Boat trailer build
Submitted by squid2u on Wed, 2018-10-10 06:59
Gday all,
Just after some advice/information on building a aluminium trailer, has anyone built one or have plans to do so? Or if a forum on here already exists, any advice would be much appreciated.

I recall looking into this as well a while ago
The Ausfish forum has a thread on a DIY build
sadly it looks like the photos are gone
I ended up getting an awesome trailer built by Tezza down in Port Kennedy for my 5m centre console

black gen,
Not sure of the size of your boat, but I have just last week got a quote from Tezza's.
To suit my 6.7mtr ally and rated to 3.4 tonne came in at $10,100 ($9,600 with 2.8 tonne rating).
These really are awsome trailers.

Biggest decision would be
Biggest decision would be deciding if electric brakes are required. Most 6m glass boats when loaded with full fuel, esky, fishing gear etc are well over the 2T.
