Notta ‘nother 21RC build thread

[cj222]

Got all 7 billet plates made. Will clean up the edges before going to polisher.

 

[River Dirt 2]

Nice work, those plates are looking great.
We did something similar but I was not going to try and keep them polished.

Awesome! Are those polished and clear anodized? That is what we plan to do with these plates.

Getting all the floor panels fitted. This trailer is close to going to powdercoat.

 

[cj222]

Ready to disassemble and send out for powdercoat.

 

[lenmann]

Damn that thing looks great. Nicely done.

It sure does have a lot more steel in it than the new one I had built by a popular Havausu builder.

Thank you! I may have gone a little overboard with the flooring supports but, this trailer is solid

Yes…. The answer is yes…. lol and he gets paid. There’s the difference of being a true pro. Getting paid for something you love doing.
thanks for all the updates Nick. I’ll see you today at noon with the boat.

 

[cj222]

Do you own a shop as a business or is all this boat stuff just for fun??

Finally got the billet plates and chrome guide posts back. Waiting on a few more pieces we added on to this project to come back and then I'll be able to button up this build.

Guide poles are chrome, how did you finish the plates? Everything looks beautiful

I had the plates polished and then took them to another company to get clear Cerakote done. The vendor had them for 2 weeks and when I picked them up they looked like absolute SH**! so I rejected them. I told them to strip them and have them repolished and I'll pick them up. So they are just polished aluminum now.

So what do you think the issue was? Poor application of the CeraKote or is trying to coat a polished surface just problematic?

Asking for a friend who has some polished stuff on this boat motor...

Lack of preparation and poor application. I have seen this process done on polished parts before and the outcome was perfect. These plates had runs and fish eyes over the entire surface of all 7 plates. I could have done better with spray can of clear from home depot. Needless to say this was the first and last time I use that vendor.

 

[SoCalZero]

Why not go stainless? Polish once and done.

I don't have the tooling to do stainless like that

Got the bling on and pulled it outside for some daylight

Man that came out nice. I really like your design on the guide poles, super clean.

The rails on the fenders are a cool idea too, kinda like what you might see on the running boards of a high end hot rod build.

Well done sir!

Thank you! I really appreciate the compliment!

 

[jayteetrotter]

We weren’t happy with the long black fender. Stainless triples, that wide are impossible to come by in a timely manner, so we created something cool to add some bling while using colored fenders.
The original thought was another plate like the steps with ball milling in the rear which ultimately evolved into the step strips which are even cooler… just enough polished presence.

 

[Sawtooth]

cj222 outstanding work there dude! I really, really like how on this trailer and the other Schiada boat trailers you have built (seen here on RDP) the boats sit flat/level rather than nose up like a lot I’ve seen……mine included. Great craftsmanship !!

So out of curiosity did you set axle at "0" camber due to frame rigidity or leave then "As is"/
