Is that a tube frame trailer or a C-channel trailer?

With C-channel the water drains away easier and faster, and you can
inspect it more easily.Â* What you see its what you get.

With tube frame trailers I suggest crawling underneath and tapping on
any suspicious looking spots and any low spots with a hammer.Â* Even if
they have a drain hole.Â* They tend to rust from the inside out, and the
hold moisture for a long time.

A buddy of mine has had me cut and patch the cross members on his early
90s tube frame trailer a couple times.Â* A similar c-channel trailer II
have was built in 1950, and while I have had to work on it the frame is
not rusted through anywhere, and I have not had to repair the frame.
Well I did convert it from tilt to fixed by welding it up, but that's
it.Â* Neither has been in salt that I am aware of.

I don't know anything about rag hangers, but I'd make my decision based
on the value of the clothes line without the trailer.

Hi Bob, I'll have to ask the seller, it's a few hundred miles from me so
I don't have any way to inspect it before I make the drive. I was
assuming it was square, but as light as the boat is maybe it's channel.
