PA trailer made from an old canoe trailer

Found an old canoe trailer 3" X 3" main tongue for $280 on craigslist. Removed old brackets and bolted down 2X3 galvanized bars. Added PA cradles from fastlane and made an instant heavy duty PA dragster trailer. I can tow it behind a toy Matrix at 35 mpg w/ no bounce or worry. I use a $59 trailer dolly to take it from the street and park it behind 2 gates and protect it with 3 dogs....hahaha...

Trailer

Here are a few pics of my trailer...I just had the tongue extended and it really makes the ride and the loading a lot better. The first two pics are before the tongue extension...
It was an old motorcycle trailer that i bought for $150 and I added the speed rail rack....I use a lot of this aluminum pipe and fittings in the film biz.











Good Luck

I recently bought a 9' Boston Whaler and it is a PITA to load and unload from my truck bed. I want to buy an old jet ski trailer for it, but am concerned since the boat only weights a couple hundred pounds with the outboard I am going to have issues.
no issues bouncing on the highway. although my trailer does weigh a bit empty, since its for a 16ft boat. the only time it bounces is going slow through some parts of base and hitting pot holes. other than that, it tracks great and i dont even notice it back there untill people start trying to merge on the freeway and i have to get around them so they dont drive into it... crazy drivers.
