Default New Trailer Project...

First pic of the "new to me" trailer for the Velocity. Was going to re-do my tube steel trailer, but between the Florida saltwater, and the price of this one, it was impossible to resist.

It needs a little work, but not too bad overall. Will be switching the wheels/tires with the ones on my current trailer since the tires are new and the wheels are aluminum. Will also be completely re-doing the bunk setup, re-plumb and re-mount the brakes, and some cleanup.

First thing to go was the PVC guide poles.

More to come in the next couple weeks.

Moving forward...My old trailer is sold, so now I have a deadline...

Some pics... Stripped it down and gave it an acid bath last night. Came out good. I have a few more parts to clean/paint, and a few new on the way. Hope to start re-assembling this weekend.

Well, outside of a new reverse lockout solenoid and bleeding the brakes, it's done! Took it to the water today too, and it loads perfect.
