So I found this nasty old aluminum boat and trailer on CL for cheap and I'm considering buying it to turn it into a shallow/long covered trailer for work (flooring installations). The trailer would be ideal in length 14' (I need 12' minimum for rolls of vinyl) and my hope is that it will be light enough for my Festiva to haul around with a medium load (1,000 lbs or so). Any thoughts?
