I guess that's a good way to put it, anyway. I have a tandem axel Shoreland'r trailer, based on other pictures I've seen of similar boats, I'm guessing it came with the boat back in 1984.
Structurally it's sound, but I don't know when it was last serviced. I bought the boat last spring, and was told it had sat in storage for about 1.5 years prior. So it's safe to assume it's been approximately 3 years since it was serviced.
I know this is kind of a stretch of a question, but assuming the worst, is there a ballpark figure on what I should expect to spend to get it road-worthy again?
All I know about the trailer is that structurally it's good, all the rollers are good, the winch is good, lights work. It rolls around fine, it was driven around the marina to launch the boat in the spring, and the empty trailer was driven 5 miles to my house afterwards. The tires are good but could probably be replaced. Beyond that, the brakes, axels, bearings, etc, I know absolutely nothing about.
I'm debating whether I'm better off selling what I have and putting it towards a trailer that's ready to rock and roll with minimal work, or just rehabbing the one I have now.
I'd like to do a couple weekends on the local lakes, but I don't have enough confidence in my trailer as it sits
