Seen at the boat ramp. The first one has PVC over steel steel pipe. The PVC is cut in 2 foot lengths with the joining edges sanded. It rolled pretty smooth. The second was a very interesting DIY that seems to get the job done admirably, if not beautifully.

And so it begins!
Mine's a custom job. An old bass boat trailer stripped down, rebuilt with angle iron, treated 1x4's in the floor, and boat deck built on top with two 2x10's(not treated and need to replace). New 2500'b axle with 15in tires. No clue on weight, but pulls smoothly at up to 80-85mph. Boat deck is just high enough to slide coolers, dry box, and tubs underneath; but not too tall that I have wind drag on the top. Each deck board has rollers on the back, but they haven't been as useful as I thought.
And yes, those are trucker mudflaps. They help keep the muck out of the gear on the trailer, and prevent the rocks from ricocheting back into the car(shattered a rear window on good ole Trough Rd).
Enjoy.
