The first two are within 15' of where I keep the V under a shelter which is about 50' from the corner of our house.
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.

Trailer Info
Thank You all for the great info and the pictures. Ironic the trailer pictures is my donor trailer. On the Shorelander by removing the Ubolts the axle assembly will just roll out from under the trailer. I am kinda cheap here. To drop 4-500 for axles then tires I would be better off to just buy a tadem trailer and swap parts. So seeing the pictures that nailed the answer for sure. To to it off the tow vehicle is a 87 Grand Wagoneer. It pulls the trailer and doesn't even know anything is behind it. I wish I could say mileage was good. 10 mpg on a good day going down hill with the engine off. As for the ramps here they are awesome but the mobile home axle just sits to hi so I back up the jeeps rear tires. So that is why I'm looking to fix what was butchered up on a otherwise great trailer

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.

Trailer Info
May I Thank everyone for the excellent responses. I unbolted the Shorelander and moved the axles, springs and mounting plate and it slid in perfect to the Magic lift trailer frame. A check of the axles rating and bearings and they are 3500lb rated. I will replace the springs "Just Because" and bearings. I'll do one more trip with the mobile home axles and get my last battle during recovery and launch. As my Wife Lyn would say, Recycle, repurpose. I say being cheap can be a useful tool to look at all options. Thank You, Ron
