One Winter Project Down...

Work was slow last week so I took a few days and completely re-did my 06 V/M tandem trailer. New Kuhmo tires, all new pressure treated wood and marine carpet, new custom wiring harness, LED light upgrade, new diamond plate with NO rivets, welded previous rivet holes up because that's where they start rusting, all stainless steel hardware, Imron single stage paint. Did a minor gelcoat repair and buffed the bottom while it was sitting/hanging there off the trailer also. The casters on the back are temporary until my heavy duty ones arrive from McMaster-Carr.

Dang looks good sparky! I wish I had the means and skills to do paint and body work like that. I like the little rollers you added on the bottom of the rear of the trailer.

Dang that looks good. Need to find a place to put my boat not on the trailer for just one weekend.

Looks awesome. I gotta replace a damaged bunk this year.

Nice work Sparky!

I have the same exact trailer in blue, and it is over due. You've got me motivated.
You're right about the rivet holes under the diamond plate, what a poor design. Mine have rusted through, and I since pulled off all the diamond plate and just painted the fenders and steps temporarily.

The black looks sharp, I may just go that route also. My tower is black and there is some black striping in my gel coat so I think it will look fine with my boat.

I just may PM you once I get into it, if I have any questions.
