OMG thats bad a%% call me old school but I like the plymouth superbird wing idea! lol awsome!

Hey MrDj if ya end up with one, they ride real nice! feel solid unlilke some of the little boats 18ft on down etc.....

==========================

I found that locally of all places, I can get a better deal on my bearings and seals! Vegas trailer supply..... $15 for 2 bearings,2 cups, cottern pin and wheel seal, Ill be returing the 3 other seals I bought and the one bearing I have left...back to NAPA...they were $11 ea part....thats lilke 3 times more expensive OUCH!
Im calling em today to see i f they got 3 kits in stock...

Raining here this week, so next week ought to be better for working ono the trailer

found rusty wheel brake actuators (inside under the rubber seal), still havent found the same hydraul actuators....really wanna replace those.....might hafta rebuild em instead...we will see!:D

PS Hey Mr Dj if you ended up getting that boat, if thats a real Superbird wing, you could probably ebay it for several hundred bux to recoup a few $$

Ok thats it you have convinced me. I love the look of the sleekcrafts. I guess that will be my next boat. I wonder if anyone will trade a half gelcoated and half sanded yellow larson with new floor and transom for one.
