None of the 'before' pictures of ANY of these trailers looks half as bad as some of the stuff people bring for me to weld. :shock:


But then, I am down here on the SC coast, with high humidity, and lots of trailers in salt water.
 

Just picked this up after dragging my boat around for 18 years

First time out with the new trailer. I installed bunks, narrowed the axle and moved the fenders in. I installed a bow roller as well. I like ti. My launch is very shallow so I wanted to get the boat down low so I didn't have to get way into the water with the truck. Now I step out on dry concrete to unload.

I personally like to over build my projects, and my trailers are just as important to me as the rig going on them, I drive at least an hour to the water so I want my drive to be safe and uneventful. This is a trailer that I got off of Craig's List for $200, SCORE!! But I still see great prices on them now and then. I used if for my fishing kayaks and it's perfect, I am searching for the right Tin Boat for a build so I can rig it for river trolling and plan to find another trailer deal on Craig's, cheaper and better than any Harbor Freight trailer.

My first trip this year down an extremely remote forestry road, and this happened...

So now I have this 2200# Karavan...

In the process of taking my ole Kayak trailer, and converting it over to my flat bottom. Flat bottom is a 16 ft. long x 50" flat bottom - pics came out in reverse order ..... took the Yak trailer, notched the 4 x 4's to fit 2 x 6's w/ carpet. Added 1.5" aluminum angle on each side of 4 x 4 to add strength, and a way to mount the bunks from underneath, without disturbing the structure of the 4 x 4's, and to support the notches from each side. Took 3/4 decking and screwed w/ S.S. atop 2 x 6 to give the ridges in the boat a raised platform. Adding the 2 x 6 gave the whole frame, sturdiness and support for the TINBOAT. Carpet will be next.
