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).

I'm thinking for appearance better than the chips, I'll spray the center leg only of the first two x-members with chip-guard like you see on rocker panels

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!!!
Reliant was my traveling partner. Good one to have along, he did most of the driving.
In his brandy new truck too. Thanks again buddy.

Re: The Bird has a new perch
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?
