If you were to scrap it, can I be first in line for the coupler?
I paid $300. for one that just needed tires and paint/lights etc etc......That one looks like a canidate for a specialty trailer of some sort, buggy, quads, rhino, trail bikes.....But NOT Jet skies, there are enough jet skies already..............MP
Take it over to KTW and ask them for an estimate to fix her up pretty.
Then compair that to an estimate for a new trailer.

Kustom Trailer does nice work. They did a few things on my Schiada trailer last summer.
Jason- As for restoration buy a new trailer. Remember the trailer under my Hallett? That took about 3 months to fully restore and it wasn't cheap.
Buy a welder. You'll learn something,have a new tool and get your trailer fixed cheap
I'd start from scratch. I have an old junk trailer under my Barron Sprint that will stay there till I'm done with the restore of the boat. The fenders and steps make for a good work bench.
We have to tow a long way to get to any good water 200+ miles each way! So I had a new one built over at Extreme Custom Trailers. It cost a little more than I had planned but it was worth it.
Oil bath hubs
LED lights
Polished stainless fenders
Galvitube dipped

O.K.--Now I'm curious. How much is a new trailer?? $3500?? Did it have a fold away tongue? couldn't see in the pics. Thanks for the post.
Jason, you can get every part you need over at DICO trailers in Anaheim. Prolly spend some time and way less then 2K to get it looking good again.
That looks like a compettive trailer to me.
If you just want to drop it off and have it done another good place is Walstrong Trailers in Harbor City.
