Oday 222 Mt. Pleasant, SC
Not much work done on the boat itself. I am removing the tape I used to cover the holes in the deck because the heat and humidity was causing condensation on the underside of some of the tape so the core was getting damp from that. Also, with the chalky gelcoat and paint on the deck plus the texture of the nonskid, the tape wasn't sealing out all the water. So, I bought a tarp to cover the boat. The bulk of my work this weekend was on the trailer. The trailer was obviously never fitted to the boat since the keel was floating about 4" above the keel roller. The front and rear bunk supports were not adjustable, only the middle supports were. So, I bought some adjustable uprights and cut off some of the existing supports and started putting the new pieces and parts together. I also replaced the keel rollers. Unfortunately, the trailer only has one large keel roller and one smaller roller up front, plus the bow stop. So, I'll see how this works out. In the future, I'll see about adding more keel support.
