Jun 16, 2011. #5. Re: Changing tire size on Jon Boat trailer. Not much reason to go from an 8" to a 12" other than it'll look better, and it'll make you feel better with bigger wheels. Those little 8" wheels look like they're just spinning their little guts out at 75MPH on the interstate! Good Luck!
Re: Weight of a small Jon boat and trailer? - Can I tow with a 1000 Lbs tow capacity? How to weigh a boat..... 1. First put the scale under the tongue with the boat pulled all the way up on the trailer. For this example, we will use a scale reading of 100lbs so W1=100 2. Scoot the boat back on the trailer EXACTLY 12" so 12=X 3. Re-weigh the tongue.
I am in need of a new jon boat trailer. Mine has turned into a headache and I’d rather be fishing that messing around with it. My boat is a 16x 54 flat bottom smoker craft. The trailer the boat is on is between 21 and 22 feet long and 66” between the fenders. Way more trailer than I need. I’m wondering what is the ideal size trailer for ...
Aug 15, 2010. #2. Re: Jon boat trailer Build. I made a trailer for my 1436 john boat. I bought a $150 Harbor Freight trailer kit (on sale + 20% off coupon) and replaced the tongue with a 20' stick of 2.5 x 2.5 square steel tube. Once I figured out how long I needed the trailer I chopped off the tongue, welded on piece of the left over tongue ...
9,715. Feb 21, 2011. #4. Re: help me find a trailer for a 12 ft jon boat. if the boat is too long for the trailer, just put the motor in the boat. It won't hurt it if it hangs off a little bit for a short trip. Check around any school sailing programs, too; the boats they use have lightweight trailers and you may find one for sale.

I recently purchased a Lowe 1648 with guides installed on the trailer. ..two 90 degree bend 2" square tubing with 46" X 2" PVC slid down onto the tubing. About 16" of the metal tubing goes vertical into the PVC. This arrangement is pretty weak when you are trying to load on a windy day.
For a small aluminum boat, it is really a perfect match, and for less than $350 shipped to your door plus an evening of assembly, it was well worth the money. For the record, I later sold the boat, trailer and a 20 HP Johnson for $800 (The trailer was the most expensive part of the rig at $350.
It also requires 750# springs. However, if the total GVW (gross vehicle weight) which is the boat, the trailer, and everything in or on the boat (gas, engine, supplies, and gear) is only 750 pounds then everything can be derated. But if you do that you then need to change things again if buy a newer and heavier boat.
I rounded the guide-on top corners a bit and filed the two outer edges of the guide-on. Then I got the alu started in the 2" abs, and banged the top of the abs on the concrete floor. Gradually the alu slid down into the abs. ABS creeps in heat, so mine might loosen. The Jon should just slide through between them ok.
Jan 9, 2009. #1. I am considering purchasing a Jon boat, motor, and trailer package that weighs in at about 1400-1425 lbs. My Subaru is rated to tow 2400 lbs. I figure the weight of batteries, trolling motores, gas, and equipment will add an additional few hundred lbs. Subaru recommends trailer brakes for anything over 1000 lbs, but the ...
