[QUOTE="BaitCaster, post: 136522, member: 2895"] Nice boat. Welcome aboard. I have been rebuilding my trailer, which i bought used for $300. Check out the thread here: https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=13166 Your trailer looks like it's galvanized so probably not much rust. Your coupler and winch look about as rusted as mine were. I replaced the coupler for $11 and the winch for $25. The main thing you are going to need to do is check out the bearings and spindles. They might not be too bad as it looks like you have bearing buddies. Good luck with the rebuild. It's a lot of work but a lot of fun and very satisfying when you start to see the finished product. Cheers, BC [/QUOTE]
