he made it home with the trailer, eventually. i bought a "kit" from the local marine supply that came with nuts and lock washers. shoulda had locknuts. cut the old stuff off with a grinder so didnt notice what was on there. i replaced everything, not just what was needed. kinda funny that now "i dont think i can trust these axles" and "these tires dont seem to be round enough". that trailer has served me well and those tires are fairly new. not to mention "oh, by the way, youre gonna need to replace the fuel lines on that boat" which probably means new fuel tank. and a few other things that arent what i expected, but i knew i was getting a USED boat. and when we met we both looked over the rigs before we swapped so i aint gonna complain. i am gonna buy dude a new set of tires, or at least pitch in the bigger chunk depending on cost. so i wont have the money to get this one on the water rite away but ill get it soon.
over all, the boat is pretty solid. nothing unsafe about it. came with the factory bimini and enclosures, all in good shape. ill never use the enclosures though but kinda cool. forgot how small these boats are!
