Put some vinyl gloves on and COAT your leafsprings and axle/axles in grease. Thank me later. Repeat every year amd never buy them again. Grease is alot cheaper than trailer parts.

Thanks for the advice on the trailer, but I will be selling it as I do not have a vehicle to pull it, or a place to store it. It's currently listed on Fort Myers Craigslist. Fortunately, I will have the boat about four feet above the water on a lift.

KEEP the trailer, you will thank us later. Storms do kick up down there, and it is nice to be able to trailer your boat to get it to safety. Even if you have to rent a truck to do it, it's better than not having it. Don't know of naybody offhand as that area is 3 hours away from me.

first time a cat 3-4 rolls through, you'll find that 4 ft is not quite the safety margin you thought it was.

i understand it's no good to you if you have no way to store it or pull it, but it will be an invaluable asset one day.

You'll need that trailer again. See if you can make friends with a good ol' boy and keep the trailer at his place.

Like Phat said too, you can take her to the Keys, the east coast, etc. within a short drive from there.
