Thanks Jim, jury's still out on the trailer, I may use it this summer and redo the newer EZ loader for next year. It will get the boat down about 8 "lower than this one.

Hey Glen looking great sounds like you have a good plan, just curious what kind of paint are you going to use.

Thanks guys, Bud I'm not sure on the type of paint yet, thinking about Rustoleum Hammered Black.

I sure hope you hung onto that Kleenex Jason.

Here's my new bow rail, timing is pretty strange B2, must be Karma.







I locked the conduit bender in the vice and then just pushed on the aluminum to get my bends a little at a time.

Looks really sharp Glen! Nice work there. I like the way that's turning out.... diamond plate, shiny bits...

Where you thinking of black as the color?? Seems to me that's what you mentioned a little bit ago.

Real busy morning, all the prep work done for paint and the shop dusted out. Self etching is on. Grey primer next about 4pm.

Convince, nope, not really, just told her the frame was in real bad shape so it was the only way to make it look decent.:facepalm:

Your as easy as she is GA:D Grey primer is on, no pics it looks the same as before except it's grey, and I'm to tired to go back out with the camera.
