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.* 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.* Even if
they have a drain hole.* 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.* 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.* 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.
Jon
Its channel. You should be just fine. PULL the wheels..and do the
wheel bearings!! If you have to drive a few hundred miles each
way...you DONT want to have a bearing go tits up at 9:34 pm. And buy
a good used spare or even a new tire and wheel. $35 at
Walmart...$25ish at a full iine tire shop for a used wheel and tire.
Btw..if the wheels and tires are "iffy"...you can buy a matching pair
of new rims and new tires for under $65 delivered..on Ebay.
The Deestone tires are pretty decent for a low weight trailer and
boat. Thats what I put a pair of last month on that SeaSpray Cat to
get it home.
