brake job
So the formula 280ss (~10k) trailer needs a brake job/upgrade/re-do along with lighting redo.it is a tri axle with surge drum on 2 axle's. Just picked the boat up this summer so the condition is a little unknow but the surge brakes do not work at all. cost is approx. the same do I go all 3 axles full electric or run EOH drum on just 2 axles.... it is a fresh water boat only so full electric doesn't concern me. the Baja has EOH disk on all 3 axles and its great, but I'm not spending the money on this boat/trailer to go that route. I have a 9 mile short slow tow to the lake every weekend with maybe 1 or 2 tows a season that is maybe 3 hours and I'm thinking this is a 3-5 year boat before it goes down the road.... but still need/want brakes that function when I need them....

Boat weight 6300
Cheapest route, replace master cylinder and brake parts Being fresh water - go full electric which requires welding up the hitch so it doesn't move. (this is what I did to my other trailer, and bought new trailer later with same) 10K boat |

I am/have been leaning this way, being a 2003 trailer I assume not much is going to be good or reusable on the current parts. , just don't want to be disappointed after the work is done... |

Forgot -- Also a breakaway kit, but still under $500 total. |
etrailer.com. I re-braked my cargo trailer last year. I upgraded from manually adjustable to auto adjust, new battery box and all the parts were factory parts (Dexter Axles) in sealed boxes.
