Congrats. Looks great.

It seems many of these car makers are installing 4 cylinder turbo charged power plants in their vehicles.

Report back on how she tows.

I'm running with orignal factory rub rail. It is fully intact and no issues. Perhaps your issues are with how/where it contacts other objects. My rubrail almost never touches anything. The docks I connect with are lower and bumpers seem to work well on that area. If I were running against pilings an...

It’s time to write a book.

Agreed,

Titanium!

Agreed. That's some impressive fabrication.

Ditto on the photos. A picture would help.

I would think epoxy might be your best option. Prepping is key as the fiberglass has some wax or other substance they use in the mold to keep it from sticking.

The resources section of this site has manuals etc. for your boat. https://www.macgregorsailors.com/resources.html The mast rotating on the base should not have much play in it. If you remove the plate on the bottom of the mast you can tighten it to proper tension. Factory used a few washers as &quo...

Posting here is nice, thanks, but it’s not enough. Write your congressman. Join B.O.A.T.U.S. Make yourself heard. Otherwise it’s like discussing how many angels can fit on the head of a pin. Interesting, but useless. Just saying. From the link above: How to Weigh In The Coast Guard is asking for pu...

YES!

I was thinking vent for some heat device.

Reminds me of the vent I see on RVs

The bow edge looks pretty beat up. Mine is worn similarly just not as bad as that. Just the gelcoat is worn off. Mine from beaching and hitting the trailer too hard. The glass underneath is still solid. Touching it up with some paint might make it look better. Your boat your rules. Again, if it were...

I bought 4 "Class D" radials. MUCH more capacity than needed (2450 per tire). That should theoretically have 9800 lbs load capacity and I'm thinking the boat is about half that weight.

You are an inspiration. I'm 63 and the admiral thinks I'm getting too old for boating. She says "It's so much work and I'm getting old." I'll have to show her this post. I have an Apple watch that I really don't know how to use the biometric stuffs. It tracks some interesting data. I'll ha...

I also need new sheets, new keel line, new potable water bag, and a bunch of loose screws on the interior and the pedestal to fix. I’ve got a boomkicker, an anchor light for top of the mast, and some new decals for the outboard to be installed. I’ve got burning desire to fabricate an entire new wir...

A couple of times I've actually found pre-mounted sets cheaper than the exact same tire without the wheel. I hope you get lucky if you go that way. I ordered 4 mounted wheels. I went with radials because they seem to be better for highway and that's most of what this trailer sees. This way, I can s...

This may help with the load range question. https://trailer-fenders.com/trailer-parts-bloga-guide-to-understanding-trailer-tire-sidewall-information/?gad_source=5&gad_campaignid=21541037456&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3ZyAxv6AjQMV8VxHAR1WgCpnEAAYAyAAEgLbOvD_BwE This is helpful. Interesting point I di...
