I recently did a father-son project on our rusty sailboat trailer from the 80s. When we bought the boat and trailer about a year ago, we affectionately called the boat "Ripple". The trailer had been sitting behind a barn, so it was the perfect barn find for restoration! We had not done much work and only replaced a tire up until a month ago, when we decided to do a good old restoration/hot rodding on our old Shoreline trailer. We stripped all the pin striping and logos off, then sanded off the rust. We then primered it in rust-resistant red and painted it green, matching the stripe on our boat, an S2 6.9 (6.9 refers to how many meters long the boat is). Matching the rest of the boat, we proceeded to put white pin striping, and white flames on the fenders on the trailer. We replaced most of the lights, and voila! A hot rod Ripple transporter!
