Hi all, I was on the verge of dropping the hammer on a Kitty Hawk trailer purchase when the following made me pause...
As the pics show, there's damage to the bow, resulting in a fix using a lot of fill-in in the underlip part of the gunwale. This doesn't leave much gunwale for the bow portion of the Kitty Hawk's 3-part support doodad to do it's thing, to put it in noobie non-tech lingo. The pic that shows the bow handle (and my foot) is only to show that there's almost a haf-inch of gunwale just 3 inches from the bow tip, whereas what's at the very front is practically nil.
Hopefully, the pics are worth the proverbial thousand words, and y'all can advise me on a course of action, starting with if this would be a costly fix (and needing a lot of skill) to make this workable for the Kitty Hawk, or if I should just get a trailer with bunks.
I welcome any questions that would help shed more light on the situation.
Thanks all.
