TFF's own canoe hauler

[krebsie]

Dave Hosler has donated his boat trailer to TFF. Thanks Dave! We will be remodeling it to hold 4 canoes. Got started last week and calculated the load for the axil and the hitch and discovered we need about 3 more ft of the center beam to work for a 16' canoe. Does anyone out there have either an old boat trailer we could scavange parts off of or a 3' piece of 3" square X 3/16 thick piece of steal we could use for an extension?

Oh and the boat is at Gary's for now. It's free to anyone who wants it. If it doesn't find a home soon, it's going to be turned into scrap.




The boat no longer has the sweet sticker on the sides or the super ergonomic seats pictured above. It's a 12' boat, it was my Wildcat Cree cruiser. I'll miss it

Got any takers?

I might take it. Seaworthy? Clean skuppers? Square by the mast? Member FDIC? Equal housing lender?

It's pondworthy and Tippecanoe worthy when it's not too low. The beam is a bit narrow, but it works. I took it to a reservoir once, the one Krebs has family on. Not smart with a trolling motor and the jerks with speedboats who try to swamp you.

She's settin in my garden like a giant yard ornament! Anyone interested?
Anybody been able to find a piece of 3" square tube steel anywhere yet?

I'll be able to spend more time checking around with people I know when things slow down. Shouldn't be hauling many canoes right now.
