talked to a guy at work about sandblasting and that looks like the first thing on the agenda for the trailer. Still haven't decided about herculiner or paint, it will probably just come down to a price decision. I'm not looking to have the prettiest trailer out there, just one that isn't quite so ghetto. As for the boat itself, I've seen some neat things people are doing to their jons, but I think a good cleaning is the first order of business
