I was busy the last couple of days fixing the trailer fenders. They were all rusted on top, so i removed them and glass the top and bottom, then i will paint them with some Interlux gray color.
Picked up today

Also removed the electric winch which was not working, took it apart, lubricated and now is good as new, all i'm waiting for is a set of clucth washers.
I also replaced the two bow rollers with new ones.

hate to tell ya but if you didn't stop and kill that rust or prep those fenders with metal prep for fiberglassing 1) the rust will now rust it totally away inside the glass and 2) the glass will come loose and you will have a heck of a mess on the hwy when that happens. better off to buy 2 new fenders.

All rust was removed with a grinder and also made holes on the fenders for the top and bottom layer of glass to bond together. I can't find fenders to fit at the local trailer part stores, i also called EZ Loader and gave me two dealers which they wanted 650 bucks for the set
What i will do is try and make a set out of that aluminum diamond plate but i have not got a price yet. I don't even know where to go and get them done.

Is a 2000 with don't know how many hours(seller says less than 300), is a SX150 which is fuel injected. The guy, i know him, gave me the motor, controls, cables, digital tach,oil tank, s/s prop(have to check the size), he told me put it on the boat, try it and if i like it give him 2200 bucks. I think is a very good deal. What you guys think?

I miss read where you said you had removed the cap. and it did look like it had been wet at one time. Did you test it for moisture tho? Drill a hole see what the wood looks like?
