The trailer that came with my boat has been seriously neglected for some time. There is a huge amount of surface rust that possibly goes deeper, just haven't had a chance to get too far into it. The main things that I am looking at right now are these:
1. It only came with 2 bunks on it that were about 4' long - this is a 16' boat.
2. The boat hangs off the trailer at the back about 2' foot (give or take a few inches).
3. The distance between the fenders is about 4" shy of the width of the bottom of my boat.
4. The bunks on the trailer are 2x4's on their side - I want to lay 2x4's flat to use as bunks, but the boat will sit too low then and will hit the fenders.
Do I really need the fenders on the trailer? How many bunks would you recommend for this boat (1652)? I was thinking 4, just because the ones on the outside will not be able to be very long due to the design of the trailer. I will try and get some pics on here tomorrow, as I am at work right now.
Thanks
