Gday,
Around mid next year im planning on doing a trip for about 4 moths to the cape, and all the way around to the Kimberleys etc. I am planning on towing a 4.5 - 5m tinny around with me. I have been looking around at a couple different designs for making a 4x4 boat trailer that will be a little more supportive to the boat on the rough roads and give it a little more clearance.
A few ideas i have been tossing up are:
- modify the trailer it comes on
- making a complete new trailer
- independant suspension
- mounting tyres on the trailer as runners/supports that will takes the impact
- increasing the centre runners to help with supporting the weight evenly
Has anybody had any experience with any of the above or has anyone got there own design they would be willing to share?
Any info at all would be greatly appriciated.
