Boat Trailer ID

[Tubs]

I’m always amazed that no matter what it is
if it has to do with boats someone here
knows about it and can tell you what it is.
From the unique feature I think this one
will be easy. Looks to me like something
that would really add to a period boat
and motor.

Mastercraft?

TeeNee?

I was thinking it’s a Holsclaw after looking at the roller bracket with all the adjustment holes. Man, that’s been there for a long time!

Tubs,
Here’s a trailer that was given to me a couple of years ago, looks very similar to your find.
I always assumed ( no ID plate) it was a Tee-Nee as the suspension looks exactly like a couple of other larger Tee-Nee’s I have with the streamlined fenders.
The wheels on my little trailer look very similar to your’s too, cast mags (?) with bearing hub right in the wheel.
Fenders will need to be replaced, but not a big deal.

Love the ride of the Tee-Nee’s with the shocks and coil springs, it really smooths out the ride for lightweight aluminum or cedar boats.

Hmmm Is that thinwall conduit (EMT) running along the tongue? Those alloy wheels with integral hubs are interesting. Old trailers often seem lightweight and efficient in design. Could well be worth extracting from the vegetation for a thorough inspection.

The rollers are from an old school wringer washer.

Wow, I never saw a tree being used as a tubing bender……………… Seemed to work great. No kinks!

That’s the wire for the tail lights.
Went back and looked again.
The fender looks good. Might
need a couple heavy coats of
primer to fill in the pits but
no dings or dents. No shocks
and I don’t see any mounts for
them. Got a picture of the axle
Stabilizer. Dug around in the
weeds and found a plate. Guess
it’s been sitting there since then.
The year tag is before stickers
when they are held on (and
easily removed) with metal tabs.</span></span></i>

I wonder if the town office can look up that plate for you to see what the make was on the registration?
