January 9th, 2013 - Flipping the Trimate

Today we took the Trimate off of the trailer for two reasons. First, it was time to clean and buff the bottom to get it as clean as possible. Second, it was time to restore the Calkins Trailer that came with the boat. We raised the front of the boat with a come-a-long and straps followed by lifting the back with a motorcycle jack. When the boat was in the air, we pulled the trailer out. We then lowered the back of the boat and flipped it over, pivoting it on the strap on the bow. When the boat was upside down, it was easy to go to town on it with Aqua Buff. That stuff really works great.
