The only problem with the old float on trailers is you can no longer find the replacement pad for the bunks. There bunk was actually an aluminum I beam. It had an angled ledge on one side to fit the hull. There was then a rubber/ plastic piece that slid on. None of those piece are available any more. I have seen some people place wood on the bunk/I beam to provide some cushioning but there is not enough width on the trailers to use a normal cypress or wooden bunk like modern trailers have to day.
The float on trailers are very very solid and will last for ever. With that being said the only replacement parts are the axles and those can be had from the factory for not much money.
I have an old float on trailer for my 23 Seacraft. I like it because it is very narrow. Tire to tire is about the width of the hull. You can really get the trailer in most any spot or small area.
