. Send another pic when boat is back on.
