Couple of posts about trailer repairs here have got me thinking about mine… It’s in pretty bad shape, and I’ve been putting off doing anything about it for too long. It’s a tandem axle, aluminum frame, mostly galvanized other parts (“Performance” brand, don’t think they exist anymore but most of the components seem to be standard Tie Down Engineering stuff anyway) with torsion axles. Basically everything on the trailer could probably stand to be replaced other than the frame and maybe the lights, but definitely needs at least one new bunk, axles/spindles/hubs, brakes (long gone!), and probably tires. One of the fenders is tied on with bailing wire in the front - sweeet!
Yeah, I know, its a POS and I’m stupid for still using it… so is it going to be more cost effective to just buy a new (or good condition used?) trailer or repair the one I’ve got? (boat is 20’ and prob about 2600 lbs dry with motor) Any suggestions for repair shops and/or dealers? Thanks!
