Very slick set up.

That makes me wish I had done rollers instead of just replacing my pads. Oh well, it works.

You bet it's nice, Living on the boat that is, We got a nice marina an the other Bob is just down the docks from me. Last season we took both boats out together and we often share rides on each others boats. Great to have friends close by.

BTW - about the trailer the previous owner had it converted from a powerboat trailer, it's rated at 11,500 lbs. so I got lots of room fer overload. I did add a pulley system to help unload the boat when it's shallow. I use the trailer winch to pull the boat off. Works real good. You can see the cable in the pics.

Nice trailer but your galley is awesome. I will consider using some of your ideas in my boat

Do you have a sail boat or a speed boat that engine is huge!!!

John that's a 9.9 hp Mercury BigFoot with a hydraulic tilt. And be my guest the wood is red oak stained golden oak and sealed with epoxy resin than varnished. The stove I picked up from Bass Pro Shops and is a tailgate stainless steel stove called the Outback ($150.00) The steps are removable so I can cook.The fridge is built into the port quarter and is an Engel 48 qt. top load that runs on 110V or 12V. Under the sink is the 110V built in Microwave that I use while at dock. The Vbirth is where I have my DVD player and 15" LCD TV and the sattilite reciever I use while docked. Though I'm planning on buying a portable Sattilite reciever. (Direct TV). The area on the starboard side is my nav station where my laptop is stored in a drawer (that is not installed in the picture) Electronic compass, VHF and weather station built into the bulkhead (looking aft).

Beautiful interior, Bob!

Thanks guys for all the complements - It makes for a homey, comfortable stay during the summer months. I do use an air conditioner (didn't have to use it last summer the fans kept it cool) when it's to warm and an electric heater when it gets cool. I'll have to post some more pics to show the salon sole it's vinyl strips that look like oak flooring turned out real nice. "CRYSYA" can only sleep three adults now - four if one is a child. The stern area holds my battery pallet and water tank and is storage for things like my on board generator, gas grill and diving and fishing equipment. Also the cat luvs sleeping back there - LOL

That interior is awesome!

I wish my trailer had rollers instead of the 12x12 pads. It would sure make loading and unloading in shallow water easier.
