Started my trailer rebuild today

[phatdaddy]

i would fix what you have with what you got & move on. i promise you, the new to you trailer will not have new parts & the one you rebuild will.

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?

I'm just on my out the door for daughter's birthday party. Left a message for my friend.

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?

[macojoe]

you right on the money!! let me know much better to sell a boat on trailer for sure!

if he is ok with the lug bolts instead of lug nuts, all that needs to be done are one side leaf springs and not in a hurry, and i will give him the two springs, and u bolts.

Talked to my pal. He agrees getting a trailer is a good idea whatever he decides on the boat. I'll give you a call.
