haggard Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Not exactly my ride, but what my ride will ride on. I brought it into the basement for the winter to do a roller to bunk conversion, wasn't planning on a complete tear down but the more I dug into it, the more I found it needed. It seems well built and will be roughly half the cost of a new trailer by the time I'm done, not counting sweat equity. Most of the work will be sanding and painting. New parts include winch, wheels and tires, hubs, wiring, coupler, bow roller, safety chains, bunk bolsters and DIY bunks. Re-used parts will be frame, lights, winch stand, tongue jack, axle, springs, fenders. Trailer is a Sterling (Salem, Ohio) model S-715. I can't find any info on it online; anyone know roughly when these were made? It will carry a 12 ft Lund WC-12. 2 Quote

I'm going to be kind of in that position in a couple weeks when I get my trailer - some assembly required. It's an Ironton PWC trailer that I'm going to replace the main tongue piece with a longer one to be able to fit my 14' canoe on what originally was a 10' trailer. Luckily I have experience in working with tube-steel, so drilling holes in the replacement piece won't be an issue. 1 Quote

I have an old town saranac that I fish from and I can easily stand in it and fish. I took a look at the specs and the old town is only 36 inches wide as this canoe says it’s 41! Is this thing pretty stable? I think I might get one 1 Quote

Easy to stand and move around it. The seat has nice height and swivels around so you can sit with your legs off the side or turn around easy to access your gear. Very versatile and easy to customize. 1 1 Quote

File sizes too big You have to use some sort of photo editor. Lots of free ones out there. Google "How to reduce image size" for specific suggestions.
