Hey what up guys...my trailer right now is just fine, but is showing its age w/ all of the chips and chit...and on top of that, the boat has no tongue weight!...it just ballances itself when its off of the truck..so what i was thinking is that maybe i could have one of the big trailer makers fab up a trailer exactly like mine, but have the tongue about 3-4ft longer than mine so i can put a nice diamond plate storage box on it just in front of the boat, so it will actually have some tongue weight and tow smoother on the road...has anyone done this? how much would it be? any input would be great. thanx!

sounds like you need to have the axles moved back a couple inches. do you have any pics? cuting and re-welding new spring perches is a pretty simple task and at that time you can have the trailer re-painted.

VERY TRUE! but, i would also think it would be pretty bitchin' to have a diamond plate storage box up front, kinda like a motorcycle trailer or something...i dont have any pics of the trailer unloaded, so it would'nt help much i wouldnt think...

actaully i meant pics of it with the boat loaded. that will give a better referance.
having a box up front (like a PWC trailer) may be a good idea. storage and possibly a spot for spare tire. i suppose i jumped the gun and thought you wanted a cheaper fix. a custom built trailer is not going to be cheap/inexpensive. fix yours for under $500 or buy a custom built one for thousands. id say your probably looking at about $5000 for a custom trailer with box and all.
if you go that route, please post some pics of it. im sure others on here would love to see it aswell.
get it fixed! That was the cause of my eventual tongue failure and accident!
Have the axles moved, build a new trailer, have yours fixed before it is too late.
I am having a trailer made by Baja custom trailers in gardenia. They look like they will work - time will tell.

yeah thats exactly what i was thinking about!...im prolly gonna go that route cuz i dont wanna blow some savings on a 5k+ trailer u know?...thanx alot for the advice...but one more question:...would it be possible to cut the front 5ft off of the trailer and weld new beams on straight instead of a tapering angle to the tongue? that way i could prolly extend the trailer for much much cheaper than a new one altogether...what do u guys think bout that?
Reid
you would be better off extending the rear of the trailer and adding supports to the extended section. then moving the axles back.

nice looking boat and trailer. hard to tell from the pic, but does the transum hang back from the end of the bunks?
