Title: Floater bar ???
Post by: 83miller on August 04, 2008, 05:51:03 AM

Im not happy with the set up of my trailer for the bow of the boat. I want to change to a "floater bar" method but just wondering if there is a company that sells them or is everyone just making their own?

I asked a similar question a while back and Brad posted up a picture of a great custom made one

I have a 79 miller and i think we have the same trailer, it was one of the first things i changed. i made one my self, it's nothing fancy but it works way better than what it came with.
