Wanted 16ft Boat Trailer


Recommended Posts

It's time to replace my 1974 Sears boat trailer. Looking for a working boat trailer to transport my 1974 16ft semi-V boat. The boat only weighs 225 pounds empty and has no floor in it. It's basically a row boat with a motor on it.

 

My current trailer needs new spindles, or a new axle. But my trailer is narrow by today's standards and all I can find is a 48" wide trailer axle (where the springs mount to the axle). My axle measures just 40.5" between the leaf springs. I don't think there is enough metal on the axle to weld a new spindle to it. A new axle would stick out about 4" past the fenders. The bottom of my boat is flat from the transom forward, about 10ft toward the bow. My spindles are worn out and they keep blowing out the rear seals.
