Hello all,
This is my first post. I am from central MN. and have a 1973 sears 12ft. aluminum boat that has been sitting around for 25r years now. I finally decided to get her back in the water. it was used as a duck boat when I was a kid. Now I want to fish out of it. just got it registered today. now I need a trailer to get her to the lake! I am very interested in the Ironton Personal Watercraft and Boat Trailer sold by Northern Tool, https://www.northerntool.com/shop/t...VQogIbsNfmv1mg1le9i7XdAcjSgjmrWrQ0aAn1A8P8HAQ I talked to their "Trailer and Towing expert" and was told it would be fine for a 12' aluminum boat. The total length of the trailer is only 126.75" meaning that I would have 2 feet hanging off the end. could I build longer bunks? I plan to put a 9.9hp motor on it someday, so I wonder about towing it with the motor. I could also extend the tongue, but I would rather not hack a new trailer.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
