Trailer:galvanized trailer, all new bearings, new tires with spare. Recently towed the boat to the key and back with no problem.

I have over 700 pictures of this boat being rebuilt. I documented the build in detail at my website and also at this site. All structural work was done with epoxy resin and biaxial fiberglass. I built this boat with then intention of keeping and using forever. I still may, but after using it for a few months with the family I think I need something a little bigger. Open to trades for a bigger boat. This boat is absolutely turn key.

NOTE: Engine was stolen off boat, first of September. I am now deciding if I want to re-power with new motor. Boat will only be for sale for short time, if it does not sell I will re-power and keep it forever.
