Trayder,

thanks for your input! I've reviewed your restoration many times for ideas.

KenB, a friend told me there was a refurbished Float On on Craigslist for $800 bucks last week. Take that with a grain of salt as if a deal that good was available you would have to be standing there with cash in hand. And I have no idea of the condition. New axles are $375 each. Pitting was surprisingly minor for a trailer of that age. The worst areas were under the I-beams from the tire spray but nothing that would compromise the structural integrity. Never considered brakes for this boat. I would not think you would need them unless you were 26' or larger with a quarter ton truck like I drive.

DonV, your locations say it all!
