Posts: 4,118 Northfield Mn | They just scrub. I bet there was more than 50k miles on the original tires, so if there is increased wear because of it, is not apparent. I swapped them out last year and the trailer had been to Florida at least seven times, plus all the trips everywhere else it's been. It's been an awesome trailer. I've never touched the bearings or seals. There is a grease zerk at the end of the spindle, I just pop the dust cap, and pump grease in until new stuff comes out.
I'm boatless.

Posts: 4,118 Northfield Mn | Karl, you're not saying that you paid $2500 on top of the $1500 for the mods, are you?
Ronald, Karl doesn't have time to slow down enough to make turns...
Mike I think I paid about $2500 for the rack. Plus another $3-400 in material for the box. There's probably at least another $100 in paint on the trailer deck. Then the original purchase price of $1500+tax, which was about $1700 total. So a grand total of about $4500. Give or take.
I'm boatless.

Posts: 4,118 Northfield Mn | It was more than I had planned cost wise for the rack. But hauling three boats instead of one 3k miles round trip many many times, it's probably paid for itself. I didn't complain, the fab work was top notch and it is way over built. I do wish I would've made it a few inches shorter. There's a good six inches of clearance from the top of an F18 hull to the bottom of the rack. That few inches would mean being able to get it in through a 10' overhead door.
I'm boatless.

Posts: 4,118 Northfield Mn | Not a great plan.... The '"feet" on are a plate about 8" long, 5" wide, and have a fancy gusset on them. Otherwise, yeah. Whack it down.
BTW- A cordless portaband? That's got dead battery frustration written all over it.

Unregistered | Trailex 12" are $350 and utilize a t-bolt that makes them pretty useless on any other type trailer | | | Re: Need a source for trailer double roller
