Hey all,
Recently picked up an 1988 22’ angler and first thing I have to attack are the rotten bunks and brackets on my Pacific trailer. Frame is galvanized and in good shape but hardware is another story.
The only replacement brackets (also galvanized), I can find are U-bolt post with a swivel head. Figuring the boat is just under two tons, the concern is the single 1/2” bolt that connects the swivel head. I will have a total of (8) brackets for the two center boards and (6) brackets for the outside runners. Question is, are the (14) 1/2” connecting bolts enough to support the weight. Seems like a week spot
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
