Nice video, well done and you and kiddo work well together.

I subscribed because I have 2 sons and I remember trying to find things to do with them that would be educational and fun. You really hit the mark with this endeavor! Congratulations.

Great job, thanks for sharing online. I'm in the process of designing supports for my trailer to carry my 10' 10"" Mirror dingy. Your video will certainly help me design one to suite my boat. Thanks from Australia.

Was a revelation when I first discovered stepped drill bits as a backyard / weekend warrior doing welding projects.

What was the wall thinkness of the 12' box channel you bought? And was 12' the right length? If you did it again, is 12' the right length? Thanks!

Part Deuce!

Awesome job .I just bought a Phantom.They said it was a sunfish.Your Video makes me feel excited to sail it.Growing up me and my brother sailed sunfish and laser.Thanks!!!!

The dreaded two-piece drill bit. 😳

I just purchased a 1984 Compac 19 as my first sailboat and this was helpful. I haven't taken it out yet, it's on the trailer where I'm going to practice raising the mast and rigging. You mentioned the owner's manual. I've been scouring the internet looking for one to no avail. Is yours in digital format? I would love a copy.

Just built one. I laminated wood to extend the tongue, I think it will work. The question is, where do you get the box tube?

In regards to the initial silence after the drill bit snapped in half, I felt your pain brother 😂

Just a suggestion, but when raising the sails, one should raise the main first, then the jib. When lowering, take down the jib first, then the main.

omg the sealant is not an adhesive, so it is not very tenacious

Great job man!

Very nice job👍

Can't believe you let him drill with short sleeves!

I was also looking to modify a HF trailer for a Sunfish, but since I have a welder, it should be a simpler job. No holes to drill!

Great to see you out with your son enjoying his boat. You both did a great job together!!!

Really enjoyed your trailer build. Great Dad!

Great patience my friend

What specific varnish did you use? How many coats? Did you sand between coats and with what/grit? Would that work on exterior teak on a sailboat?

How do I get that 11 inch steel post?

Looking good ...did you have your drill on the lowest speed ? This usually helps prevent breaking bits

Hey sir, I just scored one fo these for 150$. I am VERY confused about the spars. Theres 1 black ring attacked to the two aluminum spars, it looks like it fits over the black spar that steps into the boat. Are there supposed to be more? If so, what are these things called?

A good place to get graded bolts is at a farm supply store. I'm not sure what's in your area. They usually cary metric and standard bolts for tractors and farm equipment. Good call on beefing up the tong material. Those harbor freight trailers are cheap for a reason.

Nice job with your son 👍

I wish you learned welding... I am getting ready to make similar to this, welding would help in some parts of the build

This is a drilling lesson video🤣

What kind of metal did you use for the tongue? Awesome video.

Your starting the drill too fast, you need a much slower speed than drilling wood.

Great video! Where did you get the tongue stand? Looks a lot more convenient than a jack for a smaller trailer

Is someone Highland dancing inside the house at 9:21?

Omg if I was building this I know the SAME issues would happen to me 😂 way to keep at it and not get frustrated 👍🏼

Exactly what I was looking for. Our 5hp Tohatsu needs minor maintenance (impeller & lower unit oil change) but I'm not going to haul my Catalina 25 just to pull the outboard. Instead, I'll back into the slip as you have done, tie off a safety line and get a strong dock neighbor to help get it onto the dock. It's a little heavier than yours and my replacement 6hp that I'll put back on the boat is even heavier. Thought I might have to rent some kind of hoist, but I think this is doable. Thanks for posting the video!

Thanks for the idea. I have a small sailboat with no trailer also, how does it pull?

The best time to inspect a sailboat is when it is raining.

Did anyone else notice the squirrel @01:31?

I had a lil sail boat like that fun boat's

A big thumbs up on the instructive nature of this video. Very helpful!

Hi Thank you for posting this. Did the fittings come apart as easily as shown on the video? If Not how to remove the outer tube which isstuck on mine without damaging the tube?

what a smart kid :) well done the both of you!!

wonderful to see I´m not the only one -making mistakes- learning as I go...

Heartwarming to watch a Dad with his budding sailor learn the "lines" in launching. Well done, Dad. He'll always remember helping you. You both have many sails ahead of you and you'll have the video for posterity's sake.

Hi. Just curious, to what max speed have you taken this trailer? Some "sellers" of this trailer state 45mph max but it seems many people are going beyond that with no issues. I want one, but not if it has any issues on the freeway, up to 65mph. Thanks

What year model is this?

When drilling metal, lube your bits with wd40, they brake because they get overheated, picture it as cutting glass or concrete with saw and water!

That repair looks great

Nice quick fix. What wood are you thinking of replacing it with? Or maybe fiberglass?

Where is the kid jacket.?

Thank you so much for this video from this Canadian
