    I have to say I like tom's home made trailer the best. and the 1980 lb empty weight is impressive.
    tom, do you have any pics of trailer under construction and a list of materials used.
    thanks, ken

    Chase, I like your forward thinking in the two level trailer. Why not?
    You are one of those that says "What If?", instead of "yea but". Something I fought with my two kids in their teen years. The "What If" change has made my two kids professional successes, so kudos to you sir. -Tom M, N.J.

    Ken,
    Here's some pics taken before the sheet metal skin went on. My cost of materials was approximately equal to the factory trailer that you posted.

    Good Looking Trailer Tom. Going to try to do the same to my Triton 4 place Jet Ski trailer. I am going to try to make it out of aluminum tube and coil stock. -Tom M.

    Thanks Tom, I've never been one to put limits on any concepts, if it can be thought, it can be built.
    And nice job Tom on your trailer, your design is functional in many ways, the wedge roof line adds stability with down pressure at speed on the road

    Hello All
    Slightly off topic, but I have begun building an enclosed trailer and wonder if anyone has weighed the tail on a model 5 or Vixen 912 when the wings are folded??
    My trailer has adjustable wheel placements and would like to get it balanced properly.
    Of course,I could just fold er up and weigh it but thought someone else may have already done that. Just a rough number is all!
    Cheers
    Don

    Hello Again
    That weight question is for a "nose dragger" configuration. I will be hauling a Vixen.
    Thanks
    Don
