This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Matt one of these days you'll back that rusty trailer into the water and only the tongue will come back out!!! :lol: :lol:

Well your largeness I have made a new purchase I am very happy with.... :wink: Maybe now I won't get mocked by the big guy... :P

Now I have a trailer that is the right size for my boat , is legal with drum surge brakes, GALVANIZED 8) 8) and brand spankin new......Being that the boat sits properly on the trailer now I fully expect my gas milage to improve as well which is good news for rod(squeeky wallet)breaker :lol: :lol:

I have to say that one of FH's partners is responsible for this......tonnes of praise and thanks go out to Laurentian marine (Doug) for exceptional service, you guys rock.... 8) 8)

It's far too shiny, Matt -- go break it in! :lol:

Good times ahead, and probably safer times now, too!

Thanks, Dad, for taking me fishing when I was a kid.

That's the length it was made for...new axel and tires last year, new winch this year...new lights and I plan to give it a paint job...very solid trailer. Look for a post in the classifieds soon or make an offer as is!! :wink:

Actually it's only a 55" and with big waves will pop on me...but being wireless, only a year old and that I don't work rough water that often it will do for now....

I do however have my eye on one that I can hook into my Lowrance hds7....self guiding :lol: ...now that's the stuff 8)

Nice set up going on there Matt. Just think now, you know that launch ramp where we saw that guy rip off his kicker, well maybe you can get your boat in there easier with the new wheels!

Cheers, Ron...
