    Mich and I found a clean 1961 Dorsett, bought from Helmar. What a nice guy, and under sold the boat. Mich was in love with the boat instantly. We slapped some tires on at the first tire shop and headed down the road for 350 miles home, long weekend. We started to work the night we got home sunday 6pm. We will start a new thread but not in classifieds. Thanks for the yacht.
    I remember you found the trailer tongue was bent. I was telling you I had a friend that towed a couple of boats over to this place from were I had them stored.
    Well, I ran into the Other trailer he moved over and now That trailer tongue was bent !!!...He must of jack knifed both trailer and didn't say a word.
    I am fixing up this one smaller flat bed trailer to cradle this little Bell Boy on while I gut it down to the hull.
    I used a 4x6 wood post, chains and the good ol Army or Farm Jack to bend this one back. I knew the force that bent it so knew I could get it back. Success
