Wow, thread hijack.
I've said this many times before. I trailer is a tool that accompanies your boat.
You can buy a Phillips screwdriver from Wal*Mart.
You can buy a Phillips screwdriver from a SnapOn wagon.
They both do the job.
But...
How long they do the job.
How well they do the job.
And the investment made by professional who wants a quality tool...
--are vastly different conversations.

Never done anything like that before and the yard arms were older and weren`t working so perfectly (one got stuck and would not go up or down at one point)
I was $hitting my pants the entire time. Very nerve racking.
Grand Sports center let me borrow them to redo the trailer.

See ICD that's why I posted the Pinocchio pic on the cig pics thread you say you aren't buying boat parts for some time but it's in the blood and you don't put your rig up on stands and work on your trailer just to let it sit and not get her ready for next year. I bet By April you'll be foaming at the mouth and ready to rip

That is why I buy Craftsman. The more I mess up a tool, the more puzzled the floor sales people look, and quicker they give me a new one and send me on my way. It's only happened a couple times though, but I have a 1/4" ratchet that needs to go back.

I've been through seemingly hundreds of tool guys throughout my career, the ones who I spend the most money with are the ones who are easiest to deal with no matter what.

Congratulations! Good looking boat. I hope everything works out for you. However, if that were my boat and I saw someone throwing a strap over the side & across the engine hatch to secure it to the trailer, I'd lose my cool very quickly. I'm curious why didn't they use straps from the d-rings on the transom to the last crossmember on the trailer?
