Picked up the boat and had a few surprises. One of the leaf springs was broken but the owner replaced them both at a trailer shop and got me on the road. I spent a day epoxying D rings into the boat and stripping the extra stuff from the boat to get it ready for the trip. Dinosaur National Monument requires flotation in drift boats and open canoes so I fitted the rear area of the boat with 3 canoe float bags to make her legal. Had a great time and was really impressed with the handling of the boat. Quite different from my 18' Avon pro! Now it's back in the garage and I just got a box of southco latches in the mail so when the weather turns cold and I stop fishing for the season I'll start the decking process.
