i have been thinking about this all night!! I can sell my trailer the way it is, which is pretty good, take back most of the parts for the cash, and sell whats left over, and be even with the trailer price.
now I normally never worry about fixing stuff my self, but right now I can't, so I must rely on others. And it is never as I want it when done! Just ask CB about some wire issues I am having. He is going to come by when he gets a chance to fix that mess a bit for me. You guys are right my time is worth alot to me and, buying a new to me trailer will be done in a few min.. But now I have to steal the mortgage money, and hope I can get rid of mine fast to make my payment on time? I am so confused!!

If it has you confused, fix what you already have with the parts you already have.(get a friend to help if you have to, it has to be put back together anyway to get it out of your yard:-) There will be other trailers, try to sell yours first (the improvements will help move the one you have for more $$). Don't put yourself in a bind over the gloss of a "new to you" trailer. Been there, done that, hope to never repeat.
Brakes under the OX would definitely be on my to do list. That is a lot of boat. On the other hand you have probably been without brakes for a while, just be careful.. I don't understand titles on motors and trailers, FL doesn't have it. Any way to get a title to the trailer you have?

i have never had brakes on any trailer!! the trailer i have now had them not working when i got it 5 years ago, and i never thought for a second that i would fix them. The new trailer has them but do they work? I don't care.
I took the springs off only one side of mine so far, not to hard to fix it the rest of way on that side. i can return the other parts and sell as is or give new buyer option to buy the rest for himself? the big thing is no title, lots of talk about trailer reg going in affect , then i screwed if no have one! i will go look and see, can't hurt right??

What's this about new trailer regs???
I've got a buddy with a 25' SeaRay stranded at a Dick's marina in Bourne. Bad engine and no trailer. He might be interested in your old one. What are you looking for $$$ wise. If it is apart now I could put it back together.

the old trailer had a broken leaf spring, so i bought all new ones, but only manged to get the broke side fixed. but i do have the other stuff for the other side but i not doing it! has good tires on it and the rollers and fenders are all ok. i bought all new hubs that i am going to return as there is nothing wrong with the old ones, but they use lug bolts instead of lug nuts which make it a huge pain in the a$$ to change tires!
Trailer is in real good shape really just thought i get l leagle and update some. I bought the new trailer above today and hoping to get it swamped out tomorrow? what you thinking on your buddy?? whats he want to spend?? maybe we can do a deal? call me 508 360 1468 thanks

Like I said, his boat has been in storage at Dick's and they say it needs a complete I/O repower. He is not real boat wise and I think they are trying to take him for a ride considering it ran when put away. I told him I could take a look at it and see what was really wrong with it. I was going to unload my boat and go pick his up to work on it at my house. A trailer wasn't on his radar screen but it would save me a lot of work and even if he decides to sell the boat he could probably get his money back on the trailer. Ballpark what are you looking to get? <> $1000?
