My recent trailer conversion

[JSD Welding]

This started out as a POS 2000 Long Run Trailer designed to hold one couch, had a storage box and bunks. I removed everything except the box and started welding/fabricating it to hold our two new 2016 Super Jets. Custom Fuel Rack, Bow Stop, Bunk Brackets, Expanded Metal Floor, etc. Then took it to get media blasted and powder coated in semi-gloss black, then made the carpeted bunks, wired the trailer, new tongue jack. Came out pretty cool.

Here are a couple pics:

Very sharp. Nice work.

Awesome. Just curious if there is any advantage or reason for putting the bunks up higher then stock/normal?

Probably not an advantage but I bet that couldn't fit both skis between the fender wells so had to make taller to clear . That's my guess .

Clean work looks good JSD .

I had to put the bunks up higher so both hulls would clear the fenders, my 3-Car Garage in the single car bay is not very wide, so I needed a skinny trailer to fit it in that bay.

You are correct.

Nice idea to hold up the trailer bunks, gonna do the exact same thing on my new trailer I just picked up this weekend. Got a bunch of welding to do on this thing

First pictures I've seen of the new 2016 not from a Yami ad. Great looking trailer and skis.

Thanks!! Cool thing about our SuperJets, they are Serial # 1 & 2 off the assembly line for 2016.

The full black powder coat is the cat's meow. I've seen walk in powder ovens but none large enough for that trailer.

How did you decide on the cable lock through the bow eyes vs posts and a pin arrangement (with locks)?

What do you store on the mesh area behind the gas cans?

Nice work, looks sharp!

I felt the cable locks around the bows stops are more secure, you can remove pin arrangements with a wrench in minutes, I cable lock the front and rear of the ski - if they get through both, well I have insurance on the ski's. I put chairs or whatever on the expanded metal floor behind the gas cans, also stand on it to un-cable the ski's.

Looks great

How wide is the trailer itself? I'm looking for a trailer for 2 SJ's and may try to steal your set up. Looks great!!

Fantastic work/craftmanship! Great compliment to your 2 new skiis! Serial #1 & 2 = Sweet!
