Matt,

Great youtube videos.  Thanks!!

Thanks Matt, that's good advice to get me started.  I don't have brakes at all, and wish I did.  I had to tow her 200 miles in a drizzle when I first picked her up, and it was a nail-biter.  I'm on the hunt for a yard in my area that has the parts and pieces I'll need.  You can see how the side bunks are spread too far out and too tall.  The wobble rollers actually did a good job of centering the keel, but I like the way you did yours.  Seems more solid.

Jeff- Did you see the other two videos about building the trailer?   I had them add a third cross member between the axles that supports the 2 x 12.  I don't know if the 2 x 12 would support the weight without the third beam. Your keel must set on the beam below the rollers?  You may only have to pivot and lower your side bunks.   

Lets see if I can post some photos you should see three

Excellent - these pics really help.  Currently the keel sits on the two beams, which seems flimsy compared to yours.  I should add that middle beam, for sure. 

Thanks Matt!
