nice rig

Very nice, I like the home built trailer. I have to build one myself. What size wheels did you use?
What tongue length seems to work best to fully immerse the boat? (Bow to hitch length)

That’s a nice little setup! I like the ’59 Evinrudes. I just got a ’59 Golden Jubilee Fastwin 18 about 2 weeks ago. The 5.5s are great little fishing motors.

thanks guy’s it is a nice little setup that i can pull with my little car,the trailer is not home made it’s a sea-king trailer.

i can get you specs just let me know what you want me to measure.i have no problem with geting the boat in shallow water i pull it with a 93 dodge shadow it’s a small 2 door car.

Oh, cool. I have not seen one of those before. I like the simplicity of the triangular frame. I want to launch in shallow water as well.

If you don’t mind getting some dims, that would be great.
(Tire size or overall height ow wheel, height from ground to underside of boat and tongue length from bow to hitch) I can figure out the rest. Thanks a million

wow – I am so ENVIOUS !!!
I have many wonderful memories of boat camping on the rivers.
The most pleasant is the smell of bacon and eggs being fried
on an open fire in a cast iron skillet – wow – those were the days !!!
then – hopefully, we had a mess of bluegills caught with a cane pole for lunch with hush puppies.
My mother was the cook – and did an awesome job of it. (back in the 50s-60s).
now, it is gas grills, plastic tables, storebought hamburgers and hotdogs.

hope you have a FANTASTIC time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m ready to go.

I’ll meet you at the ramp! ☺
