dazza ... the weight factor has always been a concern to us ..:unsure: ... :laugh:

not sure of the exact total of weight, but there is a lot of displacement in the hull, weve got plans of a 40 4 stroker to fit yet .. maybe ... :huh: :silly: :laugh:

after much debate over a few beers, were gunna call it the "promax 66'" :laugh: :laugh:

the trailer has come up a treat..... should be a dream to use ....were 99 % finished tacking it all together...then its going up the road to get migged up all round ...then hopefully off to the dippers before chrissy .... got the travelling security system sussed for the motor, used a rubber ring some rope and a couple of stainless hooks... we deciced on three side rollers along each side of transom, one at rear, another at rear of guard and one in front of guard , the 4 guard rollers arent on yet ...were hoping that they will keep the boat off the guards..... a quick trip to the wreckers saw a stub axle for 15 bucks get welded on to accomadate the spare .. we knocked 1 stud out and will weld a longer rod on in its place to take a padlock to keep the honest thieves away ... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ... we put double safety chains on .. we purposely made the draw bar area long so its easy to access and rear doors on cars etc can be opened easily...

cheers
