My trailer has replaceable spindles, 5 bolts to remove and bolt a new one on if it gets damaged, no more replacing the axle.....

Thanks everyone for all the advise. Good stuff. I think I know how to do and what I’m going to do know. Going to pick up 4 of the prefab L brackets and mount a stainless 49” x 15 x 15 box nearly level with the bottom of the trailer frame (not hanging lower. It’ll be mounted opposite of the spare tire so no dual tires. I still have to see if my south Florida trailer is a bolt on spindle or solid. Then I’ll figure out the spindle situation.

What boxes are those? I mounted mine in the exact same spot, but mine are side opening and one of them leaks anytime it gets into the water. I want to swap them both for top opening boxes like that.

I did see that one. It's just not high enough. I think the only way is to have someone custom make one. I like these set ups. I think it would be beneficial to not have to crawl up onto the swimstep to get on the boat while it's on the trailer.

That Sport trail one looks cool.

Years ago, on OSO, I saw a pic of a ladder attached to the swing arm of the outdrive guard part of trailer. I thought that was cool if someone has this type of trailer..
