You really got a lot accomplished this week, the LED's look dope!
I would add cross bracing from the main frame to the where you welded that transom hoop to so that way it has more rigidity to it. The bouncing over time could twist and weaken that rear cross beam. And add a diagonal support from outside corner of stair to the frame of trailer so if someone rams the bump stop it won’t bend the stairs forward. Other then that it came out awesome!
Read my mind. Transom needs more weld support. Great job on this build so far.
Agreed with above. I would also add a cap of tubing from the tube inside each stair you welded to the trailer. Think of a cross piece if it does not interfere with the center toon. This will drastically increase the stiffness of the stairs and stop the drooping evident in the video when you climbed them.
Don't forget a drain hole at the bottom of the upright stair support or it will fill up and rust
Why rebuild something the simple way when you can go ultimate? Love this build.
The trailer looks awesome and totally worth the wait. I only have one suggestion. Would it be worth connecting the two upright supports on the stairs for some additional strength and rigidity? Just a thought. Trailer looks killer!
Totally agree with that! I mean it is simple physics! Still think the build is awesome!
I concur, and also suggest maybe putting lights on the stairs and bump stops as well. Right now you don't really have a good indicator for where the stairs/stops are in the dark and your tail lights from your truck make the black stairs disappear. (At least on camera)
Plus, if you're going to be loading/unloading in the dark, wouldn't lights on the stairs help everyone get on and off?
I agree, maybe a round stock going from the outside corners of the step to the frame. I seen little bit of bounce it would sturdy them up a lot, especially sense those are bump stops as well.
I'm 44 years old and I wish I had a friend like you growing up.
Dude.. you should put led lights in the bump stops as well. Might make loading at night a little easier.. great job man it looks awesome ..
What am i missing here? Are you on the crack?
@@401Impala Not sure how to answer or take that to be honest..
Looks awesome! I’d probably add a horizontal bar to the top of each vertical stair mount post. It will make both sides stronger if you tie them together.
I'm a little worried about the torsion on that rear support, too. Zack does great work, but I think he's underestimated the stresses here.
@@rosstulloch8100 I agree. What he has done is sufficient if he only plans to drive down the block to the neighborhood boat ramp, but I'd be nervous about hitting any kind of bumps at highway speeds.
Suzuki 4-strokes are AWESOME!!
Looks awesome. Love the LEDs. I’d paint the new equalizers and the rims black to match, but otherwise no changes. I really like the double stairs at the bow. Looks great and will be double the functionality. You do a ton of work. Keep it up.
Great work dude!...love your content, respect from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
@ ultimate rebuilds. Since you made the winch post curved back, I’d add a bottom leg to it for more support. That winch will be pulling a lot of weight and now you are relying on the welds. The Welds are probably fine but the added support is piece of mind for the alteration.
Bolting a brace between the steps at the top if there is clearance from the center toon will improve the stability of the steps. Adding a brace between the handrails will strengthen them as well. I am enjoying your videos. keep up the good work
I might have put a few more lights on the sides of the trailer but you've got the trailer looking GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks great. The wiring looks like a/c colors for your house. Black is the load and white is the neutral.
I’m not a pontoon guy but I’m enjoying this build
The side mounts on the stairs could be connected for support. Lay a piece of that metal across the top and weld them in. Then they would support each other.
I love seeing a young man like you. Doing something so creative. With your time. God bless
I love how you go all out on your builds. It’s shaping up sweet as hell! Just two things though; I’d be concerned about the stairs not being properly supported and bending out and down over time. Also, I thought you shouldn’t attach/make contact between aluminum and steel. By no means am I am expert… just that I had heard or read that somewhere.
BEAUTIFUL work, this is awesome stuff
Black is definitely the right colour
wow, vry nice.. Luckily I followed u frm the beginning. U hve potential.. continue to grow.. keep it up.. from malaysian fans 🇲🇾
More pontoon videos!!!! Luv em
You sir are smart above your years!
You should make a custom off road trailer for the beetle!!!
Consider adding diagonal gussets from the inside side main frames to the inside of the rear crossmember to which the transom hoop is welded to. This will prevent the transom crossmember frame rail from twisting due to load on the cantilevered transom hoop.
Hope this makes sense.
I really think that one of your strengths is the trailer rebuilds. Each one has been done really well. You may want to think of doing custom trailers. Don’t know the market, but your trailer game is strong.
Your going to need a down gusset on your winch mount otherwise it will pull. It down!!! Looks good
dope idea with the stairs
Hey Zack, where you added the support on the back, you may want to add a transom saver, with where its mounted, coupled with the angle of transom saver, you can't go wrong, next time you have the toon on trailer, mock it up, you will see
Can't wait to see what you picked out for the seating!
Wow. When you do something, you really do it right. Great job
I enjoy your videos very much. Helped us rebuild a pontoon boat over the last year and a half. Wish you were in the northeast so you could rebuild a snowmobile. We could use the guidance! Thanks again, Matt from Boston.
Worth the wait. Assumed you’re busy when I didn’t see my sat morning video here in Australia 👍😊
You should put some LEDs around the base of the winch (and maybe the top of the bump stops) so you can see when you're nearing the bump stops, and so you can see the winch while using it at night. It probably won't take many LEDs at all to light it up enough.
Great job looks spot on
The structure is very helpful Thank you ^ ^
Brilliant set up!
Looks good 👍... maybe put some LEDs up on your bump stops so you're not ramming that center pontoon into the railings at night.
No rest for the weary. Love your work Zach
Maybe add a light near the wench or bump stocks to help aim at night and know the distance to slow down
Also grip tape or stair grip for the steps up
Looks great! Nice work.
I love those dual stairs.
12:26 The new box yoke you're installing looks more beefy than that T-beam cross member it's attaching to. Weakest link etc. Remember you're adding a cantilevered downward moment attached at the hollow face of the support. That T-beam is strong against force loading from its top but not so much against a torsion load applied from one side (the aft of the trailer) where you welded that box yoke thing plus whatever extra weight it is supposed to bear in turn. Plan to beef up that rear crossbar too.
The all black trailer looks great when you're done.
Zachary,your a machine,excellent job sir.Thankyou for sharing.
Love the videos bru! Big ups from Cape Town 🇿🇦
I just found this video- excellent job on the trailer and pontoon as well as all of the videos!!!
Looks great I’d probably ad a longitudinal support or two from the last most aft side to side frame to stiffen the most rear ad on you did and maybe a cross one in the front to tie the stairs together
Your work ethic is very impressive. You are not afraid of hard work. Keep at it !
I feel with all the extra weight you’ll be adding you’ll need to upgrade the axles wheels and suspension for a higher payload
agreed
The trailer looks very good. Black really does look good. For the stairs maybe weld a horizontal support between the two, on top of the vertical supports you already have in place. It would help tie them together, and provide more support to reduce flexing.
I am SUPER impressed with your videos...Great ideas, Great work ethics. Need more part numbers and links for items you use please.
Love your work brother keep it going
Great job so far!
You gots the skills! Looks amazing. I’m watching you work and all I can think is you are a machine. Fun to watch you kill these projects.
After watching jetski videos a couple days ago, the first episode of this boat rebuild series popped up on my recommended page. Im glad that I clicked on it, so interesting watching these videos! Keep up the great work man! :)
Something i always notice in your videos are the Florida skies. I grew up in Largo and spent some time in Jacksonville one summer during college. The skies there are just so much more vivid or something.
Keep up the great work! I'd love to update my bunks with some led lighting next time they need work.
Looks amazing 👏
Enjoy this very much. Only thing is I would add leds for the steps as well as the bump stops on each side. Another awesome build.
I love the outcome of your trailer. I wouldn't change anything ! Awesome job !
love this great work man!!!
The LED lights are frikin awesome! I love the newer boats that have them under the swim deck or under the entire boat - it's just cool as $hit too! Nice work!!!
Love your videos keep up the great work
WOW! Another incredible trailer rebuild and excellent wiring tutorial, as always, GREAT BUILD QUALITY...and it looks FANTASTIC, great content Zach!
Trailer looks great,love the videos,.
That looks suprisingly good. Great content
Awesome work man and good ideas. Love the double ladder and black paint job. I agree, black looks the best. Keep the videos coming, love watching them!
led lights on the bump stops and the stairs would be a cool addition
Looks great. If you are loading at night as often as you say, you should get small led strips for your deck stops also(or somewhere at the front_. It gives you a visual on how far you need to pull onto the trailer. We never has anything as cool as your bunk lights, but we always had lights at the winch. Nice job.
The lights r a awesome idea
I would put one of the LED strips on the outside on the exterior bunk if you can so people can see it as you drive down the road. I’m not sure if that’s possible, but definitely let’s you use your awesome lights more than just unloading and loading your boat
Looks GR8!!! May just have to do that to my boat bunks! Should make it a lot easier in the evenings or at night to load up!
The LED's look great, nice work.
A stripe of red down center of each bump stop woulda been cool
First time I've seen the light up bunks and I love it looks really cool and will make landing at night a little easier.
Great progress! Really like how it's shaping up. My family had a pontoon when I was younger and I absolutely loved it. Never thought about building a custom one until I found your channel.
Looks great, but the rear transom support needs 2 struts tied to the next crossbar forward to have strength, the stairs have been covered by others.
Lighting is cool a fuq bro, nice CUSTOM touch
Perfect brother and thanks
Very nice! You’re doing a great job. Thanks for sharing.
it looks sweet man. it looks like the stairs are a little flimsy if that's the right word lol... i was thinking if you add a piece of steel across the two vertical post you made for the stairs, that would stiffen them up a lot. either way hell of a job the trailer looks amazing
Stairs stiffens up when the boat is on it.
how good is this kid ..OMG congrats old mate
Love watching you work.great channel
Great built brother. Looking forward to the final product
This is sweet, man.
That looks good dude
The magic at 6:04! Lots of work went into that little 1 inch jump!!
Looks great!
Id definitely box those stairs in a bit more, there is quite a bit of flex in the stairs.
Awesome job!!!!!!
Lots of hard work
Only suggestions is to add gussets to the back section. It would help tie in strength horizontally vs all vertically and I am sure you thought of adding grip tape to the steps. Looks great!
Looks awesome 😎
Nice work! You do a nice job not cutting corners and getting it done correctly! I love the first pontoon with the bar and captain helm. I thought about doing one myself but thought it might be easier to put a sign on the side saying "Look at my cool bar, please pull me over" Looking fwd to party boat 2.0
Always hard at work man. Great job! 👍🏼
Beautiful! Congratulations!
Excellent job 👌👍👌
Looks great
Great idea on the front of the trailer Zach! You really have a mind for engineering!
The trailer looks absolutely awesome! I think I followed your explanation of the trailer bunk lights - I might add some LED lights on the rails of my utility trailer. I look forward to the Friday videos but this past Friday I was working late and wouldn't have had time to watch it anyhow so today was perfect!
Nicely done! Those LED strips would look awesome on the underside outer edge of the pontoon deck.
Hold that thought... LOL
Looks good! I would make some side bunks. It will help out tremendously with loading the boat on those windy days.
