#4595, "Trailer question"


          

I see by looking through the photos that some gut have there pontoons on a trailer. I was wondering if these were purchasde of if they are home made. I am thinking of getting one myself and wanted some suggestions. You know make model or maybe the design to build one. I would like to just buy one as I can use it around the house for hauling and what not. Please let me know.

My wife bought my trailer from Harbor Freight in Sacramento. They have a couple small trailer designs that work perfectly for pontoon boats. Originally I needed it while I was recovering from cancer treatments. By the time I was done loading my boat, motor, battery and gear into and off of my truck I was too darn tired to fish. I'm much healthier now, but once I started using the trailer there was no going back. My wife got me the 4 by 8 version and it was less than $300 out the door. I found another smaller version at Harbor for around $170 and got it for my fishing partner. Even though I have 10 ft. pontoons on my Outcast, I think if I had it to do over again I would get the smaller one because it's lighter and easier to move around when it's not hitched up. For what it's worth both of the models I'm refering to can be folded in half and stored almost flat (the width of the tires) against your garage wall when not in use. I leave mine loaded all the time, but if I ever do need to store it that feature will come in handy.
Hope that helps.

Thanx that helps a lot. I live real close to a harbor freight. I am going to look into it.
