Part of the purchase "deal" included a new, custom-built "Trailmaster" trailer for the boat. The trailer was manufactured in Mishawaks, Indiana -- but had not been finished when I arrived to pick up the boat. The seller arranged for me to stay another day; the trailer was delivered a "day late" -- but, did not properly fit the boat's hull. The boat and trailer were towed back to the trailer plant, and trailer was modified to perfectly fit the boat's hull.

It's a long story, but I was present when my trailer was in the paint booth, the day before it was delivered:
The guide-ons will be removed when the boat is put in the garage. To make them easier to remove, we'll probably replace the bolts with "ball-release" pins (given to me by John S.)
John couldn't find the bolts. I've replaced originals with SS bolts and "nyloc" nuts. But, have been thinking about shortening the steel uprights, and using Schedule 40 PVC pipe over the shortened uprights when launching and retrieving. (That's the way Jerry does it with his Gar Woods.)
