Canoe Trailer - My Last Update?

Oh man, I'm so close to finishing my custom canoe trailer, I just had to pull things out to get a few pictures of how it's all going to work out.

So here's the trailer in its entirety.  The cargo box is painted.  The crossbars are mounted.  The canoe saddles are on.  The only thing missing are my little fenders (that are on the bench at the moment).

I took the canoes out of the barn and loaded them up on the trailer to see how it all fits.  It worked out just as I envisioned. 

This is a little better picture where you can see the dimensions of things.  The cargo box is 8 feet long, and since my longest canoe is just over 18 feet, that leaves 5 feet hanging off the front, and 5 feet hanging off the back.

I can easily access the front and the rear doors of the cargo box.  You can also see my awesome LED tail lights and my little button license plate lights. 

I haven't pulled it down the road yet, but it's fully legal and ready to go.  I'm excited to plan a big canoe camping trip in a land far away.  But since school starts in a week, that adventure will have to wait until next summer.

I think I'll reclassify this project as finished (since I am just that close, you know).  This is highly unusual for me.  I know I have difficulties finishing projects, but I feel good about this useful one.  I can cross it off my list!
