Yes on the weatherstrip. The trailer is a loaner- Hopefully we'll get her her very own trailer in next year's budget. She will live on a lift at home. Hopefully, she will go everywhere on her own bottom.

Stunning.......I like the middle wheel - I do like the power knob on the right - but the shine would match the rest with the middle - any choice you have made so far has been dead-on perfect so no reason to think this choice won't be perfect as well.

Definitely the destroyer wheel.

That middle one will drive you nuts because it will never be straight while underway, other 1 isnt polished finish.

I agree that the middle wheel will be a pain to keep straight. I like the destroyer.

Looks better and better.

I like a power knob too. Edson makes a nice stainless wheel with a knob that would really look great... you can see it here.


Here it is... scroll down and find the ComfortGrip Stainless Power Wheel... the PDF on the site gives you a better picture than mine. I have the 13" Stainless power wheel in the PDF. I likey...

Polished Edson with power knob. I am a believer in Edson after taking a destroyer wheel off and replacing with the Edson. The tubular destroyer weighed nothing compared to the solid stainless on the Edson.

OUCH.....I cut the tip off one of my fingers like that. That area will be sensitive you the rest of your life. To this day (17 years later) it hurts if I bang the tip of that finger on anything.

The boat is looking great, I vote for the 3 spoke wheel on the right.

I agree with KAF the middle one would drive me nuts because it would remain straight. I really like the one on right but in chrome like Megabytes.

I cut the end off just like that once while wall papering with my wife. She fainted and fell on the floor. I threw a paper towel around the finger so it wouldn't bleed on the wallpaper, finished brushing out the sheet, then went and picked up my wife off the floor and got her some fresh air. We still joke around about it
