Tom I worked on my trailer while the boat was in the water this season. I added a bracket to mount the OB on during travel and also a keel guide to center the boat during retrieval. I need to do get mine off the trailer sometime this Spring as my CB does not seem to travel Up & Down very well once I get it down I keep it there as I am at a slip for the season. Could use some details on how you keep it jacked up. I am stored in my garage and do have a small space heater that I can get the edge off but I will wait till Spring to do any serious work (Christmas gift to the boat was a Boomkicker on sale for 1/2 price) then I can get it out into the driveway.

Have a pleasant holiday. I just this week got my boat up on some jacks I made and pulled the trailer out from underneath. The board goes up and down wonderfully. The cast iron needs work. Some older layers of stuff have decided to flake off. The trailer is in better shape than I had feared. I will be replacing the axle with one that accepts five lug wheels for better load carry and peace of mind. So my side yard looks like a real "boatyard" with my craft up on the jacks. I am looking forward to getting into the rejuvenation of it. Hope you have a warm place to work on yours. The Texas weather down south here is usually pretty mild throughout the winter.

I received yours and also have seen a sharp drop off of e-mails. It just must be the season activities. I believe everyone is still out there just not sailing and some of us are in the Snow Belt and are in storage for the season.

Hi, I just realized that it has been over a month since I received any emails from the Montgomery site. Am I still on the mailing list? If not, how do I get back on it so I receive the emails? thanks, Tom B
