[QUOTE="ATW, post: 411524, member: 12477"] First thing I did was get the trailer up to snuff since it was a hairy first drive home-- flat tires and rotten hubs. The trailer needed paint, wiring, wheels, --pretty much everything. I lost a TON of build pictures when I switched phones so bear with me. I took the boat off the trailer and sanded the trailer down to bare metal. I primed it, and coated in a black bedliner. Sand blasted and painted all the roller brackets. The tongue on the trailer is extra wide for walking down. It had a 1 7/8 ball so I replaced with a new 2" coupler and redid the wiring. Added LED tail lights and side lights. Bought new 5 bolt hubs and a found some new rims and tires on Craigslist for cheap. Redid the bow stop, added a new winch and safety chain and a spare tire holder. Only need to add the home-made guide on using a ladder stabilizer and PVC pipe (thanks, TinBoats!) Trailer is a now a million bucks!
