Nice work.
I went ahead and just bought one. The boat fits it like a glove and
it's cradled lower than before, thus lowering the center of gravity. I
like that. It does extend past the frame's rear cross member, and I
don't like, but at least it's not past the bunks. I'll feel better by
bracing it and taking the weight off the transom when it's in storage
though. It trails great with no sway at all on the Interstate.
Doesn't follow as well around corners as the wheelbase is longer, but
good enough. And as I suspected, the tongue weight turned out to be
much more than I care for. Makes the front of my tow vehicle feel
light. The dealer tells me to call the manufacturer on Monday so we'll
see where that goes. I'm guessing they'll drill more holes in the
frame and move the axle forward. Moving the boat aft isn't an option.
It's already to far back imho.
Anyhow, that's my update.
oh! speaking of adjustments, I'm reconfiguring my old trailer as a
general hauler for a skiff. a dory, a small sailboat, and anything
else that may turn up.
I'll be interested in watching your construction progress.
