Hello, I just found this forum the other day and it has inspired me to do some mods to my boat and/or aquire a new one to mod.
some nice looking rigs and great ideas on here.
Phase 1 of my project would be to fix up a trailer. Currently I have a 12 foot Montgomery Ward sea king mod v hull. The boat usually doesn't get trailered as we keep it at the lake all the time. I have an old trailer that came with a Bluejay sailboat I bought a couple of years ago, the sailboat doesn't get trailered as it stays at the lake as well. I would like to fix up the trailer so I can take the Seaking to some other places to fish.

I know I will need to get a winchpost and winch, but my questions are:
1.Length. The trailer is 13 foot from the rear cross member to the coupler. Is this long enough for a 12 foot boat and could I also put a 14 foot boat on there at some point?
2. Is it worth it? Judging from the condition and the need to add winch post winch, bunks and strip and repaint.
Thanks for any input or comments.
Regards,
John
