I was originally going to modify my Dad's Harbor Freight 4x8 flatbed trailer to carry my 12' SeaKing V-Boat but I was looking at the '85 Mazda RX-7 rear axle I had picked up for the limited slip differential to put in my truck :twisted: I measured it. 53" from one end of the axle tubes to the other, not the ends of the axles, I then measured the widest part of the boat, 53" on top and 42" on bottom, thought to myself, "This might Work". So I took a trip down to the metal recycle and found they had a nice big pile of 2.5"x1.5" square steel tubing 20 feet long for $20 each and I well use some heavier 2x2 box for the tongue. I figure if I can find a cheap set of wheels and tires I can make the thing for less then $150 and it well be fit to my boat.
Does this sound like a reasonable idea, I have a welder and chop saw, angle grinder ect. so tools are no problem. Here is a photo of the axle.
