I need to build a new boat dolly for my 2011 180 SS for storage in my boathouse. Has anyone in the forum built one for a 180? Any suggestions or plans?

I would look to your trailer, to get the angles and spacing for the bunks. That would be my starting point.

What material are you using for it?

Why not do what the boat yards do? Unless I am missing some thing? Two blocks of wood under the keel with 2 boat stands. Much easyer, and less costly I would think.

If you have a local boat trailer mfr, they can easily weld up a "cradle" and you would be good to go....or, you could see where your local dealer gets them from...it might be a couple dollars more than building yourself, but it sure would be simple.

Unfortunately I do not have a trailer builder located in the vicinity. I will use my trailer as the starting point for my plans. If I can I will use galvanized for the material. I did ask the local dealer, but they don't sell the dollies, only the lifts. A lift would be much easier, but I want the boat out of the elements as soon as I done boating. Thanks for the comments and questions!
