Thanks everyone! Good to have this project completed. I haven't been able to use the boat cause it rains so much... Yesterday I finally decided to tackle my fuel gauge problem where I would turn...

Alright guys, here it is. Got to the ramp this morning and swapped the boat back to my trailer from my dad's and nothing fell apart. If it did i was just going to unhook it and leave it lol.
Boat...

I'll switch it out. I need a new soldiering iron first lol

So I hosed down the trailer yesterday and the paint didn't bubble. Maybe I'm good?

Thanks everyone. I've had it sitting outside all week uncovered to see if maybe the paint will cure better? I'll spray it with a hose tomorrow to see if it bubbles up again

So good news and bad news.

Good news is it's done.

I have both axles in but unfortunately didn't have all the u bolts to get...

Couple more pics. Got the trailer washed down and dried and then primed. Also primed all the suspension parts. Let that all dry for 24 hours and then painted everything with under coating. I have a...

Thanks! And it's Dupli-color bed armor. Seems like it dries pretty hard. Was still kinda tacky when I left this morning. I'll see how it feels when I get home at the end of the week.

I'm gonna put...

Quick update. Got the 1 fender cleaned off, scuffed up with 80 grit and hit with 3 coats of primer.

Also hit with 3 coats of the rubberized truck bed liner...

Been a little bit and haven't gotten a whole lot done. It rains whenever I try to work on this thing.

Last weekend all I had time to do was weld on some bolts to use as places to attach ground...

Thanks everyone. Lots of time watching YouTube and several spools of wire practicing on old brake rotors lol.

I should have more updates this weekend once I get back from work. I'd like to get...

Hey Everyone, posting up some pics of my attempt at fixing my boat trailer. Its for a Skeeter ZX-180 and originally came with a single axle trailer. At some point one of the previous owners decided...

What'd you guys use to mount against the inside of your fenders? Trailer looks great

I need some for my zx180 as well. Hate only having 1

Man I have not been on in awhile due to a hectic work schedule, but your boat came out looking great! I havent been able to touch mine to make any more progress sadly. I did wash it and throw a coat...

Kinda late, but I was there on the 19th and water is as low as i've ever seen it. Definitely stick to the middle and trim your motor up. Never had an issue though

There's a good size pond in my neighborhood that I'd love to put some fish in but I think they used to treat it with chemicals cause the water is always a cloudy grayish color and I've never seen any...

I'm in the Orlando area

Captainrab, those are some nice fish. Next time I got out on the river with shiners I may dump any extras I have into these 2 ponds to try to fatten these guys up some....

So gas is getting stupid expensive again, so havent been taking the boat out as much. Instead i've been fartin around in a couple ponds in a friends neighborhood. In 1 tiny pond we pulled 8 bass out,...

Man what a difference. Looks brand new! Awesome work! Did you do the whole boat or just certain sections?

I havent touched mine, rain and had to pull a 21 hour shift last weekend -.-

Nice Fish!

Looks great! I'm gonna need to do mine soon, not looking forward to it lol

I'm hoping its just a loose wire or something really easy, i've seen a brown wire thats not connected to anything and not sure where it goes. I'll let everyone know what I find if I can ever get off...

Thanks for the replies, I'm gonna take a look at it this weekend and see what I can find. When I first got the boat the tank was pretty much empty and once I flipped the power switch on the gauge...

Whats the best way to figure out what part is bad with the fuel guage. I have 2 levels, full with the power switch on and empty with the power switch off (key on). I'm assuming the gauge is fine, but...
