They seem to be well made no matter the model or hull material. they are deff thick heavy boats . no creeks and groins in bigger h20. some have blistering issues and mine is one of them . not bad but was a issue with them for a bit . pretty sure you are in the clear by 2000 I have prob 30 or 40 total not the end of the wold just pop the new ones in the fall let them dry over the winter and fill with resin in the spring prob a hr a yr or less . I think you have to have a wide load sign to yank that thing down the road don't you? did you get a good price on the trailer you got? in my looking over the yrs around here the 24 to 28 are gold and get the big bucks and go fast the 14 to 22 are a dime a dozen millions around go cheep the the huge trailers are also not in demand and sit for a long long time because most guys with a 30 foot or better have the marina do everything because they can. my trailer is a total pile of shit way to underrated for what I use it for but it is nothing but a storage trailer . goes from launch to my driveway to get ready for winter and to storage less than 6 miles total a year. and that 3 mi a season makes me nervous lol like the custom old shit ratchet strap nose tie down and the squatting tires .guy had a 22 alloy 6cyl I/O boat on it I have a 25 glass v8 only like 2500lb diff Edited May 28, 2017 by Ez ryder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
