So there are a few details left, but the weather's gett'in a bit wet so here are some photo's of my trailer after a little work....
Winch, licence plate, two side marker light's, guide pole covers and a wheel left to go on........

New fender's, bearings, bunks, winch strap, light's & wiring, steps (marine ply, clear coated and anti slipped), and paint....

I'm happy, hopefully the boat's a little more comfortable....

That's my paint man in the last shot, do'in a couple touch-up's!

Anybody know where I can get new cover's for my guide pole's???? either PVC or fabric to cover old PVC, maybe something with Supra on it????

Salty, May 11, 2009 3:30pm Just as a rough estimate! The boat comes home....
That's safely after mother's day and quite frankly nothing else is as important the following monday!
I'd expect that 3:30 will be the time that Connie and I get back to the city!!!!

Ha, I was thinking something was missing.....Look at the inner fender's. I think I forgot to make the innner fender cover's (carpeted), back to the wood shop!

Hey that trailer looks great! You'll be glad you took the time to do all that work. Who's your helper - is that your boy? He'll have a great time growing up with that boat and a dad that will take him out on the water and teach him! Enjoy it while you can - they grow up so fast!

No kidding, he's only 13 month's and that seems to have flown by....
We gotta slow the clock down for the next month, Daddy's boat's not ready.....
I'm pretty sure he'll be tubing with his mom and dad this summer, slowly!

Yeah - you gotta start 'em slow. But start 'em early no doubt. My middle son (now 15) was on the kneeboard solo when he just turned 3? My mom freaked!

Great looking trailer! I have done some stuff to mine like LED lights and chrome fenders, on my guide poles my uncle gave me some black reflective tape that I wrapped the PVC with- looks pretty cool and cheap!

I just replaced my fender gaurds also. Does anyone know what fender guides I can buy for my Dorsey trailer that work well? I cant believe it doesnt have any. I need the whole pieces not just covers.

So the trailer found it's boat and they both found home!!!!!
Now the fun begins... I've been waiting too long to have the boat at my house, you guys should be ready for a barage of questions.......snapped a couple pic's before leaving the country, gotta go out and get camera...

For a minute there, I thought the boat might not make it out this summer, it's been a dark couple weeks........

just a couple pic's....trailer handled the road well since it's rebuild...
bought a $100 cover, should fit pretty well with a couple passes through the sewing machne......
Tomorrow's pic's will have to go in the pride and joy.......gutted interior, precleaning....
Is it me or does the side profile of a Conbrio look kinda like a skipping stone????
