Msg Subject: Trailer repairs

Is there anybody out there that can repair a really rusty trialer?  Or anybody know of a cheap tandom trailer to tow a 21 foot bowrider? 

I wasnt planning on trailer stuff for a year or 2 but it looks like the rust is more extensive than I origionally thought and one of the crossbeams has broken loose and there is a large area that is rusted. 

Thanks in advance

John

Not much repair on rusted trailers, they rust from the inside out. Check out www.nextrailofamerica.com this is where I got the last trailer I bought and where Teena and Chris (lugnut) got their new trailer.

Ask Chris and Teena about waiting.  I know we all try to get by, but in the end it could have cost them all the work they had done to their boat.

I bought a galvanized trailer off ebay.  Gonna pick it up Sunday.  Now I just have to transfer the boat to the new(to me) trailer.

The title for the trailer was signed by the previous owner in VA and they signed it in the wrong place.  So I cant get it registered. 

So I am again without a decent trailer.  Any ideas for an inexpensive solution?

If you paid for it through Ebay, request your money back

If you are just stuck, contact VA DMV and have them send a notice to the registered owner to sign a release of title
