Trailer Question - spec and set up needed
Five Boat, or anyone else,
Worked on my trailer all day - not fun. Just wanted to confirm a few things for a float-on trailer:
FYI: Rocket Trailers of Fla, is no more ( at least trailers made prior to 1994 )
The centerline of the bunks are what ? on a 23' SeaCraft ?
Otto stated... " bunks are on 51" centers...could probably be as little as 46", but no more than 53". The 4"w x 6"h bunks are 6" above the I-beams on the outside. They taper slightly inward to follow the contour of the hull so the entire 4" is touching hull".
This makes sense, but I want to make sure.
Anyone have pictures of their trailer set up and exactly where the bunks sit on the hull ? Otto ?
Also, what do you use on the top of the bunks to allow the trailer to slide on ?
Where is the definitive place to buy trailer frame material - I need an 8' pc of 2x4 galvanized "box tube" to replace my trailer tongue
And, what special prep is needed when welding a galvanized trailer ?
Thx. Season here on Long Island will be winding down soon - 2-3 more weeks. It's getting as cold as a "witches tit "
