Q: Rollers on the trailer???

Keel Rollers I believe the term is for them, One in the front - middle - rear! I don't believe that that the boat touches the rear or middle one but it rests on the front! My boat rests on bunks which was replaced to

This is what Rot looks like!





StringerLESS SUNSPORT

[csuggs]

Were those pics in the shop of the guy in Pittsburgh? Did he support the bottom of the hull good before removing the stringers? Everyone else I've seen do the stringer job has not removed all of the stringers at once because they don't want the hull to lose it's original shape. I would definately talk to the guy about that.

I shouldnt really speak for dshaft but know a little about his boat because Chris at CK fiberglass and canvas is doing my stringers as well. Dshaft had already taken his completely apart and removed all of the stringers before taking it to Chris. I know with my rebuild that Chris is doing one side at a time. so that he can ensure everything lines up and keeps structure to the hull. Not sure if he supported dshafts but Chris knows what he is doing and I am sure it will turn out very nice regardless. Chris takes a lot of pride in his work and really is good at it. Those pics I believe are in dshafts garage.

Actaully I dropped it off with the stringers and motor in it so he could take measurements and he also has a carpenter come in the measure and cut out the New stringers out so its all gravy from here other then grinding the rest of whats left of the old stringer's

[chautauquasun]

Last time I spoke with Chris it sounded like he had the stringers done on yours. Do you have any pics of the stringer set up yet? I wont hold it against you that yours is getting done before mine.
