This is what it looks like after an almost total rebuild by Henry Trailers here in the San Diego area. This old trailer had been under the boat in a field across the street for at least 14 years. 4 flat and rotted tires, much rust, bunks stuck to the boat, wood rotted away. One spring broken. I put used tires on and repacked the wheel bearings, then after starting the engine and much else, I launched the boat in San Diego Harbor. The trailer nearly fell apart as I towed it home. Perry Henry came out and gave me an estimate to either replace the trailer or rebuild it. The price was about the same but I chose rebuilding because I would keep the registration and there would be no title transfer, etc. 3 weeks and $2900 later, here it is.
I may pull the boat out and try to clean and repaint the bottom before I put it back in that ugly sea water in my marina slip. I will determine whether there is water and power for my power washer near the boat ramps that are near to my Marina. If not, I could bring it all the way up here to my residence (25 miles) and do it here in my driveway. Before reloading the boat on the trailer I think I would try to wrap those new bunks with plastic to protect them from that marine growth.
I am puzzled about how to get access to the areas under the bunks and rollers. Is there a slick way to lift a boat on a trailer?
