Used 3M Super Duty Rubbing Compund on all the Aluminum, then used Wenol. Cut and drilled all new brackets from 3/16" SS angle and replaced all u-bolts and hardware with SS. Replaced the fenders. Old fenders were in rough shape, cracked at the corners. Tires used to rub as the torsion axle made the trailer a little lower to the ground. Special spacer and wedge was employed to adapt the new fenders and give some additional clearance.

If you look closely at the top of the jack stand that is the cap off the Rust-O-Leum paint can that fits like a glove after a little trimming.. Total cost, about $400 soup 2 nuts.
 Don't tell the wife..

Looks good Ridge. I saw the rustoleum cap and got a laugh. Do you REALLY need a 2 speed winch for a flats boat?
I will be sending my V20s trailer your way soon. Needs fenders, bunk brackets, two crossmembers, 4 springs, 4 hubs, and a new tongue.

how does she tow with the single axle? I really considering going this route because of less maintenance.
