Hahahaha Anyone in NEPA looking for a perfect trailer for a 12ft V or 1236? Title, new bunks, and new bearing burners!

Stress cracks are starting on the top and bottom flanges of the C-Channel, one on each side. I attribute that abuse to the horrible roads in Pennsylvania. Lights self destruct when towed on some of the routes. Shredded the 7 way wire on my camper on a majorly screwed up road with 45mph...

I'm from East Stroudsburg, married a girl from Palmerton, and currently getting divorced. Yeehaw more fishing time! My Lowe 1448T is setup for lake fishing. i need to setup a basic wiring bus for Nav lights and bilge pump. I fish electric at Promised Land Lower Lake, and Hidden Lake in the...

Rear of boat has 85ah AGM, 6 gallons of fuel, 25xd, and 55lb thrust minn kota.

Hi here is a side profile of the setup of the entire package and tow vehicle. The 6ft bunk boards extend all the way to the transom. The axle is near the rear 1/3 of the boat. The 8" bearing burners are load rage C and title and placards have at at 3000lb gvw. A Lowe 1448T is light as...

The trailer does not have a center cross member. I highly doubt the boat even compresses the leaf springs. I ratchet strapped the single arm bunk arms to each other. They are cranked tightly together, previously they would just rotate around the C-channel when hit while retreival, or if you...

I have a galvanized boat trailer i modified lightly to stabilize my Lowe 1448T . The trailer has a gvw of 3000lbs 8"tires, new 6' bunk boards, and single arm guide-on bunks. My main concern is DOT approved lighting or not. The axle and lights are 3' plus from the rear of the outboard...

i need to go hd and visuallize some mods. I not too sure about what to do onthe factory front deck of my 1448T Big Jon.

I have been waiting 4 weeks for kenda load range (C) tires, I gave up and had e-trailer send me load range (B) 8" galvanized rims and tires. I must have been the only customer Globally that needed 8" galvanized rims in load range (C). Kenda promised manufacturing them and then pushed it back...

Hi, I am trying to rig up my new to me 1448T Big Jon. I purchase 4 seats, 3 Wise plastic folding seats, and 3 Springfield swivel clamp ons. The 4th seat is intended to be mounted on the front deck. The 3 swivels are going on the middle bench and rear big bench. The swivels are actually...

I tried the 12" ebay deal out. fenders were too small, and had to send them back (at $40 shipping). costly beta test

i just bought a jon with the 25xd. What prop does it use? The current prop looks river busted up.

The 1436 deal was 0 money out. I traded a M1 30 Carbine for it. I figure I can recoup $1,250 out of the packaged deal. Motor alone is worth $500 to $1000, scrap 1436 $350, 38 year old titled in PA trailer: Priceless. Paperwork alone on a trailer is worth $400, if it rolls: Bonus!

Hi I am onto my next tin boat. First was a 40 year old Lowe 1436, 15hp tiller, TM, and titled trailer for $750. I could not pass up on a roadside 1448T! The 2004 Lowe Big Jon with 20" transom, 2 rows of seats, center live well, and large front deck is now in my driveway. It came with a...

I found 5.30 x 12 galv on ebay as a kenda tire and rim combo. Allegedly advertised as 2.81 inner diameter. I ordered 2 w/free shipping. Hopefully they line up. I had ordered 2 through etrailer but they had to be custom manufactured w/3 week backorder. Fail.
