My first restoration, I was given the boat and trailer as birthday gift from my girlfriend and its perfect for what I want it to be.

I've got a lot of work ahead of me on this guy.

I have a trailer close to like that. That's cool how you did the boards and the rollers defiantly something to consider.
 
Nice and clean! I'm curious as to how the trailer handles on the road. My dad has a boat and trailer just like that just sitting going to waste.
I might have to take that on after I finish my 1648 lowe build $$$
 
Thanks for positve feedback Ive put alot thought into it so far

rscottp, it's actually made by a company called Dexter at least that's what the plate on the trailer says.

Will15120 I've only had it on the road once when I picked it up but it seemed to ride well on the highway. I want to put larger wheels on it though, it only has 10" and I tend to drive alot of highway when I take a boat out. I think a bigger wheel wouldn't have to spin as fast.
 
Cleaned the outside the other night, I used zep a lume to remove the oxidation. Now its ready for some buffing.

Your trailer looks nice. If your going to be towing longer distances or at higher speeds I'd replace the trailing arms with nice straight even ones.
 
Unfortunately not, time and money have set me back. Come spring time I'm going to start again. It drives me nuts not being able to get anything done
