this video is 100% the coolect thing i have seen made with that trailer, i have the same boat and now know what i will be doing. Great video and fantastic work!

[@edwardh1003]

That looks great color matched to the boat.

[@ts3871]

Nice job on the tongue. I'm doing the same thing to the HF trailer I just bought. Nice work!

[@ridemfast7625]

Very nice improvements. Its obvious you thought it out before building it. Im doing the same also with the square tubing.

[@BoatMotors]

Thanks and good luck.

[@thomasroberts5658]

Great job I’m about to start mine this weekend

[@nazarettos6987]

Awesome upgrade,great video.

[@grantbagley4677]

Well don project and well done video. I decided to use HF trailer for a boat and looked at all the videos on you tube. By far this is the best. Thanks for sharing.

[@BoatMotors]

Thanks!

[@gabrielb9855]

Great video man! Thank you.

[@mikegiammarise7861]

Thank you so much for this this will be so much help to me thank you

[@matthewevans8469]

Great video! Love how you did it.

[@BoatMotors]

Thanks!

[@A-aronTrekn]

I'm looking to do this same type mod but with crossbars that are already installed with 2 Hobie kayaks. I just want to extend the tongue length. Have you ever looked at using a Malone 2" x 3" x 90" replacement tongue with their retractable tongue kit ?

[@lmt-adventures620]

Great idea and good job putting it together! I’ll be doing one but welding instead.

[@dennisburrill3260]

I believe in Washington state it has to be bolted to be legal at least in Snohomish County

[@lmt-adventures620]

@@dennisburrill3260 I’m in Nevada either way I wonder why that would be the case. Weld is stronger than bolts

[@FreedomFishing]

Wow. This is great work!

[@BoatMotors]

Thanks!

[@guns-usa8564]

Very nice video👍 i’m buying one tomorrow I might have to reach out to you if I have questions? seems like you did a really good job great video

[@kalleklp7291]

Great. :) on ours, I have installed rolls like the one you have at the winch. However, it's also a bigger boat (5 meters) and it weighs 315 Kg.

[@BoatMotors]

Thanks!

[@jacobrowlett7296]

What size steel bar did you use?

[@mattdavis822]

Nice build

[@BoatMotors]

Thanks!

[@brandonrenfro8113]

Nice trailer! Do you mind telling me the length of that square tubing? I have that trailer and am thinking about doing this to haul a 14' flat bottom.

[@BoatMotors]

Thanks! I sold the trailer with the boat a while ago. If I were you, I'll install the pipe on the trailer, load the boat and then cut the front part out. Make sure it;s long enough to turn safely. Then install the hitch coupler.

[@StanCooperHwy27]

Where did you get the extension tube that you have the winchstand on?

[@BoatMotors]

You can buy the extension tube at any place selling steal

[@495responsellc2]

what are the link for all the product used? need more info about the square tube that was used!!!!

[@philos212]

Nice work on the trailer! What kind of spacers did you use to fit the tube? Also, you mentioned you had to cut something at the tongue (top of the A shape) to make the tube fit. Can you explain how you did that?

[@BoatMotors]

The spacer is about 2mm each side. You have to watch the video one more time to see what did I cut. It is hard to explain.

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

What size tubing did you use?

[@BoatMotors]

4“ x 2” with wall thickness around 3mm if I'm not mistaken

[@jukelowe5285]

Where did you order that bimini top from? Everything turned out good man.

[@BoatMotors]

Amazon - Leader Accessories

[@slonon6410]

what thickness tube did you use?

[@BoatMotors]

2.90mm

[@jestes7]

Are these other parts available at stores or were they all manufactured by you?

[@BoatMotors]

I ordered some of the parts online like trailer boat winch post, the rest mostly from Harbor Tools

[@roberthubbard7827]

Did you have to have it recertified it, to prove it street safe?

[@BoatMotors]

I never did it, if you do any modifications and if you feel that you need to re certified you can do it

[@shertbunstoppable6887]

Where I can find this steel square tube?

[@BoatMotors]

You can buy the extension tube at any place selling steal

[@dovenix2852]

Would this setup work with a 14 foot?

[@BoatMotors]

Yes

[@philos212]

Is the steel tube 4x2? What gauge?

[@BoatMotors]

Yes it is 4x2 . Gauge 12, Inch 0.104" Metric 2.6mm

[@philos212]

@@BoatMotors ok thanks.

[@thomasgrady9292]

Hey bro how long is your boat?

[@BoatMotors]

12

[@What_Fred_Said]

Nice job but the music is annoying!

[@itsruf1]

OMG seriously? What a crummy trailer. Any respectable would jump off that thing. Imagine the crummy tow vehicle for that crummy trailer.

[@ryanhimmin932]

What a crummy human being to be trying to shame someone over this. Just over a creative youtube video this os disgusting! This just goes to show how mutch of an entitled prick you really are.

[@itsruf1]

@@ryanhimmin932 No I've earned everything in my videos. I don't knell or ever use the word entitled. Heck I even made my own avatar. We are not entitled to avatars in life. Wake up at 6am and produce your own?

[@ridemfast7625]

Those trailers have been around for ~20 years. Many use them for building tear drop trailers and traveling around the country. They are also sold and very popular in Europe. Do some research prior to publicly displaying your ignorance.

[@itsruf1]

@@ridemfast7625 Yes Sir. Those little wheel bearings are begging to fail. I've always had a rule that the trailer tire should be as big or bigger than what it is hailing. Like my Polaris RZR or similar. It's nice having extra "bed" for boards or whatever-ya-find. A tandem axle rides like butter and you forget it's back there. FWIW in Illinois basic trailer plates jumped to $135/year from $20 -$30 like it has been seemingly forever. And the money will be abused by abusive corrupt leaders and union jobs, padded pensions.

[@ridemfast7625]

@@itsruf1 Those 25mm bearings have a load rating of 7000+ lbs each. Grease and service like all other trailers and no issues.
