    "flatbed" boat trailers... who has one, pics, who makes them?

    Looked over the net and couldn't find much information. I'm either going to have to restore a trailer or replace... I've always liked the looks of the flat style ones just can't seem to find any information on them.

    I'd love to see some pics if any of you guys have any as well.

ID:	397978 Noah This may not be what you mean but I use an old snomobile/motocycle to hall my inflatable SLT.
    What do you mean by "flat bed" as I have a number of trailers...maybe you could post an example?

    you weren't as far off as you might think! I had considered buying a dovetail 20' car hauler flatbed and modifying it to suit my needs if I can't find something on the market like I want.

    I haven't been able to find any pics of Aaron's setup, I'll keep looking though.

    I got in touch with Aaron and he sent me a pic of his trailer. It really is a thing of beauty and EXACTLY what I was thinking of doing so I am pumped about that!

    I went ahead and attached the picture, hope you don't mind Aaron.

    Aaron's is really cool. Has that big toolbox on the front with an air compressor in it and room between that and the boat to sideload his golf cart up on there for transport

    The tool box is a must have! I don't have a golf cart unfortunately, but damn good idea to have room for it if you need it! Not to mention I bet it tows down the highway at 80+ better than a normal trailer does.
