[QUOTE="riverbronzeback, post: 52982, member: 688"] Yeah, havent really done much to the trailer. Was used for my older v bottom. Will start work on the trailer this winter. Thanks for the tips. New i needed to do something but wasnt really sure. Still need to wire it up for lights and get a trolling motor. Old one quit on me. All costs $$$ which i dont have. Bought the boat for 250 and had the trailer. Did the conversion as cheap as i could and be fuctional for me. I used osb(i know its a no no but sealed the crap out of it) framing out of 2X3 and carpet is waterproof backed cut pile commercial carpet(free). Removed middle seat for more walking room and so my 5year old son could go from front to back without having to step over a seat. I use a small lawn and garden battery for fishfinder and bilge pump(very light and lasts a long time) will add trolling battery when i replace trolling motor. Its not perfect but works well for me. Seems to be pretty stable and the 18hp johnson moves it real well. I grew up in v bottoms and this is my first jon. Thanks for the comments. Its great to be part of these forums cause ive been reading for months. [/QUOTE]
