Default Trailer redo

Well besides some finishing touches I`m finally done.

Trailer started needing some TLC



only pic I got on the trailer lol:




Sandblasted, 2 part epoxy primer and paint to match boat:
All carpeted wood filler pieces replaced with heavy gauge diamond plate






Also added my version of a drive guard plus all new tires








All new electric brakes, seals and bearings.
Pulled every wire and ran all new thru out.
Every connection is soldered + dialectic grease + 2 layers of heat shrink. (this took the longest to do)
Every bolts and negative connection is stainless steel.





LOVE this thing!

All new bunks and carpet:









Finally I went crazy with the LEDS:











under the trailer too following the red/white theme.




Side turn signal under the marker lights.



I should be able to see the bottom of any launch I`m hoping

Looks great!

I'm getting ready to do the same to mine...two questions:

What did you do with the brake lines prior to sandblasting?

Did you have the boat pulled off or did you have access to another trailer?

No brake lines, Electric. Grand Sports Center was great and let me borrow their boat jacks:




She don`t quite fit thou :




Wish I had a nice big pole barn like Mike Tcat but ....I don`t

so I red neck it up





BTW, anyone local to Chicagoland area looking for paint, sandblast etc.. the guy I found did a great job at a great price.
To sandblast, prime and paint was under $1000. He also ran new wires, cut and fit the diamond plate and built the drive guard . All that around $1800.
Can`t beat that, I had another quote for just paint at $5K
