here is the float i just built it started life as a camper trailer reinforced the deck area with tubing weld plate on the outside so i can haul a mid size car but i made it to haul my EQ around ...I get allot of calls for repairs and stuff so i pick them all up at once i can fit 5 lawn tractors if i get them on there right the deck is long 20 feet long center deck is plywood winch is rated for 3000 pounds ..It pulls nice i just put back up lights on it just have to hook up the electric brakes ..I made the ramps 3 feet long ..But i am going to change the to a fold up style that slide on a bar

Nice job Briggs!!!!!!!!

thank u i am going to put side rails on it and put more tie downs in total i will have 10 of them i am also going to make folding ramps that will be adjustable ...Winter project when the shop is not busy

Cool trailer!

How is that Chevy Blazer? I read that in the 90's many Chevy (GM cars) had been eating some gaskets, because GM decided to use Dexcool, wich was the worst antifreeze ever for gaskets. Did yours needed to be redone?

yes we did the gaskets they were bad for taking out the intake gaskets ...I bought the real good ones from Felpro they are rubber with a steel core they wont blow out again lol I need to change the water pump now it just started leaking but its been a great little SUV it has 260 tho on it it still hauls *** has a 4.3 vortec full load every option under the sun GF loves the seat warmer lol

Why not make ramps for the sides too ,then you can get the one in the front or middle without unloading every thing:thumbsup: Just make them slide along bottom rail :wink:

Ohhh, you got her fully loaded with all the options!

Yes, Felpro are good gaskets! They are well made! Better than OEM
