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. On Thu, 28 Apr 2005 01:59:10 GMT, "sly" wrote: anyone know where i can find free boat trailer plans for download? thanks |

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. http://shop.easternmarine.com/index.cfm Jim Michalak has an article on setting up a trailer at http://marina.fortunecity.com/breakw...115/index.html Boats differ so much that one would be hard put to publish a generalized design. Six foot draft sailboat vs. flat bottomed john boat?

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) You can see pics of our trailer he Building Her: http://tinyurl.com/3apc6 First day with boat + pictuers of trailer: http://tinyurl.com/4coae |

Gary, that's a nice looking rig.
What do you reckon the boat weighs, ready to trail? Roger http://home.earthlink.net/~derbyrm "Gary" wrote in message ...
