Small blocks of wood (2X4) under each corner; should take care of that? The whole purpose of this trailer/hut, is that it comes home with me at the end of the day. I don't care how comfortable a hut is; I'm not sleeping in it over night. My fat a$$ will be in my recliner, watching the 60" TV in the rec-room. The hut will be in the lane-way with the on-board charger plugged in; getting ready for our next venture out. LOL Dan.

Yes Sir you are correct. Dan.

Yeah I have the winches on the bench waiting to go on the frame. Dan.

Yes if you were only using it as a trailer. But I'm using this as my snowmobile trailer to get to the lake. Once there the trailer is hooked to the snowmobile and it is now my fish hut; that the frame can be dropped down onto the ice. Dan.

Sure as long as the trailer is no wider then 8' 6" it's legal. Plus everything I've installed so far is DOT approved. Oh yeah one other thing; I'm a licensed safety inspection station for cars and trailers; so I'm pretty sure it'll pass inspection. LOL Dan.

Fingers crossed. Dan.

I''m building the sub frame and axle assembly from scratch; with parts I was able to get at Princess Auto. I haven't added up the cost? I think the stub axles were the most expensive single items at $120. each. The rest is just rectangle 2X3" tubing that I'll weld up.

I'm changing up the axle on the fish hut/snowmobile trailer I built last year. Looking around the net, I found this vid of what I'm kind of building; axle wise. But it's the first song on the vid that makes me want to post it. At least I thought it was suiting for a fishing board? LOL Dan.

A friend just sent this video and I thought it would be nice to share here? Dan.

Princess Auto has them on sale until Dec.11th. $65.00 http://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/3-500-lb-electric-brake-assembly/A-p8212078e Dan.

You have to remember that this $88.00 price tag, is an OFC members price. And it's not a bad looking steely? Dan.

I don't care who you are that's just funny!!!! LOL Dan. PS: B & Terry. When can I join the old (good) guys team?

^^^ Classy response. Dan.

Great thread. Keep the suggestions coming. Have fish hut will travel. LOL Dan.

Then we wonder why people don't post reports. Man I'd love a batch of beer battered deep fried pike. Nice haul. Dan.

I wouldn't be going on any ice; not until I see the local hut operators set up and running. Dan.

I know this is used stuff but check out Habitat for Humanity? When I put together an outside kitchen on my covered deck; I found solid oak upper cabinets that looked all but new. I paid $300. for 11' of cabinets. Dan.

Really? It looks sheltered and I thought it would (during a proper winter) freeze up solid? Good to know Thanks. Yes I will PM you if/when we have ice; you ever do any guiding out there? Heated shack and all the dogs & burgers you can eat. LOL Thanks guys. Dan.

There's as many different bolt patterns, rim diameters, widths and off sets as there are makes, models and sub models of vehicles. Learn what's on your different vehicles and forget about the rest. I've been in the trade 30 plus years and I still don't know even half of the differences between rims/wheels. Dan.

I have never fished Bay of Quinte and would like to give it a try this winter; when we hopefully get some "safe" ice. I don't know the area at all; so I have no clue as to what area to head to or where there is access points where I can park my truck? My snowmobile trailer is also my fish hut, when I get to the lake; I can strap the skies to the wheels and haul the hut around with the sled. So if anyone can make a few suggestions for access points I would be very appreciative. This is what I'll be hauling around; but it'll be laying on the ice when I put the new drop axles on it. Dan

I can get you new steel black rims; 17" X 7" for $88.00 each, plus tax. I would normally sell those rims for $111.50 and the Manufacturer's suggested list is around $150.00 Let me know if your interested in coming to London? Dan.

My wife calls Princess Auto the men's Avon type store; get me in there and I have to buy something. LOL It's not always the best quality of stuff; but for things I may only use once or twice a year; they make it affordable to buy. Dan.

The first Ling that I caught, I almost lost it at the hole; expecting a pickerel and then seeing that ugly thing. My buddy said it looked like I reset the hook again; but not just with the fishing rod, my whole body as I jumped back away from it. LOL Slug-shot the poor bugger three feet into the air. Dan.

Good to know. Nothing worse then buying something and then unknowingly have to rework it to make it usable. Dan.
