I bought a new to me 1957 Alumacraft Deep C runabout. I will be restoring the boat and keeping it a runabout. It came on the original Gator trailer and what I want to know is based one what you see is this trailer worth saving? The tongue is bent about 10° and the trailer was clearly jackknifed at some point in its history.
It looks pretty complete despite needing a new tongue. I have another trailer I could use but to be honest both of them need about the same amount of work. Need opinions from the community.
