Hi all,

Proud new owner of a 1974 Boler here. My girlfriend and I just got it a few weeks ago. We took it out once already and really enjoyed it. Currently we are doing some work to it and plan to get out next week for a couple days. I will post some pictures of what we have as we fix it up.

Doug and Linda

The color scheme (both inside and out) is pretty cool. Did you do that or did a previous owner? Very retro, I really like it

Previous owner did the colour scheme. We are painting the interior walls though and the outside is part grey and part primer so we are going to paint the exterior. Probably white top grey bottom with a red pinstripe.

WOW! That is one custom trailer! Those have to be the largest windows and the largest bed I have ever seen in a 13' trailer.

Hey Doug, where are you from if you don't mind me asking? I swear I saw that one on kijiji up here in Canada a bit ago, but maybe I'm dreaming

Did you buy it off of kijiji? I'm in Winnipeg, and every now and then I search other city's kijiji for boler and such, just to see what's out there. And I swear I saw this one before. But again, maybe not...

Hi: Doug Arthurs... I thought I saw a Boler just like yours pushing a dark pickup truck through the LHSC Westminister Campus. I was driving the #6 Richmond bus at the time.

That would be where I bent the tongue jack. Darn construction. I will be welding up a riser plate to correct that and reinstall the jack this weekend.

What you might want to do is just take the jack off when pulling.

I had to start doing that on a cargo trailer for the same reason.

Well here is my tongue jack repaired. I made up a plate to fit the jack with a 2" lift. Then I cut another inch off the leg. I hope three inches is enough to clear driveways now.
