it looks like same trailer I've got, rated at 1800kg for single axle. if I was still towing it much on the road i think i'd change to twin axle now just because the tyres need to be pumped up so hard you don't get much flex in them to help with the suspension

It's one of these:

SBS Trailers Accessories

Load capacity of just over 1300kg. Plenty for my boat which is around 800kg dry.

I want one of those.
Just need to work out how to make the base, I think I can manage that - and how many beer vouchers Mr Biffer wants to construct another frame just like it.

Great work Biffer. Good to hear I can imagine you in the workshop with the Rocky Balboa "getting stronger" tune on as your lifting A frames

That makes your toobs look filthy

Who made it, and/or what foam did you use? I need to find a big chunk for a suicide seat back, but due to the design it can't be Dryfast as it's go to be 1" max thick.
