[PSUBS-MAILIST] Trailer Wars Part 2: K-250 Trailer Extension Testing Report

[David Colombo via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Steve,
Great Job. are you leaving the extensions on your deck trailer, or did you
create a saddle for them to sit in? One thought on the skid wheel is to
make so that it can swivel in the event that you are turning when it is
contact with the ground.

Best Regards,
David Colombo
