Used Eagle trailer
 

What is a 10 yr old Eagle with tandem axles and surge brakes value? Fresh water trailer. Carries 242 Formula.

No one got an opinion here??? New tires, aluminum bullet rims

My 13 year old Eagle for a 24' boat, 6000# trailer is totally
rusted out in the front end. Totally unusable and lucky I didn't
lose it on the road. I don't think the inside surface of the box steel
they use is treated to resist rust at all. Therefore I think it will rust from the inside under any conditions. Check the front end real well as the trailer would probly retain some water there.
If everything is OK I think the trailer may be worth $600 to
$800. That's strictly a guess.
Don't buy steel if you will use it in brackish or salt water. Do a
search on "Trailers" on this site for some good thoughts.

A 10 year old box frame trailer isn't worth buying for exactly what Raynman said.
Fresh water or not a box frame will and does rust out from the inside. I would not consider one if you are looking for longevity.
A channel type constuction trailer does not trap water as my friends original 1977 Martini channel type trailer still supports his boat after all these years.
Save your money for a good trailer. Generally, a boat spends most of it's life on a trailer. Therefore, it is money well spent.

I saw a 10 year old Eagle couple of years ago go into the shop for a paint job. The sandblaster riped it apart because of all the internal rust. Woundn't touch a box trailer.
