Looking good. Myself and a welding friend of mine have built a lot of trailers. It is indeed a bunch of work.

Don't forget to triangleate(sp) it to the ball also. The trailer I have now had been sprayed with some kind of galvanized stuff that I had done and it's still lookinig like new after 10-12 years or so. Not sure if they still do that here in Hoquiam or not. It was well worth the price.

I also designed 2 - 3"" rollers that the boat sits on so it is so easy to roll it on and off. Of course, I'm not youmg like you.

If you don't get it galvinized spray a rattle can or 2 inside the 2x3 tubing as most trailers rust from the inside out.

Please keep us informed during the build. I also have another idea you should do but I would have to show you.
