i learned a few things that day.
1. the trailer dragged on the ground with no air in the bags.

2. The steering rack can only be installed one way.
3. my trailer floated with air in the bags.
i think i joined this place around 2001. i was rebuilding a '71 Rogers Cyclone at the time. Toddnjuzz did the gel coat and my friend Jeff and I rebuilt the trailer.
I just found these old pics of the boat on its maiden voyage to the Avi in Laughlin right after the work was done.
The trailer needed a new rear xmember, bunks etc. A light night of working in his shop, a 30 pack of CL, and the trailer ended up with air bags on it. not one of our brightest moments but it looked cool.

the new bassetts looked great for all of an hour. lol
and I used to think that 455 was the meanest thing around until hbjet smoked me with his chevy.
That is all part of learning. Nothing like on the job training.
That shotgun scoop looks nice!!!!

this is what it looked like with 80psi in the 'bags. the trailer didn't have leaf springs. we put a 3 link with panhard bar on it and a pair of shocks.
it wasn't the most stable thing to tow at 80 mph.
I joined around the same time and remember that boat well. It's been a lot of fun watching you and others here progress with their different boats over the years.
Will any of us ever grow up?
