As before, I drilled a 3/8 hole and I will use the same formula of grade 5 3/8 bolts, lock washer and loctite. [links]

I painted the tongue with some bedliner spray paint.

Next up is to center the new tongue on the frame, clamp it and drill the new holes. here

Anyways, I needed a way to transport it to the water and back and boat trailers were way too expensive. I also can't find anything decent used for under 300$

[psbagumba]

So bunk brackets at the local store cost 19$ each. That's 80$ for 4!! Forget that.. I'll make some out of some scrap metal.

There were 4 bolts holding the old tongue onto the frame. I removed those pretty easily and mocked up the new tongue. here

This is a bit ambitious, looks a bit on the top heavy side to me, but it shows a more extreme version of what you can do.

Occasionally, they have a galvanized PWC trailer - the advantage is that it is galvanized, so if you dip your trailer in salt water often, the trailer frame won't take as much abuse. I ordered one, and it literally took 6 months to arrive! When it finally did, I put it together with a deck & several cross beams below the deck for support, and replaced the tongue. here

This is the mini trailer kit, it is dirt cheap at between $170 and $200 depending on if you catch it on sale. The tongue that comes with it is ridiculously small, so I purchased a long piece of square tube steel as a replacement tongue. Since everything was bolt on, it was easy for me to make this change. I made a very simple set of bunk boards that bolted on top of the frame bed, and tried using it without a winch post. I made a winch post from some 2x4 and plywood. The only thing I didn't like about the trailer was one day when I was backing it down the boat ramp empty, it caught on a piling to the side of the ramp and the whole frame twisted sideways. Wasn't really a problem to fix, I just kicked it a few times and it was pretty much back to normal. [links]

I have a number of small boats, but the one that sits on the trailer the most is my PDRacer. here

Also I installed a set of fence post stakes along the perimeter and made the surrounding gate so that I could carry gravel, dirt and other messy stuff. That was a lot of work, and on a later trailer I just made a plywood box that sits on top of the trailer - see the top of this page. The simple box works better.

Lay the sides along the braces and screw them to the forms with one screw per brace. These will be removed when the entire frame is together so don't overdo the attachments. here

Use fiberglass tape to cover all seams and joints. For extra long life and better looks, apply fiberglass mat and use paint or spray fiberglass resin on the entire hull. [links]

How to build a boat trailer out of wood scrap wood projects i have truly enjoyed the scrape wood challenge videos that were published today. how to build a boat. Making a boat trailer for a small boat is a simple and easy building project.. External trailers make it easier to get to any boat at the stern side of the trailer would have supports sticking out that would accept building a trailer. more
