Building A Boat Lift

[Dean2]

I am trying to build a boat lift for a 19" deep V Fiberglass boat with an outboard. I have decided it would be a good idea to replicate the roller bunk trailer it rides on to travel. Can anyone tell me where I can find a good supply of used boat trailers or boat trailer parts in Edmonton and area. I need the roller bunk rails, wheels and cross members etc off a boat trailer to mount onto the lift. If I can find the right sized used trailer I may even try just removing the axle and wheel well arches and mount the whole trailer frame to the lift.

Any thoughts on whether my roller bunk idea for the boat lift is good or bad are also welcome.

I think the idea of just removing the axle is a good one. Maybe call Boatmart in Red Deer as they had lots of used trailers/parts in their yard the last time I was there.
