I have a Long brand galvanized welded trailer that came with my Outrage 17. To say it has seen better days is a understatement. I cringed while driving it 400 miles home on New Years.

While it maybe seem smart to run out and buy a nice new trailer, I would really like to repair it and not spend 2k. There are no used trailers within 300 miles of me.

The main frame, axle, rear crossmember, rims and tires are in good shape.

WARNING: The pictures are scary.

My plan is to pull the trailer from under the boat, cut out the two cross members and associated parts. Will replace the bearings and install new bearing buddies.

www.Easternmarine.com carries Load Rite parts that are bolt on and could work.
