    Trailer too short? Lowe 1448T with Tilller

    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...

    Trailer too short? Lowe 1448T with Tilller

    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...

    New to me boat purchase LOWE Big Jon 1448T

    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!

    8" vs. 12" trailer tires

    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.

    New User HELLO!

    Wow $160 for PA Red Tape! I did receive the title today. Could have been a crazy craigslist story.... I traded a gun, and legally transferred the boat, what if the trailer was stolen? I would have made headlines for sure. 1960's M1 30 carbine for stolen property!
