been busy on house projects so have not done much.
instrument panel is back in and mostly wired
new cushions for the cabin are in process
hopefully get wiring wrapped up next week
ordered axles with disk brakes and actuator from the company that used to make Eagle trailers.
when i install them i will "sister" a 2x1" channel on top of the frame to beef it up, and redo the inner bunk so its not resting on the strake.
this seems to be the most cost effective route. i have seen some of what i would call a "storage trailer" that were affordable.
the only other promising trailer was the one in red wing with a V266 on it.
updates and pix to come soon.

Always a sad sight to see, but good to see you had some great helpers assisting.    Hope the project goes well and you're back on the water soon.

Scott and Jeff doing the work

Me supervising...
I was able to crawl inside on Sunday and finish removing the rest of the wood and most of the mud plate, which fortunately is not that rock hard stuff they used in the 70s.

Been a while since I updated, turns out the mud plate wasn’t that hard stuff because it was epoxy… Apparently I’m putting the second transom replacement in this boat.
Most of the grinding is done, and I have the first piece of the transom cut hopefully I’ll be able to start gluing it in this week.
On the way home from Rathbun today I stopped by the yacht club trailer factory, the parts guy was kind enough to take a few minutes away from his Father’s Day to come in and let me pick up my new axles.

Turns out that the rub rail was leaking and needed attention. :/

The leg shot in the transom picture planned?   Curious what was the compound you applied with the trowel?   Since it was a previous epoxy repair do you have to re-repair with epoxy?   Great to see progress, hope to see it in August.

I assume the black is ablative, will you restore with similar, or change to other bottom paint since it will primarily be trailered?

It is, eventually it will all get removed. But for now I will just be stripping the transom since all the hardware off.
