Ariel 198

[kendall]

At present I can't seem to locate my camera, but will try to borrow one and get more recent pics. basically, haven't done much since the first pics were posted other than remove the counter and icebox, and correctly fill the original through hulls for the head.

I messed up on the trailer length somehow, it's 20 foot overall, not 26, no idea where the 26 came in. (edited that post) The hitch is just ahead of the bow, and the trailer extends to just aft of the rudder with the stern extending roughly 4 feet beyond.
The deck boards on the trailer are old and could use replacement, but the cradle is wide enough that if the boards weren't there it would sit on the frame rails.
My plan was to weld jack stands to the trailer corners, remove the old cradle and trailer deck, then weld two more stands in the center for use as a dedicated boat trailer.


Edited because I had noscript running, and it always puts all the text into one big hard to read lump.
