Tons of the last minute details are coming together on "Maryann" as I have enshrined this weekend as the official splash date. Won't be much of an outing as I'm literally hoping to confirm reliability of major functions and the ever pressing need to float. It has very likely been 10 years since this '73 has seen any water.
With that in mind the trailer went off to the shop to get the receiver replaced, the keel roller welded at an appropriate height and get the tongue extension "unstuck"
Pics below but the existing tube is so not coming out . The shop is welding the existing in place to confirm it cannot move-- will swap out a new receiver and then has mocked up this build for a standalone extension.
I will call him Frankentrailer--
