Yeah I've been guilty of that myself. My 20SF trailer definitely needs some love, decided to do this one right from the beginning.

Just some food for thought , I would reconsider raising the stringers on the Savage. You can save yourself a lot of work. With proper plumb of the tru hull scuppers out the transom, The 23' will not give you wet feet thus maintaining the high gunwhales... I used Gemlux with the replaceable flaps were still above the waterrline. GLW the rebuild.

Good info, right now I'm torn with the idea of removing wet foam and just re-filling/glassing and doing a stringer rebuild to a grid system using Coosa. I really like the idea of getting the extra storage of the grid, but not 100% sold on the extra work/time/loss of foam. Right now I'm learning towards just cutting tops, re-filling, and re-glassing tops.

Haha, for real. I've probably looked at the picture of both axles of brakes done 100x, thinking "Man, who knew trailer brakes could be so sexy?!"

Eastern Marine for most of the stuff including the hubs, brakes, hydraulic lines, hydraulic actuator, etc.
Axles from
this ebay store, which had very reasonable shipping ($75 for (2) 94" axles shipped) and were packed extremely well so they arrived in perfect condition.
Bolt Depot for all the hardware.
And since noone likes posts from the thread OP w/o pictures. A teaser image:
She floats! Took her down the lake and moved her further back on the trailer after Florence stopped pissing on us. Tongue weight isn't perfect, but ridiculously better than it was, 600lbs of motor off her transom will help.
Pulled the trigger on (3) 3/4" sheets of 26lb Coosa for transom/bulkheads and (6) sheets of 3/4" honeycomb for deck/cap coring. 100% committed to a wood free boat, and you all better hold me to that.
Currently removing hardware and getting ready to start cutting. I also discovered last night why she feels a slightly heavier than I was expecting, currently has ~100G of something in the fuel tank, tank needs to be pulled so not sure what I'm going to do with that.
