Checked the others and all the seals are eat up by rusted spindles. So I need 2 axles, 4 hubs, 4 springs, and a couple new cross members because they are rusted out. Also need a new tonque .

Sounds more like you need a new (Good used) trailer. By the time you invest in the parts and labor to repair your present one it might just be cheaper to find a good used one. Winter is getting nearer, and some boats didn't make it through the summer, but their trailers did. Good buys can be had. Also, check Boat Angel in eBay. They always have project boats that people donate for peanuts, and a lot of times they have decent trailers on under them... buy the boat and scrap it and keep the trailer...
