Re: trailer gides thought I would throw this out there
Well I didn't have to make these, their one of the reasons I bought this boat earlier this year is because of the trailer it was sitting on. Having planned on buying a toon for many years I watched then going on and off at the launch over time and noticed that one brand of trailer just didnt have issues. Bear Trailers. Each bracket takes around 44 inches of 2 x 3/8 flat bar steel and the cross brace is welded into place so a 20 foot piece from any steel supply company will work and its been a long time since I have bought any so I cant guess on the price but it isn't bad. the brackets are clamped on the the trailer frame rails and I have those types of clamp made at a local shop 8 clamps ran 30.00 and then two CCA 2 x 4 x 12 and bunk carpet I would estimate 75.00 to100.00 should would cover the costs and that's for all 4. This is of course what's on my trailer and some of the dimensions may need to be changed to fit on others but its a base to start from. I looked at your link and while I don't like to say things about other products those post type rollers just plain do not work well. That type is on a lot of trailers and if their is any wind or your not lined up just right it takes several try's to load and I have heard of logs being dented from them. The full length board types do work as long as the front of the boat is even close, in a good wind I have had the boat off as much as 20 degrees and it still loaded fine , first try. I load and unload by my self, while I often have guests I like them to stay out of the way and the admirals job is to hold my beer
