Of course I first had to set the boat up so that it was level along the waterline front to rear as well as from port to strbrd. I did this by first building a mock up of the trailer bunks supporting the hull. Copied plans from another thread on a similar topic. My trailer is not original to this boat and will need to be modified to suit.
The carpeting was "donated" by my wife... actually it was a late Sunday evening and shop is closed but I needed to pad the bunks with something. So while the wife was away visiting our daughter, I stole the passage runner out the house, cut two lengths off either side and replaced the modified runner back in the passage... They worked out to be just long enough for the bunks and have been secured in place with contact adhesive. That saying about "forgiveness or permission..."
Once the bunks were done and the boat set up I could then use the water level gauge to work out the modifications that will be required and the depth to which the rear end of the cockpit sole needs to be lowered down to.
