    we can do my fave... put a fat jocky wheel on the front and make a winch block for the head of the trailer... add a 40 foot winch cable to a hand winch and I'll bet you can float the boat off without even getting the cars wheels wet...
    Dave, sounds like a great idea mate - get what you want. I'll have to plan the big trip up for a week or so and come see you. I'm sure I can find a bit of dirt to play in while it's being built ! I'll give you a hoy when I have the cash and time. Thanks again, Gav

    you realise that im in albury wodonga at the moment and dont get posted till febuary.. then I'll need a bit to get on the ground get the workshop squared and then find a decent steel supplier...

    ID be intending to reuse much of your existing trailer (boat mounts, springs, hitch, sail boxes and the like....

    First off tho pics of your existing setup w/wout the boat would be helpful and since its a build from scratch jobbie if theres anything you want relocated now would be the time to think about it.

    If you've benefited from one or more of my posts please remember, your taxes paid for my skill sets, I'm just trying to make sure you get your monies worth.
    If you think you're in front on the deal, pay it forwards.

    Understoof Dave - cheers. Will probably be in a couple months at earliest. Existing trailer is not too bad, just needs beefing up. Will send photos etc once I'm getting closer to starting the process. Looking forward to it ! Gav

    Bring that trailer with you, we may be able to simply dummy up a sub frame for it that will do what you want and reuse 90% of the existing trailer.
