Not another project

tsharp · Apr 18, 2017

Well it didn't take long, I started a new project this afternoon a trailer for a 16' flat boat. I used some square galv. tubing I had laying around the shop. Next I will bring the tongue home tomorrow and will have to buy the clips that hold the leaf springs.

Homebuilt trailer tag being applied for

tsharp · Apr 23, 2017

I added the tongue and made the brackets for the axle. I need to finish the welding and purchase 2 tires and rims. T, I picked up a 16' Southfork flat boat for a good prices. That is the reason building the trailer. Next finding or rebuilding a motor for the boat.

I finished the welding this afternoon. I also applied 2 coats of RC99 to the brackets, leaf springs and axle. I place it on top of the trailer to measure for the U bolts. Still need to order my tires and rims.

Any time Big7, we been catching bass lately. We caught 26 Saturday my 3 grandkids and myself. Shrimp season right around the corner. Frames are on the boat just have to put nets on.

Shaping up nicely ! Where can that RC 99 be purchased ? I have searched but come up with nothing. Does it possibly go by another name?

tsharp · Apr 25, 2017

Killswitch how much do you need? PM your address I'll send you quart. It goes a long way.

I did a good bit of work this afternoon on my trailer. My tires and rims came in, but the weather was so bad the last couple of days. Today I welded the brackets holding the fenders and bolted them down. I applied 2 coats of RC-99, I'll prime them later when I finish the welding. I will put the trailer on hold because SHRIMP SEASON OPEN MONDAY!!!!!!!! :yeah:

Is that the motor in the background? Trailor is shaping up nicely.

Thanks Pop Pop jones. I been having that mariner for 5 years sitting there. My son cleaned the carb and removed the controls and installed a tiller handle now it runs when IT wants to. Must have a wire or something not correct. I would say pulling my hair but I don't have much left.

It's been a while I have been busy at work lately. But today I finished the bunkers, installed them to the trailer frame. I may put the joe boat on it so I can place the winch bracket and the hitch.

killswitch · May 21, 2017

Nice work T !!

tsharp · May 24, 2017

Today I put the joe boat on the trailer. I used a come-a-long and a chain. Not as young as I used too. But after a few minutes I had it on the trailer. I then place the console just for looks to see the proper placement. I going to think about it before I decide.

Well it's been a while but I'm still here! I have been busy with work. But I did finish, well almost finish the trailer and boat. I sanded down the whole boat the inside and out 2 coats of primer and 2 top coats. I primed the trailer, installed the trailer lights. I installed the flooring in the rear section and did put carpet on it. I still need to carpet the front section but the paint was not dry. Well what do you guys think of my new project?

killswitch · Jul 2, 2017

That last picture is what it's all about ! Watch out T, looks like he might be staking claim to it already.

killswitch · Jul 2, 2017

Good looking rig also ! What kind power you hanging on it?

tsharp · Jul 2, 2017

Killswitch he already laid claimed to it. I was think about a 40 Mercury but not sure yet.
