We have about 2 hours twice a day of usable tide to put boats in or take them out.
I was raised in that ditch till I was 8 years old then I moved back to it when I was 20 years old.

Beautiful.

Trailer looks good Tsubaki, I'm a chevy guy but like the older dodges.

I had a heavy equipment trailer with the big single leaf springs and thought they would be good for a boat trailer, no friction between leaves and you could zinc coat or cool seal them.

I'm using a 3100 single now. No problem for the annual launch & recovery, 15 miles, no hills or highways.

It worked out cheaper to buy a brand new single/no brakes than to repair the springs, brakes, actuator, hubs, rollers, ubolts & 4 tires on my tandem.

Agree with Skunk, you can buy a new trailer for about double what it costs to fix up an old one depending. My next one will have torsion axles, tired of doing springs every few years.
