[QUOTE="GAHunter, post: 467276, member: 24888"] Ty! I will jump on that this weekend hopefully. I replaced the lights on the trailer, may replace some of the bolts too.. why not. I have an old hand me down 10HP(I think it was) motor somewhere.. Evinrude. It was my grandfather's, it sat on an old john boat for 25+ years out in the weather. Me and a buddy opened her up, cleaned it a bit, dumped out the old gas, replaced some hoses and to my surprise it cranked up and ran pretty good. I just got to remember what I did with it lol. Its stored somewhere, just been 10 years +- since we did that. If not I may have to find me something else. Oh well, that will be down the road. The paint is coming off, seems like it's just a single coat or 2 on the bottom. Going to see what a pressure washer will take off and then do some more stripping. Its scratched and dinged pretty good on the bottom. May just hit it with a wire brush/drill (something aluminum or something that wont get in there and start rusting). I'll keep yall updated!
