    Junction Block Good or Bad idea?

    Harbor Freight Trailer any good?

    Has anybody used this small trailer available at Harbor Freight? I have a 14 foor Tracker Topper. I cant see spending more money on a trailer than the actual boat. I do hit the San Diego Bay from time to time so it will see saltwater. I see it comes with 8 inch tires, can those even hit 55 MPH...
