Great job
Great job Redneck, good idea getting rid of most RHS and replaced with parallel flange. No more rusting from water trapped inside the tube.
I realy like the pipe work up front to protect the bow, also great to grab onto while launching on slippery ramps .

pipe work is more like a
pipe work is more like a catch bar so i can drive on to the trailer and it "should" get me centeralised and the post that continues up from the winch has a tab on top of it so i can leave the power on walk forward put a rope over the post, then shut it off and get pulled out of the water all without getting my wet feet. finish the winching on dry land put safety chain on and nick off. all i've got to do now is teach the misses how to reverse..... now thats going to be fun

Safety chain
Just a quick comment regarding the safety chain, although its a smaller lighter boat theres no way in hell I would ever pull up a ramp without the safety chain attached, and on this point I mean a decent rated chain too not the crap alot of the trailer builders use I wouldnt even tie my woofa up with those !!!...
Seen too many ropes/cables break and the boat come flying off , happend too us once we bought a new plasma rope for the winch and the insertion wasnt long enough or tied off correctly and the loop slipped pulling out the ramp ,chain broke but luckily the boat was still in the water and I jumped from the jetty onto boat and a quick engine start and evasive manovering saw no damage luckily ...
cheers fishfish
