NVN: OK I get the picture. Incidently, what was the reason for reducing the bolt size in your last message. Thanks again PJM

NVN: I thought I had replyed back this morning, but something must have happened. This is what I was looking for and I thank you very much. The only thing I might think about changing would be to replace the top plates with one triangular shaped plate covering both i-beams and the area between...

NVN- Thanks this looks simple enough -I appreciate your taking the time to look into this for me. PJM

NVN: Thanks for the help, I've learned more from you than anyone else. Appreciate it. PJM

NVN: If I understand you correctly, the moment of inertia would be in regard to the vertical stresses on the I-Beam?? Because this is a tandem axle trailer, the weight at the cut point is only about 150lbs and because the trailer is so well balanced there is very little vertical stress as...

NVN: Measurements are as follows: I-Beam h1-5.535" Channel h2-trimmed to 4.951" from 5" b1-3.485" b2-trimmed to 1.642" from 2" tw1-.20" tw2-.281" tf1-.292...

Ok: Just walking out the door so I will get this info to you early next week

Ok Idea is to cut at pencil line, unbolt the u-bolt at the end of the 3x3 tubing, and remove the whole front end of the trailer including winch and wheel jack for the winter. In summer reassemble by sandwiching the i-beams between two pieces of channel on either side of each beam and bolted...

Ill try to send some more pics shortly but at least we are on the same page now. Thanx

Hi guys: Been away for a few days (trying to find a hack saw) Anymore new ideas?

How about traveling 5 miles at 30MPH. Look at the photo, the boat barely fits so there is only one place to cut and that is behind the winch where the beams start to flare out and head back to where the boat is supported. I agree that the whole package is being held with one receiver pin and in...

Thanx guys. In certainly open to suggestions

OK: Thanks for the input, I've enjoyed the joust

Boat can't go forward enough even with the winch removed mainly because the leg at the back hits the trailer. If I remove the leg, I still have a problem because the beds are designed to support the hull in that position and the hull would then not be properly supported. Ready to cut the i-beams...

Yes even diagonally, that's what I was trying because it minimizes the height requirement. If you get this pic you can see that I have to cut just behind the winch sort of in line with the bow of the boat. The 2x2 seen running down the middle would be unbolted from the crosssmember and pull out...
