Well the Trailer showed up at my friends shop last Friday morning. With all the dirt in it we had to use his 10k forklift. We picked up and set it on to my trailer and now the fun begins. This morning myself and one of my guys started shoveling all the dirt and trash out of the bottom. We came across one critter that climbed in and never made it out all that was left was a skull and teeth. The way the trailer was designed was the bow, double floor and a small area aft were set up as flotation tanks in case of rolling it over in the surf. Most of the floor is shot and I am cutting it out to get the rest of the dirt out to get the trailer preserved. After studying it I will probably replace the whole bottom, inner frame and the sides to the rub rail with new steel. Everything is fairly basic as far as shape and structure. I also found someone with one that is original and unrestored about 3 hours from me so I can make templates and drawings for the parts I am missing which is nice. The owner of that one claimed that there is only 11 of these trailers in existence. I will post pictures of the project as I progress.
