boat trailer plans
 

anyone know where i can find free boat trailer plans for download?
thanks

I've done some pretty extensive searching on the web and didn't find
any. Just a lot of smoke screens where they lured you with a free
plans thing and didn't have any.

Glen L has a bunch of plans but they are going to cost you 25 dollars.

I haven't done business with this outfit, but their web page seems to
illustrate the various parts that are available and their technical articles
discuss some things I hadn't thought about.

Jim Michalak has an article on setting up a trailer at

Boats differ so much that one would be hard put to publish a generalized
design. Six foot draft sailboat vs. flat bottomed john boat?

We designed and built our own trailer last year. I have some drawings I did
for it, if you want them. Though my guess is it's unlikely our trailer will
work
for whatever you want. (Ours is for a 22' boat, bunks not rollers, dual
axel)

But, I did a lot of research and thinking about how to make the trailer. And
95% of it I'm very happy with. And we also learned some things I'd do
slightly differently.

If you want to email about it I'd be happy to share experience with you.

Or just post what type of trailer and any questions / thoughts you have
so far and I'll reply here.

(I'm not an expert, but we did a pretty good job)

Gary, that's a nice looking rig.

What do you reckon the boat weighs, ready to trail?

50 horse from a friend, the trailer in your pics looks just about right for
the boat im getting from my friend, any help on designs or how to build
would be appreciated, please send any info to

Boat is a little under 4000 lbs. Probably 3600 or 3700.
With gear and full gas I usually just say 4000 lbs.

--Try asking over at sci.engr.joining.welding and you might get
a few links. Ernie's page is a real treasure trove, too.
