NEED A TRAILER!!

reel_dedicated · 09-29-2008, 07:27 PM

I have been working on a lil duck/marsh skiff and i just don't think the trailer it came on is going to cut it (no offense gomet) the boat is looking sharp and i have done a complete 180 on the looks of it and will post pictures when it is complete. but i need a 14' trailer... doesn't have to be anything fancy, just something that will get me there and back with out worries of the wheels falling off :doh

are the hubs/axles loose or something?? you could buy new hubs for a decent price and rebuild the trailer.. it did'nt look all that bad in gomets pics..

extreme wobble in the passager side tire... thought i could replace the hubs also, but it looked like the axle has been cut in the middle and then welded back and it seems to be out of line ( i don't think gomet had anything to do with this, and i don't hold anything against him anyway because i really just wanted that hull any way)

bought a new hub kit and still same out of linement... no loss tho.. Im completly happy with the hull and its looking sharp... just wish i cold get a deal on a used trailer somewhere around $200 bucks... i can buy a brand new one at academy for a lil over $500... but im trying to keep my lil project boat as cheap as possible so the wife unit can't bitch about me spending my extra side cash (she doesn't like metapping intoher shoppin money too much :nonono)

ahah I hear that... I bought a brand new axle online about 6-8 months ago for 150 bucks and I think that was shipped too.. I dont remember where I got it from though.. It came quick also... I did alot of searching..

Sorry man, I didn't touch anything on that trailer or boat... Just sold it as is, cuz i didnt want to fool with it

like i said man IM COMPLETLY HAPPY WITH THE HULL!!! no biggy on the trailer... hey it got it home and thats all that matters lol.. i will come up with a trailer before duck season no worries...

If any one knows where i can get an axle with hubs for around 150 bones that would be an option also!

We have a small boat trailer that didn't sell at the community yard sale last Saturday. If you're interested, shoot me a PM.
