We grew up together down here at Gloucester Point. He moved up to Mathews about 20 years ago. I cant remember the name of his road....he works for Gloucester County, hangs out down at the marina on weekends...he can suck the bottom out of beer can faster than anyone!

Picked up a tandem axle trailer today. Needs some work but I only paid $200 for it. It's pretty solid other than some rust on the fenders and some of the hardware. Also needs some rollers and I'll probably replace the springs as they are pretty rusted. It's made by Calkins and seems to have a unique roller setup that I've never seen before. The guy I got it from bought it brand new and it was bought for his V-20. Unfortunately his boat got hung under a dock at low tide and sank so he has no need for the trailer any more. He said it was the easiest loading trailer he's ever owned so hopefully with just dumping a few bucks in it I'll have a nice trailer and I'll just sell Big Red. I'll post some pics soon.

I had a Calkins trailer that came with my Grady. If it has this roller setup check those u shaped frames for rust really well. The front one on mine was rotted bad from the inside out and cracked on me. Mine was also a 1980 model so it was to be expected I guess.

Had one of those once, yes the front tube was rotted out. Depends a lot on regular care.

Since he told me about it I googled them and see the U shaped bars you're talking about but this one isn't quite like that. It seems solid but I know rotting from the inside out isn't really something you can see. There's a couple brackets I may have to get fabbed up. Not sure if it was a good buy yet or not. Depends on what kind of money I have to put in it.
