whats the best way to do it, use an air tool on a compresser and get the long runs and use sand paper to do the rest or just use sand paper on the hole thing. my father says to sand it by hand but come on, I would think that an air sander like for cars would be equally effective and less time consuming. sorry for all the stupid questions but I think the best technical advise comes from these fishing forums. Ben

anybody looking for a 14 ft 1986 sea nymph, 1 year old hummingbird 200dx depth sounder, (10 hours) minnkota endura 40 lbs thrust, and cannon easitroll downrigger if needed, 2 deep cycle trolling batterys that can go on 5 all day, rod holders, oars, anchor, with the ropes, life jackets, and if your a salmon/cutthroat fly flicker or want to be this is a greast boat to launch at any launch and easy to handle and cheap and I'll throw in some of my best producing saltwater flies and expert advise on when and where to go. Soon to have a refinished trailer with stainless steel or some kind of strong rust resisence bolts and screws. if interested call (360) 876 6102 ask for Ben

have taken the boat to possesion bar, neah bay to pillar point, point no point, and jeffhead on many occasions the last few years so can handle salt water if you got a head on your shoulders, but just watch out for sea lions!

I have redone several boat trailers and I only would have them sandblasted. Less elbow grease and might cost a bit more.

Most painted trailers are rusting from the inside out so if yours is bad on the outside it is probably worse on the inside if it is a hollow tubular type trailer like mine are.

I believe in bad karma, that boat has almost killed me once when I went swimmin going full speed and had to catch the boat that was still in gear and now this sea lion deal, time to let her go, want a little bigger boat that has a deeper transom but want to have a nice downpayment, the boat is a perfect lake boat, the trolling motor has 44 lbs of thrust not 40. its ready to fish. no it doesn't say fishin machine. just says the name and lengh. Ben
