That should work just fine. They sell tiller extentions at our walmart here in the south but you could deffinatly make your own and save some money. How does the remote throttle and shifting work? I have a 1974 9.9 Johnson.

I read BassBoy1's trailer tips article that was posted at the top of the trailers thred and still have some questions. It seems like most trailers have pretty short bunks and a perpendicular bunk toward the front, will that work? I looked at BassBlaster's trailer project and that is almost...

Hey guys, I am in the process of converting a trailer for my jon boat and will probaby need some help as I go. I am planning to do this pretty quick and I will be taking some pictures along the way that will hopefully help others as they take on similar projects. I am really bad about just...
