Great job and thanks for posting the pictures. Did you have to extend the tongue on the trailer to accomadate the length of the Pro Angler? I live in New Jersey and you have to put a red flag on anything that sticks out more the 24inches off the back of the trailer. Thanks again Bruce |

Bruce: Not sure of your question. I cut the old tongue off and put a completely new tongue from front to rear. I did make it longer to accommodate the opening of my tailgate on my Suburban. As for the rear, I am going to move the light to the end of the trailer which, I think would take care of your New Jersey Law. Hope this helps |

Bruce: I went to a local Metal Shop "Alro Metals Plus" Winter Springs, FL and had cut to my size. The Steel was cut from: 2 1/2 X 2 1/2 7 Gage Wall Tubing at 16 foot. Additionally, I bought the same at 4 foot and welded it across the rear area as you can see in my photos. I am now able to just pull the PA to the rear and either sit on the wheel/cart and then roll it off or direct to the ground. Hope this helps! |

Hello Airborne: I trained in 89 the SETAF Parachute team in Vecinza for 3 months! What a great trip that was... My Custom Covers are $250.00 I can do them in just about any color of CORDURA NYLON to include some great custom Camo colors. I am currently working on 4 as we speak! Let me know my friend.
