[QUOTE="CLM, post: 313106, member: 8708"] The trailer had come off of the PO previous boat and had made several trips to Key West. He had modified it and built a rack that would load it into the back of his truck so they could still hook onto the camper. The rear cross members and rear frame rails had rust holes so I built a new section. [img]https://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t619/texfx4/rearframe_zps164a6bc2.jpg[/img] Once I had cut the old frame in half I realized how bad the front was too and decided to start over. I joined the two halves using fish plates. [img]https://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t619/texfx4/fish_plates_zpsef9b11e0.jpg[/img] Ended up using the axle, springs (which were new), jack and rear guides from the original trailer. I helped my boss rebuild his trailer and got an extra set of roller bunks from him, so those are on here. Everything else is new, including Led lights, center rollers, winch, etc. Here you can see the boat and trailer at that point.
