[PSUBS-MAILIST] Drill Sharpening

Hi Jon,

Now that trailer looks capable of carrying a serious load! I have one small
suggestion. Take a flat bar of aluminum, or a couple of them, say 2x1/4,
and bolt lengthwise along the bottom of all those I beams. I take it they
are all secured only at their tops. It's to prevent them tripping if the
bottom of the trailer comes into contact with something - like a submerged
rock on a launch ramp.

Best,
Alec
