Utility Trailer Conversion: Broke Down Boat Trailer Reborn

A friend gave me an old boat trailer that hadn't been used in many years. Wanting a smaller trailer to haul stuff around when my 20' tandem is too big is something I have been looking for this past year. This was a perfect platform to use some of my sawmill lumber to do a utility trailer conversion. I don't have a welder (yet!!) so I had to figure out how to do this without any welding. Overall it came out pretty good and should be very handy to have around the farm!

Great build, I’m slowly converting a smaller boat trailer to a utility probably about a 5’x 8’ haven’t measured yet. Have to cut the 3x3 metal square tubing shorter where the front is. Lol when I hook it up it goes so fare back way to long. Was probably for a long light boat. I wish I would have watched your video first though. I like that you went out past the wheels to give a bit extra space. I’m working on a budget build for it so it’s taking a while with the cost of wood. Keep up the great work

Looks good! 👍 I'm in the planning stages to do the same with my old trailer. My hope is to use the metal C frame of the trailer to put a bunch of 2x stringers across. Then, run my deck lengthwise. If that doesn't work, then I'm definitely going with your design.

nice! I wasn't sure how I'd attach 2X stringers to the metal frame so I went with this design. Made it up as I went along but it worked out pretty good! I've been using it quite a bit hauling lumber, etc.

I have the same tractor, that’s why I followed you. I like your videos and how you edit/ narrate them. Don’t take this the wrong way, (just a little constructive criticism) I think your wide angle is too wide. The fish eye throws it off for me. Glad I found the channel, can’t wait to see more tractor videos!

Hey thanks so much for the feedback! It is appreciated. Thus far I am filming with my GoPro. I've been toying with getting a land based video camera for stuff around the farm. Wide angle setting on the GoPro does add a fish eye effect...I may plat with the settings in the meantime. Thanks though and thanks for watching!!
