If you use the trailer frequently the list of problems does not seem excessive for a stock trailer. The hub failures can usually be attributed to needing more frequent preventive maintenance and/or inspection. I assume the axle was replaced due to rust? Are you using unimproved roads to access the lakes in Colorado? Are the launch ramps you are using unimproved? If so, that could explain most of the problems you've experienced. Winch and bow roller problems may be due to over tightening when recovering your Montauk on the trailer. Are you using EZ Lube wheel bearing lubricators? They make hub maintenance easy.
