So....here we are...pretty much ready to go - just missing the white/ red reflectors - (in process of getting boat trailer rego too)

Discovered some rust at the base of the hitch so cut off the old one, made up a gal sleeve for reinforcement and put on a new hitch.

Love the paint job :thumbsup: Looks mint. Any reason why you mounted the yak so high on the trailer?
