2 questions: I have a 15? Sea Nymph (80? beam) and old trailer (17? 8?) that weighs 1050lbs without the motor. The Rear corners rusted and were repaired ? this was an in-line frame butt weld and edge weld with the rear cross beam on both corners. I don?t believe the butt weld will hold so am looking at replacing the trailer. First question ? do you agree to replace the trailer? Second I am looking for a new but low-cost trailer, preferably galvanized. I assumed a 1200 lbs rating. What manufacture would you recommend and what length? :confused: Trying to keep costs low. Thanks for your help.

Post up some pics so we can see how the weld looks and where it's at. Could be ok, may have a fabricator look at it, could also just need a fish plate welded over the butt joint to help distribute the stresses.
