I was thinking that this project had taken as long as it took me to repaint our Trans Am this summer/fall.

Well I had to TOTALLY redue the trailer. It got to the point that the boat was going to fall over if I did not. I came up with a much nicer way to mount the bunks and so on then the old style. It also dropped the boat about 6" lower in the stern and over a foot at the bow. So the trailer got new fenders, new axles, new brakes, new tires, new rims, new bunks, new winch, Relocated winch post and rebalanced the trailer (boat had to move forward a LOT with the loss of the weight from my stringer project) and soon new lights. Once that is done I will probably tow it to a few shops and get some estimates on doing the stringers up front and modifying the engine bay for the new blower motors and transmisions. I would like to get the offshore style brakets in there if I can. Work may be headed for a slow down for me so I am thinking that I may have time to work on this again The boat is painted and buffed out. I am thinking that I am going to have the deck shot in the grey that Formula uses on their SS boats. I may also have the sides sprayed as well in the same color... Why not... It's only money
