Correct Craft ( ski nautique) trailer restoration

Yeah, got it done by 10:30am. Rain Drops just started after I got the cover on her. Been dumping rain since.


Also great that we got it done today. 30 mph sustained winds, and up to 55mph gusts tomorrow

 

Very nice! Bet it feels good to have that on the trailer and covered up.

 

Not sure why you needed the straps.....it looks to me like the gripper arms would have opened far enough to mercilessly grab the sides of the boat!

 

Ummmmmmm. I can have him help you lift your truck next time you need to change a tire.

 

I got the bow stop, fenders, and side guide poles mounted tonight. I didn't repaint those things, yet, because I'm making me new brackets, and fixing the bow stop over winter. These things are good enough as is to get the boat into storage this Fall. Hopefully next weekend. Gotta pull the rudder, prop, propshaft, and prop strut off this week to get these into ship shape over winter.

 

I was curious how the dangly bits made out. But didn’t want to ask…

 

Yeah, all tweaked a bit. The shaft, gotta check, butt certain it needs to be straightened. That's easy though. The rudder bents a little, and a little will need to be braised back on. Not bad. The prop will be a spare but fixable. The prop strut is slightly tweaked. I've seen way worse fixed. I actually had to straighten the strut and shaft myself a few years ago when I hit a submerged log at idle speed. It's going to get to 70 Wednesday/ Thursday then cold and possibly snow Saturday. So Wednesday and Thursday after work are my days. Hoping this goes as well as planned. There's only like 6 or 7 bolts total.
