Boat Trailer Rebuild
I purchased this trailer about 2 months ago for my Proboat Impluse 31 V2:
This is how it arrived so I have some work to do in order to get it useable. Here is my progress:
Yesterday I felted the rails with some hobby lobby felt and completed the wheels and tires. I blacked them out to match the boat:
I had to file down the current hitch to replace it:
I haven't decided if I am going to do an eye hook or a receiver style so here is the threaded pipe soldered in place
More to come!

I decided to go with the eye hook since the coupler was going to be too much of a pain. I can very easily always go to coupler if the eye hook doesn't work out:
I drilled a very simple ball receiver into the back bumper of my truck:
Final product sans boat, I'll use it all this weekend and get a video with my gopro:

Where did you get the trailer from? My son is really wanting to build one and is driving me crazy.
