Neat little trailer

Borrowed a friend's trailer for a trip to Bull Trout Lake. No motors are allowed so my boat isn't allowed. Well, I guess I could launch it but would be very difficult to row.

So I borrowed my friend's trailer with automatic boat loader (so sweet!) Stuffed the inside with my dirt bike, genny, firewood, gas, etc.





Caught some nice Rainbows. Dinner with grilled fish and veggie kabob.

DJ,
Nice catch: good size, fully enclosed and weatherproof. Just the kind of trailer you want to haul anything you care about. Does it have belt rails or cleats to tie down your bike? If you owned a trailer like this the disparity between the ground clearance on your truck and the trailer would have to be addressed; namely by doing an SOA on the trailer. That way you could use it summer and winter and on the bad roads you are so adept at finding. Easy to find in ID.
My brother Jim has a trailer just like this but he rarely uses it. He has used it to haul firewood but that roughed up the floor and inner wall boards. He originally got it to be a go-between on his 3 residences.

My friend who owns the trailer used it for hauling a road bike on the highways. Since we met he now has traded the road bike for a dirt bike and installed the self loader for the new boat. The trailer has a self locking front wheel chock for the bike along with tie down straps for good measure. I had to buy a 12" drop stinger so I could tow the trailer. Yes, it is way too low. Scraped on gas station driveways. We have a plan to give it a 4" lift this winter!!

Great area..

Nice little trailer, what size? 6x12' I like the front box.
and how did the boat loader work, sweet I know, but just unlatch and unload?
Just wondering,
thanks...
