This is by far the easiest option, now that i thought of it :grin2:, kidding.
Do you think I should extend bunks off the back side of the trailer instead of extending the tongue and just mount the winch to the added tube?
Thank you much!
Utility/Boat Trailer Hybrid - HF 1720
Good Morning,
I recently bought and assembled my first trailer (harbor freight 1720 4x8 folding trailer). I intend to use as a utility and boat trailer. The boat is a 12 ft 83' alumacraft V bottom. So far I have finished:
-Trailer (w/ wiring, stand)
-Clear coated trailer
-Buddy Bearings and Marine Grease
I do not plan on backing the entire trailer in the water. I'm hoping to build an extension to the tongue and adding a hand crank boat winch. Does anyone know how i could go about rebuilding this piece (the triangle with square tube) to Accommodate the length and addition of a boat winch?
No prior experience with building trailers, however, i'm familiar with most tools/mechanics.
Thank you,
