Yes, I have been doing that for years, but where this tire is located, some one will eventually step from boat to tire, it would roll, and down they would go. It has already happened on one of my airboat trailers. No it was not me.

Thanks for the compliment, my old trailer was fine, I enjoy building things and started looking at race boat trailers in the Sarasota pits this year. That set the bug to build it.
Now if the last axle would arrive, I will transfer the boat over and mount the fenders. Going to build a deck over, blower motor airboat next.

Now for the question you all have:
In round numbers......
I have 1k in axles
1k in brake controller, brakes, winch, and jack
1k in 5 wheel and tires
2 k in aluminum
500 in bunks and stainless bolts
300 in welding supplies
100 in lights
250 in fenders and step mounts
So 6 k in materials. I am now up to 110 hours in it.
Only the fenders left to mount.

ZP,
can you take a photo from the transom facing forward on either port/stbd side?
I'd like to see how the hull-sides clears the trailer wheel wells.
Thanks in advance.
