Looking at making an offer on a 23 foot boat weighs approx 4000lbs but I?m trying to figure out how much it will cost to add brakes to the trailer.
Its currently on an EZ loader dual axel trailer. Owner says it has emergency drum brakes on it, I guess the type that lock if it became separated from the tow vehicle.
My tow vehicle is a 2000 Explorer with the V8. my longest tow would be about five miles. And that would be infrequent as most cases it would be stored about 50 yards from the launch so I don?t need brakes for that. But it freaks me out to pull a boat that big even a short distance on a normal road without brakes.
How much does it cost to add brakes to a trailer like this? Can I use the drum brakes that are currently on there somehow? Again, my towing would be limited, but want the option to do so if necessary.
