This is my latest project. 75 Hawaiian 18'. Berk 12JC, and will be powered by a 455 Olds. I found the floor to be a "little" soft, when I put my knee through it, lol. New stringers, floor, transom, and bulkhead, and paint, and she should be like new!
I will build a new tandem trailer, rather than try to salvage the current single axle one.

How come the dang pictures don't show when I posted them? I put [ img ]....[ /img ] around the url, without the spaces of course, but only got red X's.
Thanks
Dave, I am glad to see that you are making it happen.
I picked up my SleekCraft from Sleekcrat76 today. The workmanship he put into this boat is outstanding. I almost got to get it wet in the Pax on the way up from VA but I got stuck on I-95 because of an accident and it got too late - 2 bad.
DD, try going here... good luck with the boat..kinda looks like my hull slightly....

Thanks, BBB. I see the actual properties (location) of the pic are different from the url in the address bar when the pic is my screen. I'll keep that in mind when I post progress pics.
Lynn- glad to hear you are ready to hit the water. Post up a pic. The only ones I have seen are the ones where he had the big grin on his face (Sleekcraft76). I don't know if that is the boat you got.
I will be ordering the tandem axle kit on Monday from my neighbor. I also have to call over to the warehouse (at work) and order up some material to start building my new trailer. I will get them to deliver a couple 20' pieces of 4" channel to my house so I can get started on the trailer. The rest of the material I can throw in the back of my truck and bring home. I have already drawn up a 3D model of the trailer, so I can make some plans and print them out.
Whats wrong with the old trailer?
The fenders and steps are rusted thru. The front is bent a little. I have to relocate the bunks. I don't think the state of Delaware accepts a bill of sale, as far as I know. And I want a tandem trailer!
By the time I do everything I want to the trailer, I might as well fabricate a new one. Tandem axle kit I get for cost- under $300 for everything except tires/wheels. Fenders and wiring I have to buy no matter what. The steel that I actually have to pay for, I get for cost as well. I have the wood for the bunks (free).
I can build it right here in the driveway with free labor- mine!
