Yeah I though I had one on my phone but I'll have to snap a few pics this evening when I get home.

Frame width is 47". All of the hardware is from some trailer depot site on the net - under $100
Bunks @ 13" on center

Thanks. The ideal setup for me would be able to run a single ski between the middle bunks and two skis as well without moving the bunks around. Not sure if that is even possible.

I could afford to move the bunks in more on my setup to be able to do exactly that, I'll post more pictures when I get home

With SJ it is possable and they just bairly dont rub at 12" bunk centers. The wider hulls might require a 5th bunk in the mix if you dont want to adjust them

I had originally done this trailer with wood bunks but that ended up being quite expensive and fairly heavy. I redid it with aluminum tubing and bunks and it was actually cheaper and much lighter.
Just like @DAG mentioned doing, I added a fifth bunk to allow setting a ski closer to the center when running solo.
My only complaint with this setup is the length and overall balance. I would like to reduce at least 2ft off the length and re-position the axle to improve the balance.

The pic with just the orange sliders looks like one of those trick pictures "How many rails do you see? 5 or 6?"

Boyer's is pretty slick. Same principle but I used wood.

I had this same setup. Just a tip, if you ever decide to get rid of this trailer... When I removed my bunks, I braced it with 2x4 to make a triangle under my 4x4. It now is a rack so I can fit 2 skis in the bed of my truck. Previously the rails would rub. With the rack, the skis sit over the wheel wells and the rails do not rub anymore. The person buying the trailer was using it for something else so I just kept the wood when I sold it.

Where does one get a nifty nose piece like the bottom pic on the Rickter FR-2 with NY tags?

I drew it out on a bar napkin and a friend of mine fabricated it.

That rubber piece is pretty trick. You can't find them anywhere.

I have one similar as well. The problem is finding a way to mount it.

Mine has the pin set up currently but the Rickter uses the eyelet ring so these will be perfect for my situation. Thanks everyone.
