Project Finished!

Last weekend I spent my time finishing off putting the trailer together. Sunday I spent wiring, so that the break and turn signals worked. It was my first time wiring a trailer, and it was easier than I thought. I used a wire fish, and zip ties to make sure the wiring was out of harm's way, and everything was nice and neat. I also modified the bunks used to support the boat. I added an extra layer of foam, and an extra layer of carpeting that I had lying around. I rigged the boat to ensure everything was working. Here are some photos. All in all, a great experience! Next weekend I will get the boat out. See you on the water! If I have any issues, experiences, or repairs, I will still post them here.

Dude Where's My Trailer?

I haven't posted in a while. I have been researching my options about finding a trailer to purchase online. Living in Canada, I was frustrated with the options. In the U.S. Harbor Freight has a perfect trailer for the Sunfish with free shipping for $325.00. The cheapest option for Canadians is to get s jet-ski trailer from Canadian Tire for $999.00. Quite a difference, and one I wasn't willing to pay.

After much searching I finally found a trailer in BC for $375 from an inflatable boat dealer. Below is a picture of the trailer once assembled. I haven't gotten this far yet, as I just received my trailer kit last week. I have the basic frame built, and will post updated pictures.

I also have to get the trailer registered, then install a plate once finished.
