    Nothing too extreme but it was quite the sight when we flipped my hull over to clean up the bottom and paint it. Instead of rolling it over side to side onto tires or something like most folks I made a roll over bracket and clamped it to the transom and flipped it head over tail length wise. Only had the one picture though as everyone was involved when we made the flip so nobody left to run the camera.



    I guess it worked as it is almost finished!

    Thanks!...not quite done yet but pretty close. I'm building a bigger garage so I can start working on the next project. We'll see how much redneck engineering happens during that process lol

    Damn things went for $285, pro cupped for the boat. But that was in the 70's also! New L/U, new gears, new prop total?. Maybe $600 then..(but from friends also).

    Pic way back when, AND SOLID MOUNTS TO THE AZZEND..(ALSO, Bobby Switzer made that boat, and rigged it. One of the few with horizontal trim only race rams, zero tilt. Freaking beast!

    I would have to be a boss on the hydro foot peddle to handle a wheelie! Im afraid if I tried a wheelie it would be my last I did pop it up a couple inches just to see how light it was. Its pretty light up front. I have two 100 lb tractor weights my brother is bringing to me at some point. They will be slung under the frame where the mower deck was.

    PS Robbi. This is getting a front ball hitch as well. Just need the steel to weld it up.

    And FYI on the mover a 1 7/8 ball works fine for 1 7/8 and 2 inch receivers. No need for a 2 inch ball. The 2 inch reciever is a little loose on a 1 7/8 but it will never come off. For just moving around at slow speeds I dont bother with a 2 inch ball.

    Ive got half and half. Half my trailers are 1 7/8 and half are 2 inch.

    Yeah, I know that, but the older (and wiser I think?) I get, I don't take any chances. Have room for both anyway. Thing is I'm going uphill, not smooth pavement either. Rough unimproved lot just down from me friend owns. And I push them, not reverse tow. If a trailer bounced off, well, my feet are just behind the balls, and simple don't take any short cuts. Plus 4 boat trailers, and a heavy 2" ball box trailer that I damn sure want connected!
