Jorge -
From the money side - it will certainly be cheaper to rehab the trailer than to buy a new one. If your trailer is in the condition as mine was then be prepared to spend several hundred dollars (really upwards of $1000 if it's tandem).
Now - i could have gotten away with replacing 2 springs instead of 4. But, while the boat is off and you are doing it why not do them all. Same with the hubs, i could have probably just done the back 2 and gotten away with it.
Those damn rollers are like $20 each and i had 16 and they all needed replacing, that is why i switched to the bunks. By the time i factored in the wood, carpet, adhesive, stainless staples, etc....it cost me over $200 to build the bunks. Then i needed brackets to mount the bunks with.
My situation i think i could have gotten $1000 for my trailer as it was, mostly because the frame is not rusted and neither is the axles, so its a good base. I think i could buy a brand new suitable trailer for probably $2500. So it's a toss up.
