and it looks like the Ranger came through the winter just fine.
Probably just a quick wash and light wax, power wash the interior and
we're off and running.

The new hull bottom looks real good - changed the lines of the boat
quite a bit - I didn't notice that when I picked it up in December.
Here's some images.

Tom, you've got rust on that fender!

And interesting, that the green metalflake has now turned blue.
That is except in the pic that I saved and now it's black.

Mold problem?

That "rust" appears to be a rusty tie down ring of some type. Either Ranger
or Tom didn't opt for the much more expensive non-rusting type. 8-)

The "mold' you are seeing is the edge of the carpeted bunk rails.

Very easy to analyze if you take the picture to enlarge it a bit.

Might be one of those fancy Ranger painted metal trailers.

Of course it does.

When was the last time you had your eyes checked?

Or have you been color blind your whole life? :)

I just went out and looked at that - didn't notice it.

Must have not been non-magnetic stainless. I ran into that on the
trailer in another place - up where the bow post is clamped to the
trailer frame. I have three big 1/2 clamps securing the bow post to
the trailer and last year, one rusted over winter. Removed it and
used a magnet - sure enough.

The "mold' you are seeing is the edge of the carpeted bunk rails.

New carpet and bunks this year too.

Next year, probably stainless discs and new calipers.

SWS,

My monitor must be defective also, it appeared that you had Evinrude's
ETEC engine on the back of that nice fishing boat.

I thought they blew up after one season and spent most of the time
during the first year in the shop.

Except for that tiny rust spot on the fender, both boat, engine and
trailer looked new.

Actually tom,now that you've mentioned that. at 52 i have 20/10
vision.

However I am a bit color blind. In fact it kept me out of the Marines.

Army didn't mind, though.
