Ho's Claw trailer preparing for CVX
« on: February 07, 2012, 07:07:54 PM »
Well we got what was left of the V163 off the Holsclaw lil while ago. Trailer's in better shape than I envisioned, all the keel'n bunk rollers work. Ain't tried the lights yet ...

Kinda unique trailer suspension wise. Don't see many like it 'round here. Too bad it's not galvanized.

Probably a bad ground. 90% of the time, that's the problem for me. But yea, sometimes it's just easier to redo it all and be done with it! A lot easier without a boat on it anyway.

That looks like a great trailer, wish I would have stumbled on one like that instead of the shoreland'r I purchased for the Starflite.

That is an interesting trailer design. Are you putting the Baja on there? Now what did you do with the V163? You didnt saw that up did you?

No I'm not putting the Baja on there, unless the Shorelandr poops the bed.

Saw up a V163? Hmm, yes ...  well ya see I was on my way out back to trim some trees with a big pruning blade in the sawsall, got my feet tangled in the extention cord and tripped & fell onto the 163? That's my story.

Need parts?
