My boat trailer conversion project...
Sorry for the crappy pics, when I'm in project mode the last thing on my mind is pics...every once in a while I'll remember to at least snap some cell phone pics in case somebody else could make use of them. Moving the axle...the were held in place with U-bolts and a few small welds. Building the flatbed frame...Pressure treated 2x4's, galvanized brackets, etc Frame on the trailer getting painted...I used Rustoleum "hammered", some of the best project paint I've ever used(been using it for 5-6 years). Mounted flatbed...There are thee sets of brackets securing the frame to the flatbed on each side, it's not going anywhere. I filled the gap between the tongue and the flatbed with expanded steel grate over a square tube frame welded to the inside of the C channel to make a storage area for gear, coolers, etc. The forward most platform will have a steel lockbox mounted to it for safe keeping of smaller items.
