Re: The Bird has a new perch
 

Dave, I am glad that the 311 fit well and you are pleased with the trailer. Thanks again, I couldn't have asked for a better situation...

Rippem, so you know the boat? Anything in particular? When I bought her in Canada from Double R, name was "Building Speed" (a contractor was the owner).

Hey Jon, glad to see you on the Formula forum!! Welcome. :cool:

Any news on your engines yet?

Re: The Bird has a new perch
 

I would think black would be better. Rock gaurd paint sounds like a good idea, think I'll do that.

By the way Tweakinit, thanks for the photo resize info. Easy to use even for a technical caveman like me!! :D

Re: The Bird has a new perch
 

No ..not know the boat directly but had seen it for sale on the web. Looked super clean, was it?

oh, and welcome to OSO :)

Re: The Bird has a new perch
 

not if you wax the trailer like I do!... including all the x-members. ;)

once you wax over those chips in black you can't miss 'em.

Re: The Bird has a new perch
 

Yeah, got ya. I had a blue one and a red one. I waxed mine also and you're right. Dryed wax makes the dings stick out bad.

Ever see Two guys swappin a boat on two trailers at 5AM on a very cold damp october morning after a approx 1500 mile, 36 hour drive?

Re: The Bird has a new perch
 

Good to see you signed up!!

We got 'er done though. We must have looked like a couple of zombies at the ramp. 'Course, who could see us, it was pitch dark!!! :eek:

Reliant was my traveling partner. Good one to have along, he did most of the driving. :D In his brandy new truck too. :cool:

Thanks again buddy.

Nice trailer there Mayor, heard you were getting a new one. Looks like mine, except now I'm thinking someone stole one of my axles. Are the 16.5s original? What is the rating per axle?
