Need boat trailer

ladtrips · 08-09-2002, 02:51 PM

I am in need of a "Cheap" boat trailer for my 82 year old father in law. He has a 12 smoker craft that he hauls on top of his pickup. He has told me that if he had a trailer he would use it more. He fishes the whole month of June every year at Odell lake and the boat sits the rest of the year. I would like to help him fish more. If anyone has anyhting out there I would appreciate teh info. on it. He doesn't have a bunch of money but I will help him some also. Anything to keep him fishing. Thanks in advance. :smile:

ladtrips,
Nice to meet you, I read your post on the newbie's thread. There are a few of us ifisher's that live in Canby, we should get together for a cold beverage sometime. I will keep my eyes open in our local area for a trailer and let you know if I see any.

PS- What part of town do you live in, I am in Township Village.

Ladtrips - If you have any mechanical skills (oh ya - and time to mess with it) I've got a "skeleton" trailer that you can have. It came under my drift boat and then I got a really nice little caulkins by way of a long story. I pulled the deck (3/4 ply wood) off the first (it was a home made) trailer, pulled the rollers off the caulkins and made a new spiffy little drift boat trailer. The skeleton is buried in the weeds somewhere behind my barn. Spindles/axle/frame are salvageable. Needs hubs/bearings/rims/tires/fenders and some sort of deck or rollers. I think I still have the caulkins rollers, but I'm not sure. Acutally the hubs should be around and ok. It had weeny little tires and rims though (like 8").
Anyway - It may not even be worth the drive to Hillsboro, but if your interested, capable and in the area, free MAY be a very good price.

Offer limitied to quantity on hand and price good until I change my mind ( I keep thinkin I could use that for my 34 tolly :shocked: , and you never know when I might have a revelation ).

Anybody else is welcome if ladtrips doesn't grab it. It's probably only good for a couple few hundred pounds. Send e-mail, I'll check the rollers/hubs out see what's still here and give directions.

Ladtrips,
Go check out the for sale section. I posted my inlaws web site and trailers is what he does. All you have to do is tell him what you want and he can make it. check him out. Tell him that Jim sent you.
