Hi Everyone,
I am wanting to convert my boat trailer from skids to a multi roller trailer. It is only 5.5 metres long but unfortunately I don't have the equipment or knowledge to do it myself and was wondering if anyone knew of a trailer repairer on Brisbane's Northside that they can recommend?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Is it a glass or ally boat, if it is ally leave the skids as this is the correct setup for ally boats

Moz, I converted a trailer once and it is fairly basic all you need is a spanner. You can but brackets that just bot on to the frame and if your lucky the rollers may even fit the current brackets. I also replaced the aft end keel roller with one of those self centering type set ups. Did make everything easier but I often wondered whether the cost for the rollers was really worth it and just the self centering set up was all I needed. Why dod you want to convert?

Have you also looked at trading in the trailer for a new one that is setup for your boat
