Having built a trailer myself, that's definitely a project. I'm glad it came together for you.

[@FreeFormFlyFisher]

A man of many trades 👍🏾 Nice rebuild. Turned out really nice.

[@flowflyfishing2131]

Congratulations! Great job, thanks for sharing. I’m learning how to row too. Good luck

[@mattsflytying2816]

You did a great job buddy was a fun day fishing with you again

[@driftstone]

Hope there are many more adventures to come

[@daveschlom4033]

I got to benefit from all of Eric's hard work. It's a wonderful platform to fish from!

[@driftstone]

It was a fun project, I'm excited to get back to making videos and fishing more!

[@paulpohopien709]

Great job Eric! Been hearing about this all year and it must feel great to get the trailer/boat combo completed. Looks absolutely awesome and this will payout in your guiding 10x!

[@driftstone]

It's been super fun learning new tactics. The lower sac hasn't really given up many secrets for me yet. I hear it's fishing great this summer so I'll use that as my excuse. The trinity though...that's been super fun.

[@markfischer1012]

It’s alive , 😊 , Great job , may the fly fishing Gods bless your hard work,

[@driftstone]

Thanks for the good advice on the bracing!

[@pianomoverr]

Gotta love the commitment to stick welding

[@driftstone]

Gotta crawl first.

[@jacoblaurain8911]

Woah. Nicely done! Excited to see some adventures

[@colbymyers6278]

Nice setup! I didn’t realize you rebuilt that trailer. It turned out great. I was very impressed with how stable that raft is.

[@driftstone]

Ha yeah. I took another friend out who has a hard boat and he said the same thing. He's scheming for a raft now.

[@CA2CAoutdoors]

That came out really good!!!

[@driftstone]

Thanks!

[@moscaman559]

Nice job ….. enjoyed watching the build process 👍🏼

[@driftstone]

Thanks, something a little different :D

[@peterbrimhall6481]

Looks good!!

[@driftstone]

Thanks Peter! I need to get you some flies

[@giselleamador9084]

Can this trailer haul a blue velvet couch? 💙

[@driftstone]

Everything but a futon unfortunately :(
