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.

I've been working on a utility trailer / raft trailer for my daughter over the last few weeks, here's what I came up with. I owe my inspiration to all of the posts here on the buzz, thanks.

The roller brackets and bushings are from White Water Worthy (Jake suggested to put the bushings in the freezer before installing them into the 3" emt, worked great), the roller can be removed and then each platform can be removed so it can go back to a utility trailer.

Just updated my roller, trailer came with 2" steel pipe over 1-3/4" steel pipe, it was very strong, didn't roll all that smoothly and was very loud when driving. The White Water Worthy is such an upgrade.
