Putting a new winch stand on the Jaunty project trailer.

The original stand on the used trailer I bought was too short for Jaunty's high bow. This one is sweeter, will have a large area carpeted bow stop kind of like on pontoon boats. Downside is I have to buy a new, much larger winch. Oh well, make it easier on a gimpy older gentleman.

When I was working on it today..in the SUN..I had my one year old grandson helping me. He was able to ratchet all by himself about three times. Before and after that he held the ratchet as I worked it. Get him started on boats and tools early.
