[quote=waiex191]So on my lunch break today I walked over and put the H16 on backwards:

No drama, and I still have positive tongue weight. Should I detect any instability on my test run I'll move the axle back one set of holes.
My nifty aft mast support is too short. I'm going to lengthen it, and also redo the front support. I have these objectives for mast support modifications:
1) Make the mast high enough that I can use my pickup to tow the boat. I have a cap on the bed and it is sort of tall.
2) Increase the angle of the mast a little bit, so when I start the step I'm a little higher.
3) Ensure the mast is balanced as I'm sliding it to pin the stepping hinge. It is pretty close to the middle of the mast. I'd like the mast to be balanced that it would rest on the tramp rather than on the car if I let go.
4) Add a couple of guides on the sides of the mast support, so it can't easily fall out of the V or rotate.
Also, the rudders are nicely lined up with the claptrap that is welded/bolted together for the forward mast support. I'm thinking I can make a removable bracket that I can bungee the rudders to for trailering.
