QR Code Link to This Post
This trailer is better than you can buy brand new. See details below
deck is exactly 82x167in
Hitch is a 2in ball
Wheels 15x4.5, tires replaced June 2025 and I should have the receipt. Stickers are still on the wheels.
Boards were just replaced because I had catabolized the original boards for a project a few years ago.
Pressure treated 2x12x14 boards from Independence Lumber early Oct 2026 (have receipt).
Deck boards are water proofed on all sides using SEAL-ONCE Marine Wood Sealer and Stain, Bronze Cedar. Expensive stuff, but if there was something better I would have used it. The boards will last a minimum of 10-years in open weather. I've used this exact stuff for 20 years. NOTE this is not the cheaper "Marine Grade" that is a lower-quality product.

Stainless steel carriage bolts and locking nuts. I spent an entire day securing each board to every cross member. This maximizes rigidity and makes towing nice and quiet.
I touched up any surface rust with Rustzilla marine rust converter. I have NOT retouched the paint. The magnesium/zinc rust converter turns to a hard black coating https://rustzilla.com/product/rustzilla-marine-grade-rust-converter-blue-label/
Replaced wiring harness to make it easier to touch up the surface rust. I didn't reattach the tail lights, didn't have any waterproof connectors handy.
No effort or expense spared maintaining this trailer. I did all the work myself, that's how I do everything and that's how I like it. I build to last a lifetime.
Will meet at the Independence Kroger 1100 Declaration Drive, Independence, KY 41051
