[QUOTE=BDiggity;4476010]do you know what the ground clearance is using the 0 deg when fully loaded? i am buying dexter's & was told -22.5 deg for same ride height as leafs, but we think we can go to a -10 or even 0 deg & still have good clearance.[/QUOT

A lot depends on how much the cross members are dropped, or V eed. To match the boat bottom. A Myco does not put much V in the crossmember, and they run a -10 degree axle. I put a little more V, and ran a 0 degree. Clearance is 16" with full fuel.. Again I just duplicated the last ciggie trailer from 9 years ago. This is the old trailer, notice the drive guard was added a few years after the trailer was built. I added it when I put the #6 drys on

I used southern yellow pine for the bunks, and tried out the plastic bunk wrap. Yes I know it may rot in 5 years, but it has no chemicals to eat the aluminum, and will dry much faster with out the carpet holding water for days. Just do not disconnect the winch from the bow before backing down the ramp I was told:|
Here it is out for the first time, I wanted the boat on it before building the tailgate.

Here is the Gun that never had a trailer, on its new (my old) ride. The bravos leave a little more room inside the drive guard than the 6 drives

Well the swap went well, the cig fit perfect, and the bunks are very easy to power up, use caution to avoid hitting to hard.

As you can see, the hinges, pins, latch mech. Are all home made stuff, I frenched in the tag to add envy for Lock & Load.
I used 400 tie wraps.....
Safety cone mount, and spare tire lock

that's very nice! I'm currently selling my steel trailer to get an aluminum one. Less maintenance and less weight!

Well done! I love the frenched-in plate! The only thing I would do because I know I'd tear myself open on it, is radius the corners of the shelf to hold your drive guard tailgate up when you have it pinned open.
