    Tomorrow hopping to reposition the mudguards and grind the calipers for rim clearance
    One set of red/amber on top of your mudgards is all you need send me a pm with your address and I'll send you 4 sets. Waterproof connectors, Save some money, a bit of solder, dual wall heatshrink and your done. If your a bit anal like me I put on some dual wall then in top of that some more dual wall heatshrink. Never fail and a lot cheaper than buying those fittings.

    I may have somewhere to keep my boat my older brother has a flat with a double garage (car in front of car style) so its about 11-12 meters deep and about the regular 2.4 meters wide roller door its got a whole bunch of shit in there probably 2 sets of everything to furnish a house, my brother has mentioned the crap needs to go but he hasnt cleaned it in 10 years however i think once my mum's time is up and i'm moved into a one bedder unit i could persway my brother letting me use the garage $50 a month for storage would likely seal the deal since he dont drive
    Hopping to be back on the trailer tomorrow, today was windy wind blew straight through ya just need to get this trailer done..

    Scott i'll install those nyloc nuts tomorrow on the tow hitch

    Got a bit done today i ground a little bit of the chunky section on the calipers for rim clearance just minorly skimmed it, i drilled and bolted on my mini mover 2 clamp bracket to the drawbar, i repositioned one mudguard but realise i need a heat gun as the mudguard back wall is sucking in touching the wheels

    Tomorrow i will order the marker lights and get a plug for the lights i think that is it than shes ready for rego

    As for my house and driveway getting the boat in and out the ambulance came the other day to take my mum to hospital and the ambo ladies could'nt get the bed out on my driveway the ambo lady mentioned the house is not suitable for my mum

    So now i'm going to concrete the whole driveway right up between the two drive paths just so my mum can get up and down the driveway, the ambos can use the bed, and i get to use it for my boat's electric mover

    How flat is your hull? Are you adding more rollers once you rego it? I know you mentioned carpet. The only bunk set-ups I have seen like you have are on freshwater ski boats that are a total float off operation

    Re: Vintage Inboard Cruisers to Centre Console Conversion

    Hey Matt i recently considered turning the trailer into a roller trailer 4 rows 40 rollers in total but i really just need it registered at this point, i can make some timber V pieces to go between the bunks and sit on each cross member lined with carpet or something just to guide the hull on straight

    The bunks measure 2.3m only the hull is 5.7m

    I don't believe that driver was at fault, he is being blamed recklessly. Maybe you should blame that dozen or so people who had symptoms but decided not to quarantine because it affected their rights of freedom.

    The whole thing is a mess, a handful of people doing what they like/wrong thing, and it sets it all off again, masks, lockdowns, closed borders, people stocking up on toilet paper and food like they are going to die of starvation in a day or have the runs for weeks.

    Re: Vintage Inboard Cruisers to Centre Console Conversion

    My mum is really worried about the toilet paper shortage she ison like 14 tablets of mixed medication a day and we actually genuinly need toilet paper, i usually buy 2 large packs and people have commented lining up at the checkout which have no idea of my situation, i recall onelady saying "gee are people still buying toilet paper" i have had dirty looks from woolworths workers for buying 2 large packs

    I just buy it b7t my mum said one large pack only last us 7 days i tried to comfort me mum in saying we have 1+ 3/4th packets but she is stressing

    I feel i may need to explain the situation next time someone questions my shopping but i fear i'll havrmeyou to explain it everytime to new people sadly
