Enforcer Paint Resto

The plan today is get the rigging done on the transom so that I can switch trailers at the river. Then continue putting the boat back together.:thumb: However first thing this morning I'm having new tires put on the truck, the old ones are wore out from being a road warrior!!:D
 
I got most of the rigging done today except for mounting the motor, windshield, interior and rub rail. The setback bracket, jackplate, trim tabs, swim platform, lights, fuel fill, fuel vent, bilge pump, snaps are connected/mounted. That's all I'll be able to do this weekend, have a Charity golf tournament tomorrow then back to work on Sunday. Here are some pictures.

Looks great! Does the keel rest on the roller when the boat is in the full forward position? I realize that is not the trailer you are going to keep it on but should it be resting on the roller in the front? Just want to check if I should order one of them when I order my bunk brackets in a couple of weeks.

Yep the keel rests on the front roller, the other trailer is the same way. I had one on the back to help align the boat when loading.
 
Coming along nicely Robbie:bigthumb:

Time to get that engine out of the mud and in the water:poke: :thumb:

:lol: I freaked the hell out yesterday afternoon, seeing my motor laying the ground!!! The good news is it fell on a rubber maid trash can, that saved the cowling!!:eek:
 
That's kind of what I was figuring. One on the rear crossmember to prevent keel damage when loading and one on the front for extra hull support.

A big thanks to Caddman(Trey) for helping me switch trailers this morning. I need to adjust the outer bunks probably bring them in a little or buy taller brackets. I'm glad we went early this morning, we had to adjust the bow stop a few times. Here's some pictures.

Eventually!!!! I'm on a mission at the moment to get this boat in the water!!! 90* yesterday and 88* today.:cheers: Of course it will rain when it's time to dump the boat in the water!!!:shakehead:

Boat really looks great, Rob, Be sure to get some pics for us when you do dump her in the water. They always look better wet, kinda like women! :lol:
 
Looking good Boodle! How does that trailer tow vs the old one??

Like it's not even behind the truck!!!! Even Trey notice the difference, he pulled the empty one first, then after we switched trailers he pulled the steel trailer back home. Much much better, a few adjustments and I'll be good to go. I'm headed your way Friday morning with the old trailer.:thumb: Text me your addy.:D

I should of done that this morning while we were switching trailers, minus the mota!!:)
 
Looks sweet! Why not just spread the inner bunks and let the boat drop a bit to meet the outer bunks?
 
I had to do it with my two place jet ski trailer. The bunks are much closer together up front than in the rear.
