Re: Love, Necessity and Pride

Trailer is officially done...

I will be trying to get a few friends over with the enticement of free beer this weekend to help me set the hull on the trailer and make sure everything is good to go...


Built a rolling engine stand for the big Tower of Power...

Happy Friday to all, and may your weekend be filled with great progress on your boats...

Congrats on the trailer being complete GT.

I really do like the way the bunks turned out. Gives it some style and flair, just like you have....

Have a good weekend. May you have more than enough helpers to get the hull nestled in there.

Great job on the trailer. You'll be really glad to have that all done when it comes time to finish up the boat. I wasn't quite so smart and had a finished boat on a non-road ready trailer and had to scramble to get it fixed up so I could launch.

Great job on the trailor and stand! But it looks like your tower is in need of some power!

Thanks Craig, ...and Yes, the stand is directly from the Iboats special, just slightly modified to fit my needs...holler whenever...

Thanks S.P.
The tower is definitely in need of some pieces parts...the powerhead is in South Carolina, getting redone by Clams Canino and waiting for fundage from my part, along with all the other bits and pieces scattered throughout my house...:redface:

Re: Love, Necessity and Pride

And now for the big reveal...

Can you say perfect?...

I couldn't wait any longer and decided to try and get this thing on the trailer for a test fit, sooooo....

I started by sliding the hull back on a little homemade dolly and removing most of the hull supporting structure...

Then I got my neighbor to pull out the last supporting piece, while I lifted the hull and set it on the trailer...

Then a simple little push and it was sitting on it's new ride like it was nobody's bizzzness...

I didn't get pics of the transfer, since most of it was done by yours truly, but I did get some of it after the Bassassin was sitting on its new ride...

Feel like a kid on Christmas morning, I do...!!!


Have a great week, y'all...

Re: Love, Necessity and Pride

Nice looking Bassassin carriage ya got going there GT. Well done!

In those last 2 pix it looks like your neighbors I/O is towing your trailer @ your yard

Have a great week!

Re: Love, Necessity and Pride

Looks great man, but if I knew you were just going to put a boat shaped hot tub on it, I would have just suggested a dolly to cart it around the yard,lol :facepalm:

Dankeshein JC, Now if I could just keep it from turning into a pumpkin...

Thanks CC, That's what the outboard's gonna be for, to power up the water jets in the hot tub...

Like a glove man, ​Sweet!

Thanks TDF, but definitely NOT like OJ's Glove...[old reference to the Simpson Trial]...for those too young to remember...

Very Nice, I think you could get a trolling motor and go fishin

If it wasn't for all the dang holes, I actually could you know...

Congrats! That looks like a great fit. I noticed you ground the rivet holes from the rub rail and the transom holes, whats the plan there? Are you going to fiberglass over those areas? The re-drill?

Re: Love, Necessity and Pride

I thought those were those fake bullet stickers from spencers!

Thanks V...Yes, They are all getting faired out for refilling and redrilling... where necessary, I will fill with PB +, and/ or 1708/CSM...I will also be adding a strip of fiberglassed plywood tabbed in, as a backer for the rubrail screws...

I thought those were those fake bullet stickers from spencers!

How I wish...:facepalm:

Re: Love, Necessity and Pride

Nice job.... Now get crackin on the glassin'....

.... Seeing that boat without its guts really shows you how wide a beam (relative to height) those bass boats have...

Look forward to the next steps
