28 Skater Trailer Build

I built the trailer for my Cigarette, so why not a new one for the 28. Ordered some metal and got started. This is the trailer under it now.

Added the rear bumper / drive guard. Using a Brake Rite EHB so a Heavy Duty 2 5/16 coupler was selected. Thanks for the kind comments.

I'm using a Miller 251 with a 30 A spool gun, and 100% argon. I wonder why I pick the Hot Summer to build this.8-)

Great work, I'd be interested in knowing the cost savings of doing it like this yourself over buying one from a manufacturer

Who's coupler is that. It looks like it could be a bolt on replacement for the surge coupler I now have. Wanting to switch to EHB also.
Nice work on the trailer build.
