In Response To: Thoughts on this trailer (Brian T. Cunningham)

I have a $15.00 garage sale trailer that I have as much money into as would a new one had I bought it. Dont skimp on the trailer, it will become a royal pain in the... My main gripe is that the little bitty wheels spin so fast the bearings dont last. That one looks good to me except I'd get bigger wheels for it, and make sure any gas station can repair a flat for you. Some wont do trailer wheels. I'm thinking seriously of getting a flatbed utility trailer that I can use not just for whatever boats I have cradles for, but garbage or firewood as well.

> Folks on the list are looking for trailer.

> I was thinkging this one would be good for hauling SWIFTWOOD

> Looks to be good for large canoes as well.

> Thoughts???
