That's got to be the most over-built piece of art PWC trailer I've ever seen. That's beautiful! And the center tie-down points for the rear of the PWC is a very nice touch.

Would not think the MBz will have any trouble stopping it. Probably have bigger brakes on it than most half ton pickups.

Did you put brakes on it for GL? Mine was torsion single, they are very nice. Two torsions, must be very, very, nice. I did not like the rear tie down on mine, because it put stress on the knee bar. I modified mine for side tie down. Kinda miss the Seadoo's now and again.

Thanks! :D They say.....go big or go home! :) I'll post pics when it's done, but it will have 4x gas bottle carrier, rear 2" receiver (for BBQ or bike rack), the rear will have that diamond plate platform too.....wasn't on yet for the pic I took.

The axles have the brackets for the disk brakes but I'm not having the actual brakes installed. I think we'll be fine. We are going to Powell later this year and a friend that is going is going to pull this out there for us. They have the big RangeRover......should be fine (and similar to the GL450). What do you mean by knee bar?

Range Rover / GL450 both will pull fine, and th self leveling air suspension will be nice. :)

I like the single axle for tipping it up when I flush it and wash it off. Hope you have a steep driveway or you will always have water in the bilge. Or....maybe you will be deep in there with towels.

Are you talking water in the bilge of the WaveRunner? I was thinking empty most on the ramp, suck out the rest with a wet/dry vacuum. Is that not possible? For lakes out here......if there is any water in the boat, you can't get on the lake at all (mussels).

I ride my ski's in the salt so after every use I hose down the engine...spray it with wd40 and tilt it up for a day....after it dries than I cover them up and wait for next ride... Guess with a fresh water ski it is not really that important.

Yikes.....I'll have to check it out. You hose down the engine? I'm sure we'll use it in the salt too sometimes.
