Thistle Trailer Pictures

These pictures are taken of the second trailer that was built at the same time that I built my trailer. It only has a primer coat on it right now. It is also shown in a glorious coating of Northwest rain.

On this trailer The bottom of the V has been flatten off to increase ground clearance. The other trailer that I built at the same time will get this modification.

The back tub helps stabilize the middle of the trailer and serves to catch the centerboard if it is dropped while traveling. I normally remove the board when on the road.
