Its better that way you will just rip it apart and spend more time fixing it up if you get used one...Those boats are heavy don't want to screw around... Did you sell your old boat?
 
I have had many used boat trailers, I too bit the bullet and purchased a " Tuff Trailer"......amazing well thought out construction of a trailer
 
Are you trying to go to the Logger's Derby in the new boat? I'm sure there are a 100 guys who want to look over the new craft. As has been said----- you are a bear for work==== very impressive.

If the new boat goes it will just be a hollow shell LOL. Already have a back up plan for that derby just in case. The boat is going away saturday to get the pod built and motor installed.

It was all TIG'ed for sure. 1/8 th 5052 aluminum with two baffle plates. Gary is trying to have an area for a bilge. The tank sits in front of the bilge area. He had to go with the low profile filler to get past the bilge and up under his transom area (while keeping all the hoses under the floor). It will be clearer once Gary post up some pics of the install.
 
John,
Curiosity question only.......
is that air fitting screwed in there just for pressure testing or are you up to something different there?
awesome skills nontheless

Yup, need a raised hitch and need to adjust the trailer bunks to make the bow sit a few inches higher
