    hey guys just setting up a new trailer. Will be used with virtually all pole skis, (650sx, Fx1, SJ and maybe a kawi 750 or blaster1)
    Im using shaped wooden 4x2 runners with marine carpet, and wondering what the ideal width apart for the runners is?
    Any photos of other users trailers would be sick to get some ideas.
    Thanks and merry Xmas

    i used 50 x 50 angle bracket with coach bolts into the wooden runners and i held them on the cross bars with u bolts so that i could adjust them if ever needed
    Also you might want to make your front snub post adjustable in height so it can be moved up from an sj height to a blaster height...
    The othe thing is instead of welding the axle to the frame make a sliding axle configuration using angle brackets and u bolts so you always change the centre of ballance for the type of skis you carry


    Just what i learnt from building mine and (making some mistakes lol)

    Cheers guys I was thinking about 350 centre to centre so 320 sounds good. The trailer is also used to carry motorbikes and has 3 channels for the wheels (these do not interfere with skis though)
    And sickboi we have one of those trailers but its still full of a mates seadoo, aparently they arnt even recyclable..
