Get a quote to fix vs quote to buy new one.
But if ur plan I keeping long term id go new.
Somebody will probably buy ur old trailer to ,as it is.
To many boats kayak, helicopter , catch a fish,catch a fish

I took 1 wheel off to do the bearing as trailer hasn’t moved for 4 months and found some more rust.
Hit with a hammer.
Made a decent whole.

I’m don’t think worth fixing.
Time for a new trailer

Is that the only major spot of rust?

When i got my first boat home i noticed a bit of rust similar to that on the underside of the draw bar. I was able to cut that section out and weld in a new bit. Never had an issue with it after that.
The only thing better than serenity is a two stroke at full throttle!
