Thank you Mo! That's what I'm shooting for...utility.

WB, not a bad suggestion buddy. I shall investigate this.

Thank you for the suggestion Jethro. Thank would definitely give it a softer bed to lay in.

First, we all know I drink some along the way, so maybe some of the responsibility could fall there.

Second, I ain't no builder. This boat trailer stretches the definition of "boat trailer" to some extremes. It is a boat carriage.

Also, it is not finished, but this was the first non-freezing, non-raining, and warm enough day I had to work on it. I couldn't resist throwing something together. I figured I'd jack it up to try to keep the four wheeler from filling it with mud, but I'll just have to see how that goes when I get to try pulling it. Plus, I only have about $20 in it, so it was built mostly out of stuff I had laying around. More to come...hopefully.

Check these out. Lots of options.

Awesome pictures! Thanks for the link. Some of those are actually really cool. I'm embarrassed.

With all the rain I've had today, the internet has been spotty and I couldn't do no real work. Soooo, I went back to the shed to work on the boat trailer. It looks better to me. I don't know how it'll do in the woods, but it worked pretty good while I was pulling it around the roads here. I gotta do work inside the boat now, but I'm hoping to have it ready for a serious test run in a day or so.
