I'm going to weld some more angle iron to it. I just wanted it straight
before I welded it.

If it bent back into place when you jumped on it, what is it going to do
when you do accident avoidance with a full load on it?

Nevermind, I just jumped on the front of it and it bent right back
into place

Hi, I bought a boat trailer and just noticed the frame is a little
bent at the front. The original owner mentioned that he had two boats
on it at once but I didn't think to inspect the frame. Here is a
picture of where it's bent. BTW it's bend on both sides equally so it
doesn't seem to affect the steering or anything.

One other question I had is, the trailer has some rust and I'm not
sure how bad it is. Also, should I change the u-bolts on the axle
just to be safe?
