Well I made a Dumb mistake that has me in tears. After using the Whaler in its marina for the first weekend, it was time to bring it home. I delivered the Mako to the Marina for my cousin where it will be dry stacked. I brought the Whaler home in the Mako trailer since my cousin did not need a trailer, he told me to keep it. Well since the trailer was not in good shape I thought I will rent a Flatbed truck and deliver the Mako and bring the Whaler in a safer matter. ALthough the Whaler seem small for the trailer, it fit allright for the trip until I modified it. During the trip the Whaler move a bit but no worries, got home put in the garage and spent two day cleaning and waxing the 15. The Whaler was off the center but I did not check well enough and two weeks later (today) I said lets work on the trailer, when I went under the Trailer my Heart sunk, the Whaler was resting almost all of its weight on the corner of one of the roller towards the Transom and was digging into the Bottom, I quickly lifted the Hull off the trailer to get a look, and there it was the Hull was push inwards about 1/2 and inch and had a small crack where the corner of the roller (very old hard rollers) had dug in. Needless to say I was so sad, the bottom needed work but it was more of cleaning and waxing, no repairs needed. now I need to fix this dent and crack! well thanks for letting me vent my anger/sadness. will do a search on repairs and do that quickly. We had drawn up all the new things we were going to do to it, we want to make it look (upholstery and sun pad) like the Medline ribs. And when I called my wife over to see the damage, all she said was "well you like working on boats so there you go, more work" gave me a kiss and walk away. Is this a good wife or not? jejej will post pics of the damage.
Thanks
