Yeah I didn't even notice that that's a good one I'll try and finish up this week and gets some pics of the trailer painted and axle and wheels underneath and bolted up
You guys have any opinion on electric over hydraulic brakes
BTW it's a myco not sure model I bought it used from trenton marine had a 42 outter limits on it
a friend an I or I guess you can say mostly him cut all the stands off and re welded all the stands to fit my bottom verse the stepped haul then I've rebuild the brakes axles and springs with bushings and seals
painting now then reassmble and put the boat back down on top
another question
will a boat warp or will it effect the bottom of a boat sitting on boat stands for long periods of time off the trailer

If you look at boats in the dry work are of a marina, they generally sit on the keel, wooden blocks at 3-4 points. The stands are only used to balance the boat, so it doesn’t fall over.
Weight on the keel should be fine, shouldn’t warp. Position the stands at strong points, under the strakes or chines.
