FINALLY ordered a new RZR

A few more pics of my boat's progress:

You're telling me! I wish I had more/better quality pics. I really wanted to visit the factory while my boat was being built but I've just been too busy with work and now coaching Tee Ball starting today!

My aluminum C-Channel frame trailer might be done today. I can't wait to see it!

I stopped by McClain Trailers today. They are a day or two from being done with my trailer. It was hard to get many good pics but I think it looks really good. The steps and fenders will be diamond plate which I'm not real thrilled about but smooth stainless would have been crazy expensive. They bolt on so I'm thinking about taking them off at some point and having them sprayed with bed liner. A light grey would look good.

Looks like they are hooking you up!

I stopped by again today. Looks like they are almost done. It looks like it sits a lot higher than a Boatmate trailer but I measured and it was only about 3" taller (87" from the ground to the top of the windshield) than the RZR at Texas Tige on a Boatmate tandem trailer with 18" wheels.







They are cutting off those makeshift eyelets and are going to weld a piece of boxed aluminum there for me to bolt a racheting strap.



I expected them to use boxed tubing for the bunk supports but I guess they know what they are doing. That aluminum is pretty thick.

My brother is going to make me some new stainless steps and fenders for me. I wish the underside of the bunks were carpeted or at least painted. Since they sit a little higher you can see the underside. That won't be hard to do later on if it bothers me.

I can't see the pics, but it may be a good idea to NOT have the underside of the bunks carpeted, then the water can drain out of the carpet and the wood may dry quicker and not rot as fast. My Dad has a Mclain Trailer that is an 04 or 05 and we had to replace the bunks last summer because of rot.

I moved them to a new folder on Photobucket without thinking. The forum doesn't let me edit those posts so here are the pics that were there:

I got a couple more pics today. The clamping board racks are installed now. Just about everything else looks done. They're just waiting on the vinyl we ordered to come in to do the interior.








I picked up a new Ronix One Time Bomb today at M2 Sports in Houston. Can't wait to get it out on the water!












Hopefully they will get the boots in soon. I think they're pretty sweet.

Are you gonna rock that thing all white or are you planning to wrap it?

All white with the silver Freeride graphics. I figured we could always toss a wrap or half wrap on it later on if we got tired of the all white. So far though, I'm diggin it.

[NICKYPOO]

Right on. I'm 99% sure if I ordered one today, it would be 100% white. Looks dope dude. Congrats.

Is there going to be a prop guard put on the trailer?

Is there going to be a prop guard put on the trailer?

Yes. They just hadn't put it on yet when I took the pics.

Welded aluminum trailer is rare for a marine trailer.
