As if last year wasn't rough enough on me, it still continues to linger. Beginning of last season I found out my engine block cracked. Took 3 months I think to get it all fixed. 1st outing with the new motor went great. On the way home, the tire on the trailer slung the tread and tore the trailer up pretty bad.
It rolled the fender up, it's done. It broke the weld on the rear step, and busted out the lights on that side. When that happened, I was so pissed I put the boat up and haven't touched it since. My intentions were to fix it this winter and put it up for sale. I put 3 hours and over $7k in my boat last season.
Since then, life has taken a turn. My wife and I separated and are getting a divorce. Me being a man, I'm thinking this will now be the best summer ever on the boat. So it's time to fix up the trailer.
I contact the dealer and they suggest I go direct to boatmate since there's a 5 year warranty on the trailer. Just so happens my boat is about 4 1/2 years old. Contact boatmate and they said they don't cover blowouts, though there's no exclusions in the warranty that I saw.
Anyway, the parts are too bad, I just need to find a welder that can fix up the rear step. Anyone in the Austin area know of any decent welders?
Dang boats. I have a love/hate relationship with this thing. I'm hoping to make up for it this year.
