Jeff has been a good sport about my new boat. He volunteered to drive up and tow the trailer home, which allowed him to get well acquainted with it. He wasn't impressed.
It was a little disheartening, as the whole plan for this package was to be able to tow the boat to locations around Ontario. The Trent Severn, the Muskoka Lakes, The Rideau, The North Channel all were on our short list. The trailer was essential.
Jeff came up with a solution. An old racing boat for sale on the internet caught his attention. The boat was well past it's best before date. It actually had weeds growing in it but would make an interesting project for someone! It sat on a rough-looking but solid trailer.
Jeff knows good bones when he sees them. He picked up the whole package, then sold the boat off at cost and ended up with the rough trailer left over. Perfect!
Then began the transformation: Sand blasted, painted, modified by a welder, new wheels, fancy rims.
The trailer ended up being worth more than boat it was meant to transport! But Lillie May sits proudly and securely on it and can safely be trailered where ever we want to take her.
