[QUOTE="Y_J, post: 367239, member: 14258"] OK. Finally got some pics of the trailer. I'm definitely going to need some input from ya'll on just how to make this work with my 12' semi v boat. I took off the original bunks and brackets then tried to pressure wash the paint off. Didn't work like I had hoped it would. The trailer is steel, galvanised I think. So I'm kind of afraid to take the cup brush to it to loose the paint. And at this point I'm out of $$ until November. I do have a can of paint thinner but haven't tried that on it yet. Here are a few pics to give ya'll an idea of what I'm up against. Start at the bottom of the photos :roll: I considered having the bunks go 2 1/2' behind the trailer body but once the motor and other aft weight is there, I worry about the 2x4s holding up.. Other options is to just add the 3' to the tongue and maybe a couple rollers along the tongue. I figure I need at least a couple feet forward of the winch post to the hitch so I'm not hitting up against the back of my truck. Anyone with thoughts or ideas how to go about this, I am all eyes/ears and would appreciate any and all input. Also considering using SS bolts rather than welding. Thoughts on that also, please. BTW, from the back cross bar to the tip of the hitch is 10' [/QUOTE]
