[QUOTE="BassFishVA, post: 375846, member: 15628"] Ya it was in very good shape surprisingly. Mainly all of the rust was surface rust and the axle and springs were still solid. After looking at the trailer and thinking about the tongue weight I have actually decided to extend the tongue and add another portion to the back of the trailer. I am going to use rectangle steel tube for the tongue extension and then get C-channel steel to make an additional box frame on the back of the trailer. This should allow for plenty of support for the transom and reduce the tongue weight issue. I really like the flooring you did on your boat. Did you place anything under the boards or did you just mount them to some type of frame? Do you have any issues with water collecting underneath or problems when you drop something it going in between the cracks? [/QUOTE]
