[Rhodes22-list] Adapting a trailer

[Alex McKenna]

Art,

I posted a picture in the message, did it work? I can post more pictures.

Since it is a dual axle there are a number of attachment points for the
upright brackets. I was a cabinetmaker in college, and have all the tools I
should need to fabricate the brackets. I just don't know how far apart they
need to be, and how high they are above the bottom of keel. I was planning
to unbolt the v-shaped crossmember from the bottom, and reattach it on the
top, it appears that will be close to the hull shape.
