14 Boat Trailer

This is what I've found so far A lund 14footer is about 180 Lbs
a Shorlander trailer is about 245 lbs
a 9.9 mercury motor 65 Lbs
for 515 lbs ad about 85 extra pounds of stuff about 615 Lbs total
and you are 400 lbs under the 1000 lbs Class 1 hitch
is my thinking correct about this?

Weights will vary with make and materials of construction. What you have sounds about right however, it's always best to put the loaded unit on a scale and make sure. Tongue weight is also inmportant and can be controlled with load position.

Sidelined with a dead starter in the flagpole race I used the last bit of video card to record this

I will be getting a 12 foot aluminum v-bottom row boat soon. I need a trailer and the cheapest i could find is a 14 foot v-bottom boat trailer that held a fiberglass boat.Is there a difference? Could i do this?

Simple answer, yes, it can be adjusted to fit pretty good. I've done it many times.

Sloped drain tray helps to keep counters dry

Sized just right for limited counter space

every manufacturer of trailers puts a small metal plaque somewhere on
the frame. on my escort trailer it was right on the side - pretty easy to see.
on some older trailers it could actually be on the bottom of the frame
somewhere. If it is an old trailer that is worn pretty good it may be tougher
to find - or maybe its gone. You may have to contact the mfr (if they are still in business) and get a replacement once you prove you own it. Worst case
you could probably get by titling it as a homemade trailer. good luck!!

I was wondering have a boat trailer axle will that be good to put 13 inch or 14 inch car tires on?

Sure. Just remember that a 185/75/14 car tire does not have the same weight capacity as the same size trailer tire. But, if you do not plan on carrying heavy loads, then the auto tire would be fine.

If you are still using this trailer for your boat, then you need to stick with a trailer tire. Trailer tires are built with more ply's allowing better weight capacity and stronger side walls. Stronger side walls are very important when hitting curbs or using un-improved ramps that are poorly maintained.

The wheel studs are corroded as are the lug nuts. We were able to remove the lug nuts with great difficulty in order to remove the tires to get them fixed. Now the lug nuts will not go on anymore. I heard about this thing called a "thread chaser" or a "tap and die". But how is anybody really supposed to fix something like this? It's been in sea water before.

Don't bother for $20 dollars buy the complete hub bearings and studs with nuts> Replace it all> It comes as an assembly> The other studs are in the way to try and turn the die>And getting the studs out you will need a acetylene torch and slug hammer>To much work> Replace them>
