Sadly, my 64 Gator tilt bed trailer is exhausted due to moving to salt water use. Components have rusted thru and no longer road worthy. My problem is I can't find a galvanized replacement with the keel rollers and carpeted bunks to support my 64 Thompson lapstrake. Any suggestions for an economical solution?

Without some photos, dimensions, your location in the world where you would be buying the trailer, we can do nothing but guess and throw random suggestions at you.

Wow, what a thread. When my 1964 Gator bit the dust I had the same issue.

I bought a brand new galvanized LoadRite bunk trailer. I added keel rollers on each of the crossmembers and one on the tongue. Instant roller trailer conversion.

Rollers and brackets and U-bolts are readily available. 30 minute conversion...
