Bass Boat Trailer Project

- Although portable, the Intruder12X3 proved to be too much to move around without a trailer. In this video, I turn an 8ft utility trailer into a 12ft boat trailer. Now I'm ready to travel around with my new 3 engine bass boat!

Hey Marty. When your attacking your chains to your truck make sure you cross them under the tongue. That way if the trailer pops off the ball it’ll catch the tongue. Awesome trailer!
Marty got his numbers for his plastic boat with 3 tiny motors wooowooo go Marty ! All jokes aside that thing is sweeeeeet!
Visited Marty this week and saw both the trailer and the 3 engine boat. You really can’t appreciate his engineering and fabrication skills until you see them in person. Unbelievable.
Glad to see that good ol’ Ford Ranger of yours. They’re good trucks.

You are not normal Marty. That's why we love you!
your attention to detail always amazes me and is great. it’s always nice to see people paying attention to correct towing standards as well. Nice work!
I love how you're totally aware of how you're gonna edit while you're filming it. A true professional and entertainer! 😎👍

You don't know how foreign that concept is for us down under!!!
And your steering wheel is on the wrong side!
Another great video. I have a old Harbor Freight 1 ton tilt bed trailer, that works with my 14 foot flat backed canoe, I used a 3/4" X 4' X 8' sheet of plywood on it, the front of my canoe runs almost to the hitch, to get a good tongue weight.
I love the attention to detail. Sanding rough edges and painting for appearance....superb....
Love the wall to wall carpeting on the trailer deck.... you could rent it out to sunbathing babes while you are fishing....
Add a good power wench (cable) to the tongue....
Thank you for explaining trailer weight. This is one of the most import things that always gets tossed to the side.
We need a reactions video of people's faces when you show up to the local public boat ramp with the 3X Intruder.
Roger That!
The world needs to see you build an aluminum boat. TBN might have some competition if you ever decided to.
What an original guy!
Wow Marty. Great job
👍👍👍👍👍
Pure talent! Awesome to watch. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen a build. Used to love the kayak builds so this was a little throwback. 👍🏻
Good to see the dogs again and see they are doing well
Another great project in the books! I love watching these things come together. The attention to detail and style is fantastic. Awesome job, Marty!
Nice video. Love your puppies. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Really tied the room together
Zofinger the best in Fishing Equipment DIY nice work 👍 Dude thats the best DIY trailer ive seen so far,
I live in snow country and love all things winter and have never really been into boating but your videos make me see why people love the water so much. Keep up the great content!
Another great build and video from Marty
Love it Marty, you did a awesome job. You are so creative. Can’t wait to see it on the water
No Sh*t.
You even color comped your tie-down straps to match your theme.
Mastery.!!
Great build! I love watching you create
hi Zoffinger i wanted to say you should get a thick piece of rubber that you can bend and connect the plate . to the trailer so when you hit the water it will bend so you don't bend you plate.
Another awesome project. Thanks for sharing!
When you drill through steel like that make a pilot hole first (maybe 1/4in) and use oil. Then run the final bit through. Saves your bits and its much easier
Yes, and make sure you're using bits rated for steel and not destroying your wood bits (I learned that the hard way).
Evan Doyon also slow down the drill! Pressure and slow rpms are your friend!
Jon Marsh depends on drill bit size. A rough rule of thumb is the larger the bit, the slower the speed.
Highstranger951 I agree completely!
Water is better...cuts better and is free...plus no mess after..try it..
Looks like a mini drug go fast boat, LOL !!
You never amaze me on you great ideas. Great job on the trailer. Be safe God bless
Thank you for another great video!
Great Video! The attention to detail is amazing! And it works great!
You could flip the hinges for extra support across the frame. I'm sure it's solid already with the 4x4 and 2x6 but it was just a thought if it starts to sag.
Awesome video Marty. This gave me some ideas for the kayak trailer I built last summer.
That’s coolest little boat
Wow, you made that heavy duty. Have the same trailer. I modified it to carry a Sunslider peddle boat.
How much did the trailer cost you?
Man I really enjoy how freaking smart you are. 😉 Good job man.
These builds are amazing please continue to build more
Great little build!
I’ll be visiting you one of these days! My friend lives on 13th NW like right down the road from you! Well just have to go out on my flats boat!
Another amazing project
Love these projects. Could come in handy as I try to make a kayak trailer.
Hi there I have a little experience with trailers and a kayak is just way too light and a horrible driving experience. It will just bounce around and be annoying
This is awesome Marty.
Tapping Oil the the greatest thing in the world of metal drilling, It prevents immense wear on the bit and makes the bit cut faster.
I was impressed with you scrutinizing tongue weight. When you tested gravity down the ramp....that was priceless!😂
Sweet build! Do you think the weight of the motors bouncing down the road will cause problems with the transom?
Incredible! love it!
you should also include a winch. It will add some weight to the front and be helpful when retrieving your boat.
Love this channel your OCD and precision is satisfying
I built a trailer recently for my kayak and I didn't know about tongue weight until now lol thanks Marty 🤙
The 10% on the tongue helps to prevent trailer sway or what people in the RV World would say tail wagging
And......perfect roll out!!! Nailed it!!! :P
Great build.
(Trailer is a little light in the front)
Anyone other than Marty: add weight to the front
Marty: redesign the entire trailer
No, Marty did it the right way, move the undercarriage back. Just adding weight to the front is definitely the WRONG way to do it.
Chris A Lol clearly. It’s called a joke. Most people are way too lazy to correct a homemade trailer the proper way let alone balance it at all.
@@Chris-hx3om why? balanced is balanced..
@@Artoconnell Because adding weight increases the GVM, which impacts everything else. And here's a tip to you and anyone else who thinks just adding weight to the front is ok. If you aren't willing to build it correctly, don't build it at all.

Thata BAD ASS dude!
your videos are always a fun thing to watch wishing you a fantastic 2020
Hi Marty. I wish you a very happy, healthy and succesful new year. All the best.
They are really good trailers I got one and I love it so much much recommended
Nice!!! Thanks for sharing 👍👍 Happy New Year Marty! Best wishes for Big fishes🐟+🎣=😁
Nice video Marty! Happy New Year!
Awesome! You inspire me to keep making youtube videos!
Great build Marty!! Happy New Year!!!
Dude you are amazing!
Awesome video zoffinger, looking forward to one day coming to your shop and personally meeting the legend himself 👍
Cool dogs!
Absolutely love the video
These are my favorite videos. I want your life!
My fiancé and I just passed you on the interstate carrying your boat, cool to see ya! 🤩
Man i cant wait to have my own garage!
Good job
I can only imagine the looks/questions and compliments you will get hauling that boat around and using it. Great project Marty!
Masonry bits will drill that metal easier. Less dulling of your good bits too.
Dude i freaking love your videos and all of your creations it gives me really good ideas of things to create and a good idea of how to do it. and i love the fact that you casually drive a stick too. i love my 5 speed f150.

One suggestion. Make sure you keep the wheel bearings greased on those harbor freight trailers or replace them with better bearings. I built the same trailer into a boat trailer for my little 9 foot boat and the wheel bearings come with it are horrible. I also put bearing buddies on the hubs. Easier to grease.
Cool project, only issue i see is the higher the trailer the further into the water you have to go. Luckily the boat is light so its not much of a problem..
Marty overbuilds everything I love it
And if you decide to add a battery and trolling motor on the bow, your frame is pre-drilled to slide the axle forward again. Thanks for sharing!
Glad to see another new video
Saw you putting your straps in front of the boat cleats. I'd probably strap them down right behind it just as insurance to keep it from sliding off.
Me and my little one love the video.
And, exactly why I need to leangthen the tounge on my trailer and move my boat ahead 2 foot.
I bought my boat for 250 bucks and put 6k into it to restore her, it's on the trailer that it came on still.
It's a 1977 Regal Royal 240. 24' cabin cruiser powered by a 351w sbf and pre Alfa out drive. Factory spec sheet says she weighs 5500lbs with no gas or equipment. Add 90 gallons of gas, 3 marine batteries ,all your fishing gear,coolers and what not,plus I put a large teak swim platform on and the boat weighs in at around 6700lbs with no one on board. The trailer weighs around 1000 empty. So, I have 7700lbs as it sits,and you can walk over and lift the tounge up ,I'd say maybe 120lbs tounge weight tops, luckily I pull her behind a 96 f350 quad cab dually, so it doesn't really effect how the truck handles,but it's hard on the hull with 3' of the stern hanging past the rear most rollers. My problem is that whomever had the boat before replaced the trailer with one that's only for about a 20' hull. No big deal to fix it though, cut the tounge, sleeve it and add a longer tube,weld and done.
Cool video Marty, but I don't think anyone other than you has that much free time to build a trailer like that.
Wow Zoff with those three gas-sipping gph small-hp engines, you can go really all day very far.
Running one at a time, going for long day outing and trolling too.
Mad genius strikes again! Love it!
If God tells me to build a Ark , I'm hiring Marty !
It's gonna be a good year, thanks Marty!
With that flat long plywood surface, and the air trapped under it - with passing trucks and cars throwing an air wake, that whole boat and trailer could easily fly going down the highway. Think proper load would be 60% of load weight in front of the axle, but yeah, 10 - 15% is usually spoken on regular cheapo ball hitch type trailer hitches.
So awesome
Thanks for the visit today! Yes, that was me. Lol
If I can make a recommendation for your next project: Adding a small/RC size jet propulsion system to a kayak. Shouldn't take but a few hours.
Don't worry about painting the porous wood. That cheap chinese steel will rot away long before that wood after a few dunks in the salt water. I might have looked for a cheap used little galvanized jet ski trailer. Nice job on the construction though.
this is so cool :)
The boat build and trailer build were rad! And the first run on the lake was really great. But I sure was hoping to see more content on this boat!! Do you have other videos were it you were using it?
Wow nice
Did you forget a trolling motor? Maybe you don't need one. I just saw the mounting place on the front of the boat and thought the motor and battery could take care of the tongue weight you needed.
Hey Marty, great project as always! One question though. I didnt see any transom savers under the outboards. Wouldn't they be necessary, especially with a plastic boat?
I wish I could come visit you and fish.
You do great. I have to find me some of that what you call starboard.
@zoffinger I just recently discovered your channel as I was looking for ways to create a DIY raised seat and outrigger setup. I have a Perception Access 9.5 that I'm fairly certain I have a seat design for that will work, but the outrigger will present a significantly greater challenge due to lack of space because of the molded back rest. I wonder how you might go about designing an outrigger for my kayak. I was thinking of something along the lines of spring loaded retractable gullwing style outriggers, that when lowered, would clip firmly into place on a bracket mounted to the kayak, and when released from that bracket, spring back into an upright position.
I enjoy watching your videos. I was just wondering around about what the cost of the boat was to make .A estimate.
Great craftsmanship and video. But isn't that metal trailer gonna rust like crazy in salt water?
I am still experiencing “chilly mornings” and Christmas is far from approaching
