I've got a 1985 Hensley Tandem axle trailer w/ 21' Eliminator hull. Trailer needs rebuilt. I want a swing hitch installed, new lights, necessary repairs to fenders, brakes/axles/bearings, paint, detailed, etc....
Trailer has fresh water only, but does show 30 years of over the road wear, and service.
What should I not forget when I'm planning?
After hearing GRADS $60 an axle to launch, I figure I'll stick with the tandem axle set up.
It currently has bar springs with surge brakes (drum style).
Although I've never had an issue with it, the hitch should be looked at.
I want new wiring and underwater LED lighting.
What should I know about owning a 30 year old trailer?
Should I buy new custom trailer? The boat is still worth making the investment to update the trailer.
