Coreytread-look whats done

Corey, heres another pic of the restoration process.

frame straightening

Looks awesome. I love the simple Nautique trailers. May I suggest you add crash pads to the bow stop? The pads will help prevent the bow stop from fatiqueing the fibergla$$ (ie. cracks) where the rub rail hits the bow stop upon loading.

Looks good there Dr!
I am on the tail end of my trailer refurb as well & I can't wait to bring the boat home out of storage to start on it. Mine has the rounded top on the bow stop, but it does have the pads to hit against like Mojo & David said.
Those are the only thing left for me to finish. If you would like sizes, pics or anything for them, just let me know. I should be cutting my new ones this week.

That is fine work Im happy to see it in such great hands. Thanks for sharing.

DrCC, looks great.

Skicat, could you post dimensions? I am a$$uming they are made out of wood covered with carpet like the bunks, is this correct?

Thanks

69 mustang,

My crash pads are 3/4" plywood, 6" x 18" is size. I picked up 1 1/2" conduit clamps at Lowes to attach them to the poles. They have carriage bolts thru the back of them covered with carpet. Hope this helps!

I've been searching for the original black vinyl hose, that was used on the loading bars.   I had to cut some of it off, to repair rust pits. Had I known this stuff was impossible to find, I would have taken the time to remove it uncut.

Nautique Mike,   I gave up on trying to have the rear bars made. So I had the bent one repaired.
I couldn't find anyone with a bender large enough for the heavy guage tubing.

As far as crash pads go, I never load it all the way to the front bars, so that I have room to put the canvas on.

Thanks Guys      AT
