The deal I had on a boat trailer for my boat project fell through, so I'm out searching again. It doesn't have to be a boat trailer. Any junk trailer with a 1,500 pound axle would work. The wider the better! Anybody want to make a deal?

Couldnt' you you and Steve just toss it in the back of your truck?

Mark S

I was all for it! But Steve wimped out...

Anybody that's willing to help "toss" into the back of the truck is welcome to be on "Team Carpender's".

So what do you think it weighs?

What kind of price are looking for in a trailer?

"Pssst. Hey kid, you wanna buy a watch?"

...but seriously Mark, I've got some buddies work I can ask. They ride cycles and snowmobiles a lot, and one of them may have a trailer they are willing to part with. I'll let you know.

Mark, are you sure you don't mean a 3500# axle? I have a 3500 under my boat and wonder if it's enough sometimes. Your boat will be way bigger.

Mark S

I suppose a 1500 lb. axle would be pushing it a little. The boat is supposed to weigh around 600 lbs., but with an outboard, generator, and the weight of the trailer itself I guess that starts adding up!

And don't forget Mark, we may need to haul our own fish in there too. You may need a bobcat-trailer, or something along those lines. 5500 pound axel is what I would get. That might be strong enough.

Good news! I found a trailer. And a trolling motor. Now I just need a boat!
