In a trailer conundrum

[The friend Ship]

Im in the same predicament. Might just carefully load it everytime until we can get a new board mounted on there somehow.
Our one side went last season, and the otherside went this season. However this time, the wood didnt float away, it busted while on the trailer and cut through 2 tires and a spare. So that already cost us about 300.

I rebuild trailors sometimes.To remove a boat ,repair rust,new bunks,sandblast,paint and put it back on should cost about $1200
I also install new bearings and repair any lights/wires
I can promise you if one is bad the rest are not far behind so a complete rebuild is a good measure.

yeah, I figure if I have it off the trailer, I'll do everything.

formandfunction: Do you take the boat off the trailer while its onshore? or do you just float the boat till you're done?

So I called Trailers by Dorsey today, and they have the fenders. Their going to cut the angles in there for me and ship em out. $54 each. The guy even saved me a bunch of $$ by giving me the formula for the paint so I can get it locally instead of paying through the nose to ship it (Hazardous material).

I have straps that hang on my car lift.

That sure makes it easy

Finally talked to my neighbor. He knows a guy who will come to the house and do the welding on the spot. Said he would be thrilled to get $85/hour. I think we have a winner
