Good insight, Rlbol. I had no idea re. the narrow frame, unique bunks and support structure. I'll have a look this weekend and check adaptability. I really like the idea of removing 4 or 500 lbs off my tow just by swapping the trailer. The guy bought a mess of them from the Gov auction and is asking around 1500. Seems high but like Don said, probably save a fair amount over new. Thanks again guys. Quite a stable you have there, FF...

My steel tandems are in the 12-1400 lb range. I'd actually be putting them under the 20 Seafari, and the Moesly.

I sold this 1977 "Float-on" brand trailer in Fla for $300 cash. It had partially dry rotted tires and rusty leaf springs. The axles were fine and the aluminum structure was solid. No brakes - No fenders.

In South Carolina I bought this 2003 aluminum slide on trailer built by "Wesco" for $1200. It had a new front axle with new disc brakes. Overall it was in very good condition. It had galvanized 14" wheels with new trailer service tires too.

I changed out to aluminum wheels the next year...
