Here is a pic of the 0.90 stainless plate under jack plate . Since all holes in my CMC plate are 9/16 I decided to go with 6 stainless bolts for plate to engine as well as 6 -9/16 bolts for plate to engine . I broke down my new plates because CMC only has clear Anodize all alum parts and look like crap after a very short time . All alum parts will be Powdercoated and the stainless angle will be left alone

I picked the boat up saturday. Check out the restored skater trailer. Big thanks to John, Chuck and Chuck. Those guys do fantastic work. If anyone out there's lookin to have their trailer rebuilt from bare metal up, I'd definately reccommend them. The trailer looks like new! new paint, bunks, wiring, led's, diamond plate, winch, wheel bearings and brakes . New rims and tires too. Sharp eyes notice a wheel/tire dimension change.
And there's glassdave lookin right at home in the bilge. He gets reccommended too. That guy takes exceptional care of his customers

In the mean time I've been trying to get some stuff done with the old 2.5 outboards that came with the skater. It had at least three seasons racing in salt, and corosion was evident on the midsections and lowers.

I found someone locally who beadblasted the outboard adapter plate removing the corosion then they powder coated it for me. The clamp bracket and can I sanded myself then sent them to a local painter for epoxy primer and gloss black topcoat as seen here after reassembly.
