Got that big Newport 27 home yesterday morning. It was a scary deal jacking her up in the mud to try and change a tire, then tugging on her sitting on a dual axle trailer with an axle missing....
We managed though, and after carefully bouncing out the rough alley behind the hose we hauled her from, we managed up to 30 mph briefly running down a slight hill. Scary actually...
We were over width, under lighted, under axled, over-weight, (not sure now much water remained in the hull) but we nade it almost to exactly where I planned on parking her.
I got to my shop, got turned around and started backing up. I was hearing this weird squeak that seemed to have a resonance, and seemed to be tied to the tires rolling. about 20 feet shy of where I intended to park here the last hub stud failed on the remaining right tire, (remember, I was towing a dual axle trailer ona single axle) and the trailer's fender dropped down onto the tire. Somehow coming home, the hub and wheel managed to slowly break all five studs off. All 5 neatly sheared off right at the hub-to-wheel mating surface.... That trailer is not moving for a little while....It's not an optical illusion.
It just looks like one.....
