OK guys- what do you think- is there any market for a used boat trailer? I have a older custom made triple axle trailer with electric brakes, I stripped it and painted it a couple of years ago, new bunks, new winch, and new tires and wheels at that time and led lights, pretty decent shape but not new. I am thinking about upgrading because I would like to do a couple of long distance poker runs, and I want disk brakes and newer style bearings that don't need as much maintenance. Also to be honest, I am really picky and the trailer is decent but not perfect, and after towing a bunch of newer boats with Extreme trailers there is a difference. If there is a market for it- what is it worth?
Thanks

What length boat is it set up for?
I would say 2500-3000 because it is older, steel, and looks like a 34 ft boat on it. Sales are down so dealers are discounting new stuff. Save your $ and keep using it if it trailers OK.

If you decide to keep this trailer, we just did a complete new Kodiak triple axle disc brake set up including a new master cylinder, speedi sleeves, brake lines, flex hoses, fittings, etc for about $1100. If you have all the parts, it is a two man weekend project.
