[a/s] shell 3'above traler



   I have removed the shell off the traler and have removed all the
plywood. I have welded new steel on frame that had corroded to nothing.

pix are on the above web site.
The frame was wire brushed and sanded to clean steal, and I sprayed It with
Hammerrite anti-corosive paint, This is looking like a new 1971
frame. my next project will be to re sole with 3/4" PT plywood, or to make
a new sole with fiberglass and aircraft balsa that would be less than 1/2
the Wt. If I can afforde It.
        Any ideas?
