man she is pretty! 1980 is so different looking than 1974. I wish I had your side cabin windows, but my bow seems to look longer... very odd looking at your pic and my boat at the same time, do you have a rear veiw pic that shows the bunks?. I think I do but I will have to find it. now i want to find your windows LOL

ok I went back with a buddy to the camper, I made a mistake the duel axles are rated at 5,500 per axle, so it has a max gvr weight of over 10,000lbs , the outside frame is 8" rectangle stock,"not c-channel" . the older fella that went with me had built one once and after looking seems to think it wont be hard to convert it, I'm gonna give it a shot as at the very worst I'll end up with a 30ft flatbed trailer. I figure I could always sell it as such if this plan doesnt work out. I do however have the luck of having two neighbors one of which works in a machine shop and the other has an AWSOME garage and welder. we'll see what happens and keep you posted.

Were you alluding to galvenized for salt water Roy? AFAIK T-man is on the St. Lawrence and it would be a long run for him to get to the salt from where he is at.
