    trailer is done check it out

    well here is the new trailer that boat mate in tenn made for my boat, it turned out better then i i would ever guess. ratchet staps in the rear all led lights including the lazer cut 58 rocket in the frame, also is back lit, 18in tires and wheels, disk brakes , auto lube hubs, stainless fenders, bunk mounted full size spare, and alot more, now its time to put this boat back together.
