[QUOTE="nomowork, post: 243356, member: 6029"] Those are some nasty rust spots. One of my trailers looked similar to that when I bought it. I took a hammer to it and the hammer went right through the frame rails in several places! I think the paint was holding it together. Are you using 2 x 6 for the bunks? I never thought of using wider lumber for more stability. I may try that next time. As far as ideas, search the forum for pictures of trailers. I got some interesting ideas by visiting a local boat shop and eye balling some trailers in their yard. One was a "V" shaped catch near the winch to capture the bow. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
