Jon Boat Trailer - 12/01/16 08:06 PM
Hey everybody, This is my first post and I'm looking for some advice from boat owners.
I purchased my dad's 12' Jon boat 3 years ago and I've been taking it all over North Texas fishing and Hunting. I load it in and out of the back of my truck (some of you may have even seen me at your lakes.)
I need a trailer and could care less what it looks like as long as it is legal and can carry a boat.
I've had a few dead ends on craigslist, and have thought about buying a trailer to assemble from Harbour Freight. I don't want to put a bunch of money into this because I'm about a year or two away from buying a full sized boat.
Anybody have any ideas of places to look or cheap ideas to hack a regular trailer or any comments about whether buying a trailer in a box and putting it together is a good idea and will last long enough.
I'll post this in different forums so you may see this post again. Thanks for any help.
