Boat Trailer ID

[Tubs]

Its at a lake camp so its likely it was registered
in another town. I understand the owner is elderly
and now lives in Mass. It appears it is was last
registered over 50 years ago. I thought the wheels
would be the clue to the manufacture and get an
answer right away. I still believe someone here
will know what it is. I don’t want to know bad
enough to put that much time into it.

A "Boathouse Repair" is one that done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

Those are nice looking alloy wheels. I would turn them and see if they are dissolved on the bottom. All that leaf mold is pretty acidic and may have eaten them up.

So was looking for info and I believe I have an old holsclaw trailer. It was converted to a catamaran trailer until the tongue broke off. The alum wheels have internal bearings and rolls well.
Search for the alum wheels led me here. Early 1950’s different fender configuration. I heard they made motorcycle trailers as well.

Tee Nees were known for their coil springs – below is a link to a catalog – maybe you can find it there. With the washing machine rollers on the back, there could have been other modifications done to it.

I will say Holsclaw as well. Attached are pictures of my ’50 Holsclaw Boat Roadster Trailer and a wheel from it.

Amazing response as I posted that just a little over 4 years ago.
I was just there last week and it’s still there. I’d say oldlure has
the wheel for sure. I posted it as a – what is it puzzle – for those
who are into trailers. I have learned quite a bit about trailers
since then.
