I've recently acquired a 12' semi V for $1 from my mom, it was part of a forclosed home purchase and she had no use for it. I'll be modding the boat and getting it setup to fish for a year or so before I plan to flip it to get into something bigger.
Part of the process was getting a trailer that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg, be reliable, not nickle/dime me to death, and add resale value to the boat as a package. Since I'm not keeping it long term, I didn't want to pay for a new galvanized trailer, and I really didn't want to buy one used and have to buy a new axle, tires, bearings, sand, paint, etc. I'd rather put that time/money into the boat. From the reviews I read on here, I chose to go with the Harbor Freight trailer.
So my question is this...................
I've done a ton of research on this forum looking at peoples bunk setups for their Harbor Freight trailers. But all of the ones I've found are for flat bottom Jon's. I haven't seen anything for a Semi V.
Does anyone have pics, advice, or tips on how they setup the bunks for their Semi V on a Harbor Freight trailer? Any links to specific brackets you used, and where you placed them, and what fasteners.......would be appreciated.
Thanks!!
