Well, once again our boat will not be in a local event!
I had to pull the wheels off to send them back to the warehouse because all 4 had failure of the clear coat with bad corrosion after only 4 dunks. When I pulled them off I noticed the rear axle inner seal on both sides had failed. Nearest trailer shop is four days backed up and I have medical test scheduled this week that'll take me out for a day. Also all my tools are still in Missouri at United Van lines! So VERY glad I bought a new trailer for the salt water!! And from a builder everyone gushes over to top it off!!
This move to Texas has now reached "SUCKS" status, the shine has definitely worn off. Oh, and we are meeting with a structural engineer this morning for a foundation inspection on our second attempt to buy a new home in the Houston area!!

Probably not.
I was over at Bobby's a few afternoons ago having beers after Eljo finished the new roof and told him about the get together.
If we can stop our shows on Saturday we'll bring his out in the afternoon
Problem is I got bumped on redimix today due to rain and if we get scheduled tomorrow I'll have to pour 1000sq/ft pool deck.
Really hoping that the dispatcher bumps me to Monday and he got his ducks in a row on scheduling no work for tomorrow.
I hope we can make it.
If not, y'all have an awesome time.
See ya,
Kelly

Sorry we couldn't make it out tonight. Between the skies and radar looking not so friendly the wife was not having it. If we would have gotten caught out in a bad rain or lightening storm, she'd be mad like an old wet hen. I'm the one that lives with her.
Hoping tomorrow will be nicer.

Thanks guys for all the great information and offers!!
Thank you for the information and more importantly your willingness to help. I had an upper GI exam on Thursday and was still out of it yesterday, my wife and I also had an afternoon meeting so my free time was extremely limited. Kind of a problem.
It is a Manning Marine trailer. The axles come packed and assembled, I don't think it was directly their fault. The wheel supplier did make good with the exchange but the fact that I had to do that or any of this kind of blows.
I will check them out as well, thank you.
There are a lot of trailer shops around town that could hook you up before the weekend. McClain trailers does service also.
Not sure where you ended up in town. http://www.countrysidetrailers.com/ in Spring has always been great to deal with.
Alternatively, pick up the parts and come by my house Friday evening and we will fix it asap.

I hope you guys and girls had a great time.
Sorry we couldn't make it to join y'all.
I double dog dare you, LOL!!!
You do know from this day forward it can really only get better.
I'm gonna check the link, I think those are both Lake Travis based groups in Austin.
By the last week of October my pool construction workload has usually slowed way down compared to March through September.
If so I'd really like to attend.
Our weather around Halloween is typically awesome and that ain't a bad drive at all.
See ya,
Kelly
