Stopped by and saw The boat "and sam",The pictures don't do the wagemaker justice, Very pretty! next time Sam maybe i will be able to hand awhile longer
Glad you stoped by Mick it was good to see you again ! Hope JIA wasn’t to bad to get in and out of there !
Yep maybe next time we can plan something ...
Coat # 8 on the top side is done ! Probably put 2 more on and call it good .. Then I need a good sanding on the inside and probably do a few more coats and stop at around 7 .. A few coats on the seats also .. Hope to get a good bit of trailer prep done this weekend . Got the parts that needed welding back from the guy down the street. Looks pretty good !
I plan on using epoxy primer on the bare metal . At least 1 coat then some high build primer .. I need to figure out where I’m gunna shoot the paint at .. I would use the garage but the boat is in there . I may just move the Mfg and Chris’s boat out from under the back cover and do it there .. Bad thing is it’s still a dirt floor in that area .
? Should I bondo the bare metal or bondo over the epoxy primer ..
I do have some 1/4’ ext type sheathing I can put down over the dirt and also give if a spray with water Ciera .
Yeah I guess the bondo should probably go on first .
I need to locate some chrome hub caps and I’m short 1 center roller pin . The pins I can get on eBay but I think they only sell them in a set of 7 .. 120 bucks I think ..
What type of roller pin? We have a large trailer parts warehouse down the street. Redneck trailer supply is the name. I could see if they have a single pin and mail it to ya.
a good metal etch primer, then a good primer sealer, then if you want to add bondo, then a hi-build primer, then sand it all smooth, primer again, then your top coat.
Thanks guys ! IIRC the guy at the paint store said to epoxy first before bondo .
I only got a quart of the epoxy .. Hopefully I can squeeze 2 coats out of the can . Some parts won’t need any filler .
I did get a gallon of the build primer .
‘I have the main rail sanded and I sprayed some rusto metal primer on it after a acetone bath to help keep it from rusting back while I get to the other parts .

This is the pin . I may just replace them all with the stainless idk . It’s a shame I’m missing just 1 .
I have seen where they use rubber hose over the plastic part of the roller. It’s missing that plastic part so not sure how I can replicate it ..https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tee-Nee-bo...799077&hash=item20ce6e28bf:g:7RkAAOxyqUpQ5CBs
Looks like something that could be turned on a lathe Sam. Maybe Nylon or UHMD then put on with a press fit? Or is the plastic suppose to spin on the steel shaft? Also they make pourable plastics if you could make a mold around the shaft. Never used any but there are some videos out there on it.
I need to pull the old rollers out still . Then we can get a better look at them . But I believe the pin does not roll . The one side of the pin is flattened out on both sides and that fits in a slot in the main rail ..
I’m having a hard time figuring out how to remove the handle and non-original “wheel” from the winch stand .
‘Everything looks to be pressed on . I’ll get some close up pics tomorrow and maybe you guys will have some suggestions ..
I might leave it on there if I can get it prepped for paint around it . Idk ...
im just upset you aren't doing the repairs the old way with lead i mean keeping with the year of manufacture im sure the trailer will look as awesome as the boat does so far
