Please, I Need HELP or suggestions

[EBEACH]

I bought a boat from Wisconsin, and while having it towed back to the Northeast, the trailer lost a wheel. It’s a long story, but I really need some help. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

This happened about 10 days ago, and I just don’t know what to do. The boat, a 23 Tsunami, is currently 400 miles away in Pennsylvania just a couple miles off I-80.
I’m currently paying 10 bucks a day for storage at a camper sales yard out in the middle of no where (deliverance country). The people that have looked at it say they can’t fix it. The spindle is messed up, and it’s a torsion axle.

The hauler was going to come back and pick it up with a drop deck trailer this weekend but, as of this time, he doesn’t own one.

Apparently, the side that lost the wheel is overloaded and the wheel remaining on that side is pushing up into the fender. The boat can be moved, but not far. The out drive is only a couple of inches from the ground at this point and I really don’t think it could be pulled up, onto a drop deck trailer without burying the out drive.

Local quotes for a new trailer are 4k. I’ve called Nextrail, and they said $2,700 with brakes, delivered in about 10 days to 2 weeks. This is probably my best option, but what do I do with the old trailer, and how easy will it be to get it off one trailer and onto the other? Is this wise to do in a remote location? I hate to put the money into a trailer for I boat I haven’t seen in person. My great deal on the boat isn’t so great anymore. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

To further complicate things, my tow vehicle is a 2004 V8 Toyota 4-Runner with capacities of 5,000 weight carrying, and 7,000 with a weight distributing hitch. Capable of pulling it locally in my boating area, but seems too far to try this for the first time.

Looking for help, or suggestions. Boat is located in Brookville, PA 15825
