I couldn't help reading this thread , I'm in sorta' the same dilemma ... was going to use a boat trailer , but they are harder to come by than I had imagined , and of course it'll have to be modified .... So the plan now is to build ... had lists of oversize materials , called my steel man , no dice !!! only has stuff like 2 1/2" x 1/4 angle iron , pipes in different sizes and flat stock ... I was discouraged until I read Mad Jacks description of overbuilt trailers vs commercial units .... feel much better now ... was planning on using the Mech Illst. 1947 plans for trailer (looked lightweight on the plans)... that one went thousands of miles so I guess it's strong enough ... OK, Cool !!!! Thanks Guys for the renewed confidence...
