Thread: Made a step for the boat trailer

Granger, and some of the auto parts stores have a mechanics step that hooks over tire with platform saves from trying to climb the tire

That’s a great idea.
This winter when too windy and cold to fish, put it in the garage and checker it like a gunstock

Also I bought a work platform from Lowe’s it’s 4 ft long about 14wide , set at back tire walk out to trailer, legs fold up and can put in cab, to keep from getting stolen, many uses when not fishing like changing light bulbs painting, when you don’t want a ladder also set by boat to reach or climb into it,

Today we have a steady breeze of 15-25, with gusts to 45. Spotlock would be nice!! It is however, supposed to get to 50°, and sunny.

What about a longer drawbar, for the receiver? Granted, it change center of gravity for the trailer.
