Tim,
Thanks for the kind words and your spot on with the headaches!
It is worth it, my toys have never been a stress free adventure but be grown to love them even though they always bring a list of work and worry!
To answer your questions. Yes, bolt together ezloader. I'll keep and eye on it and hope it gives some years before I upgrade to a welded unit! I'd be happy to hear any tips!
Tires are Carlisle I believe. I'll double check in the am. I've personally had good luck with them on my last few trailers but did upgrade to Goodyear Marathons on my toyhauler. It does have dual stainless disks on both axles. As for salt, will be in it next month and I'd appreciate tips on it. I e never been in my on boat in the salt. We are crabbing and will rock fish eventually.
Bow eye is held by the winch and safety chain. Is there a better way?
Not hitting Tuna! I'd be in a boat like your old one if I had deep sea on the mind!!!!! Parkers are nice, there is a nice Trophy with twins on the rear that is for sale I pass everyday....if I was a rich man!
