I just read my post. Didn't try to sound like I was putting your trailer down. It's just that I do a lot of boat trailers for people that are hard to load on. I'm glad that you found one for free.

I didn’t take it that way at all. You are 100% right. The boat sits very high and coupled with a short tongue means I have to back way down the ramp. I really don’t want to spend too much effort on the whole setup as I would really like to save up for a little nicer rig eventually

Add a little strip of red reflective DOT tape about the middle of your guide poles. It sure makes it easy to see at night when backing up. God Bless

Actually my trailer lights came with some reflective tape that I haven't used and I was thinking of doing exactly what you suggested. I guess I just haven't gotten to it yet, primarily because I never load or unload after dark. As of now I don't have the proper navigation lights on my boat to be out after dark.

One thing that really needs to be done to help out more than anything else is to flip the axle on the springs. Take the U bolts loose and put the axle on the top side of the springs. You will get the boat closer to the ground. That one is tremendously hi off the ground. Another thing people have been having me do is replace the carpet bunks on bigger boat trailers with vinal fence post , I rip them in half on the table saw and cover the 2x4 or 2x6 , the boats will slip over the vinal like rollers. On Jon boats I use vinal gutter material over wood or metal. The boat loads and unloads much easier. They don't have that sick if you can't get them in deep enough water.

Nice little trailer. You did exactly what needed to be done and now you just need the rubber v-stop for the front of the boat. I'm not sure how far you plan on towing that boat or what the speeds are in your area, but most trailer tires are only good for 65 mph max. I replaced the tires on my new boat trailer with small car tires rated for 90 mph. I'll never tow it that fast since the interstate speed limit is 80 mph and I plan on going no faster than 75, but It'll be nice to have the extra cushion. Plus they were only $40 per tire and will last for years. What will really be nice is how much shorter the drive to the Missouri River will be. It used to take 4 hours at 65 mph now it will take less than 3.5 hours. When I rewired my trailer I used some of the cheap plastic covered crimps, but I took the plastic covering off before crimping. After crimping the wires together I used a small butane "torch" style lighter to heat the crimp and apply solder for a solid connection. Basically the crimp was just there to hold the wired for soldering. Then I covered each connection in liquid electrical tape and once that started setting up I covered the connection in heat shrink. It's a lot of steps, but I got solid, waterproof connections.

Thanks for the input. This trailer actually has pretty new tires and made it all the way from Florida to Pennsylvania doing 65 most of the way but occasionally pushing 70. Now that its home we mostly go to a nearby lake on backroads where we wont be doing more than 40-45. I soldered my wiring connections as well.

Haha. The wiring really isn’t that bad on a small trailer especially with a kit...it makes it easy. I am hoping the weather holds out for a trip to the lake tomorrow!

Amen, please pray join me I’m low budget and picked up a 12’ sea king aluminum for 200.00 but I’m in need of a trailer and yes, being patient is key. God blessed me with my 12’ boat . I’m 65, I store it upside down in the truck bed. It’s rough sometimes unloading loading it back into the truck. It’s good exercise but I can’t do any boat projects when I have to empty the boat out every time

Inspect and regrease those wheel bearings... how many times have you seen trailers on the side of the highway with either blown out rotted tires or seized bearings. Little time bombs waiting to go off...lol
