Have any of you....
Found a cool tongue jack for a flatty trailer..? I've googled and all you really find is the std junk...I thought maybe some of you have found something cool and made it your own....I'm tired of using a jack when I get home from the lake...and the trailer falls off the jack as your pushing it back...I'm over it!
Mike build a big caster with a mini-bike wheel and tire that slides into a pipe or square tube with a pin.
You can make one for Pat and charge him twice the price which gets you one for free.

If ya dont find me handsome you might find me handy
I don't have a photo but I'm sure someone here does...check out Van Beenan's Litchfield trailer.
Nobody makes them. Start designing a cool one and be known for something other than straight line graphics, santa suits and midwest style boat trailers.
cool idea...but it won't jack it up..
Hey boner...I never built a tall trailer...KIRK WARTMAN builds tall trailers...just sayin..Nobody makes them. Start designing a cool one and be known for something other than straight line graphics, santa suits and midwest style boat trailers.

We take the base of a desk chair cut chair off and mount a 2" ball to it with a hose clamp. Just have to find the right kind of computer chair.

wtf????
We use the wheels on the base of a computer chair to wheel the boat around it works perfect.

Balance the boat on the trailer where you can pick it up....Armstrong brand....get after it!
Mike, Couple ways to do it easily;
I have a MACTool jack with a jack cup that has a large hole and it fits a 3/4" thread Hitch ball right into it. I just pop the cup out and put the ball in and use it that way. If you dont have a BIG HOLE....
Get a 2" BALL hitch with the 3/4" thread (or smallest avail) and then drill a hole in the jack cup.... or
Cut off the thread and weld the ball to the cup

Jamestown distributors has a aluminum jack that's capacity is 1600 pounds. If u wanted to make it your own take a piece of 1/4 inch aluminum plate and make a cradle that would fit the triangle part of the toung underneath and drill a hole that the jack would slide in and tig it together . When u use it set it underneth jack it up and u could push the trailer around and when u hook it up you could remove it . Hope it makes sense.
