The side steps on my boat trailer need replacing (fore and aft of each fender). I was considering replacing them with aluminum diamond plate. It only needs to span about an 8-9 inch gap between underlying support rails. I realize it will flex some, but would 1/8 inch thick be strong enough ? Does anyone know where to find some "leftovers" that might be had inexpensively ? I'd need 2 pieces at 9"x34" and 2 at 9"x26". thanks...
I have a few days off so hopefully fish 4 days in a row from sunrise to sunset. Likely two or three lakes a day depending on the bite. I won't fish any well known opener lakes until the weekday.
I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:
JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th
Brianf. – March 28th
Bobberwatcher – April….
MikeG3Boat – April 10th
SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st
Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.
