My new boat trailer
Lord Shagg-Pyle:
Yarr,
there be lots of nautical nattering going on on this here thread, shiver me timbers, splice the mainbrace, weigh anchor and keel haul the cabin boy!
I can't see what the attraction is going out all day and coming back smelling of fish! Mind you, I used to work in Great Yarmouth, which had much the same effect! :shock:

Hi Dan
I have had the yamaha for 7 years now worked it hard and serviced it regularily so far so good looks like new and runs like a dream.
A trailer would have cost at least a couple of grand so it was out of the question.
Second hand ones are usually past their sell by date.
I don't need to move the boat for long distances so I'm not fussed about any high speck stuff it's mainly to store her on and get her in and out of the water which is no more that a few miles away.
So long as she runs and stops I can't ask for much more. I will make 2 axles and have 4 indespension units "galvanised ones which are ready to bolt on.
Shes 1.5 ton all up with life rafts etc so the trailer will have a double beam
both runners 4mm thick steel so hopefully things will fit ok.
I'll give you a shout when things get out of hand. :?
