'you cant have a boat without a name, its bad luck to have a boat without a name'

In my case however, a tear'.

Preliminary specs:

5x8 weekender clone-ish on a
4x8 HF trailer
axle swapped out from 4 lug to 5x4.5 to match my jeep
electric brakes???

If you can build it, I can break it.
It isnt half empty or half full, it is twice as big as it needs to be.

Pretty neat...I'm assuming that you must have access to that....it looks an expensive process.

Since the start of the build, i have:
-Moved the axle back some.
-Built the decking, ready to be insulated and finished in a day or two
-Got a new job (read: higher paying) that i can use to fund my build
