I'll get some pics up later today, I was in the middle of a project in the picture, our impeller went out, causing the engine to overheat, which caused the spark plug cables to melt slightly, which caused them to short across which caused it to backfire and blow up one of the exhaust tubes. At the same time I put in a ballast system. It was a long day in the sun. The trailer is one we bought for $300, it looked like crap but we took it down and got it sandblasted, repainted it, mounted the new bunks, cut out the rear cross beam, then put lights and some wheels off a jeep on it. I have the fenders, before they were really high up so we cut them off to see how the boat would sit on the trailer before re-attaching them. As for support, my brother welded a little metal frame together and we attached it to the bottom side. It also partially rests on the engine cover. To keep it down when traveling we just put a couple of bungee cords from the metal frame to some hooks inside the boat.
