Small world we live in,,,
I don't think the trailer is original DS.
It fit OK,, I put a lot of work and some $$$ updating it, all new rollers, winch ,, a mast post. new tires, did some wielding,, new lights,
the boat Hull, was not in bad shape, the rigging spars,, were total trash,, and the sails,, did not make it. so lots of new stuff is on the way,,
I'm slowly getting parts from D&R,, the Ups man,, is a DS fan now,, as he has been to the house now every 2 or 3 days, with some part, paint,, trailer stuff for the project.
I just got new license plates for the trailer today as well.
I got the hull all sanded out and got the first coat of paint on it today. looks like it will take 3 coats.
then I'll get it back on the trailer, and do the top sides,, fix the rigging on the mast.
and hope D&R delivers the rest of the parts. and new Sails!!
I'll sail it in Lake Belton, 15 min from the house. at this time, the lake is 6 feet overflowed and the boat ramp is not open.
so I have some time to get the boat done. I just want to get it done, and I'll be ready to get it in the lake,, as soon as the water goes down!
