Hey all
I built a trailer out of an old RV trailer frame that was given to me. Bought a harbor freight flux core wire welder and some steel from a fencing company. Got the measurements of of my boat and went to town. I wasnt sure where the center of gravity was but luckily I hit it really close. It worked going about 50 miles down the road. I would want to reinforce it some if going any farther.
I hired a man who hauls mobile homes to pull mine. He had never pulled a boat before and wasn't too sure about it but it went well. If I were to go any farther I would also need to get it titled and licensed.
My trailer is my boat cradle for now and probably the next couple of years. Then I plan to have it hauled to the Kerr-Mclellen and launched. The trailer will go up for sale then as I plan to travel the K-M to the Mississippi river and then points south.
Total cost for welder,trailer and tow was about $750. Perhaps you could do something similar. I would loan you mine if it were possible. Good luck with your endeavors.
