yep i think im going to get a new trailer
i have a 1978 ezloader that was brought to my attention by my son its time to get one
i was at the ramp with my new masterlock electric winch when the boat rolled back and the cable came out of the winch
[DONT GET A MASTER LOCK FROM WALMART THEY REALLY REALLY SUCK]
im standing there looking at my trailer and its held together with bungee cords duck tape plastic ties and it still needs work
anyone know in new jersey how much it would cost single axle with no brakes and a good place to get one
my trailer still is ok but after 30 years time for a change
i look like an idiot at the ramp turning this and holding that not very profetional and im doing this for about 20 years its embarrasing

I would look on Craigslist, find a good used one pretty cheap.

hey Step do you keep your boat in the water there?
or are you keeping it on the trailer in one of the yards like Blackfoot Marine or the Highlands itself?
Curious because if I do something would love to do the same, costs?

I reccommend two axles and trailer brakes for safety.
