Getting ready for the shakedown cruise

I finally set the trailer up for the boat so the tongue weight is 200 pounds as it should be. I also took the wheels off. Thank God I planned on replacing the bearings! Both bearing nuts were so loose the hubs had play in them! One set of bearings was water fouled and had started to rust the shaft. Tomorrow, new races and bearings and a healthy addition of grease.

Best boat in the world isn't worth spit if you can't get it to the water.
