I finished the tin last night. When get get back I will skin the doors and start on the interior. Note the Labrador. I have been lifting her into the boat training her to the kennel and over all being in the boat. I am also training her to not jump in or out while on the trailer. Getting her up was never a problem or training issue. Getting her down she didn't trust I would hold her. I would tap my chest with an open palm, get her and take her out of the boat while I was standing on the ground. Well she is 90 pounds if she is a pound and now she trusts me. I will caution all that know me, do not stand next to that boat and for any reason tap your chest with an open palm. She will hit you like a 100 pound black cannon ball. I have to be prepared to catch her as she will dive nose first into your arms. I need to post a video of it.

I am going to hit the 80 mph mark on video. Go all the way or stay on the couch. I know dang well it will make it in a 100. It was solid before the tin went on. Now it is solid as stone.

First, be sure to get the trailer inspected and registered, and a sticker on the boat, or that speeding ticket will get real, real fast. You might volunteer for a half time show at the Speedway.

I don't think the boat trailer is heavy enough to require an inspection. So far as speeding I just won't stop. I can outrun the police and the radio.
