That's an amazing job! It looks like a new boat! Congratulations! I hope you'll trailer it to Florida for the Nationals in April. I know it's a long way but I guarantee you'll have a great time! The Ocala folks all make us road warriors feel right at home (in their homes!) Besides, if you don't come, the rest of us are going to vote you in as the official "body shop" of the Class, in absentia. I do have one safety suggestion for you that you might want to consider. It was highly recommended to me by a trailer company and it makes sense. They suggested that the bow stop on the trailer be above the boweye on the boat so that in the event of a very sudden stop, the boat could not slide up and over the front of the trailer and on to the car. I'm not sure how likely that would be to occur, but it was easy enough to implement so I did it anyway. Good luck with the boat and hope to meet you in Florida!
