Just a little warning for anyone else using a "repurposed" trailer. When we pulled out of the boat launch today I had to cut a corner a little tight to avoid someone who had pulled up to far and hit the curb. It wasn't very hard but it put the Chuck B. over on it's side. I needed to check the bottom but this wasn't how I had planned to do it. I was expecting to find the starboard side pretty much destroyed when we rolled it back over but much to my suprise the only damage is a scuffed up rubrail and a small area on the interior of the cabin bulkhead about two inches long where the joint failed. I added some 3" glass strips to that joint and reccomend it after this. The trailer in question is a Balko taken from a 14' Alumacraft with a 1500 lb rating but obviosly the axel is narrower then it should be. If anyone gets frustrated with the rub rails and is tempted to leave them off , don't. They just turned something that should have been a major repair into some minor cosmetic work.
