Take a look at your welds on the boat trailer I have an old one under my box kite which failed. yours looks better built then mine.
You build looks thought out.

Thank you. Yes, that is it on the build journal, link is in my signature as well.
I tell everyone there is at least 3 times as much planning time on my trailer as actual build time (cutting, nailing, gluing, etc). It seems like we are constantly trying to figure out the next step. Then, looking to make sure that isn't going to either screw up something else, or get ahead of ourselves in some way. So, yea, lots of thought as gone into it thus far. And oddly enough, I already find myself saying "on the next one...".
Yeah, we were a little hesitant about the boat trailer, and were having a tough time finding some to buy steel from locally and weld at a descent price. So we bought it, and come to find out, I had a friend with mucho welding skills. He took care of the mods for us. Also we were going to keep the axle that came with it , but it was much too stiff, so we put a torflex on. That was a great move, rides much better now.
Thanks for looking,
Brian
