the pin-striping is a nice touch! seeing that kind of transformation on the trailer...I can't wait to see what you do with the actual boat!

Thanks BlueFin, still have a few things to finish, hook up the wiring, install guide ons and spare tire holder, will probably start on the boat in a couple of weeks.

Trailer looks real good John, just like brand, only better cuz it's customized to your needs.

The trailer looks brand spanking new. Right down to the Maple Leaf sticker on the rear cross member. :thumb:

Thanks Glen thanks GA, came out pretty good I think, it's 1979 trailer but I like it better than the fairly new trailer that I bought for my keeper v5 has a lot more support than just the two long bunks I like the idea of bunks and rollers good support and easier loading.

Just noticed in the pics the first 2 numbers of the license plate are V5 had those plates for about 3 years and just noticed that today.
