I have a few questions. I am working on purchasing my own boat and it does not come with a trailer. So I purchased a real beat up one on CL, but for almost nothing since it will need a lot of work. I am going to pick it up on Tuesday evening and post pictures. Here is what I want to do with it. Right out of the gate it had no lights so I purchased led lights for it already. It is a double axle with shot brakes on both axles. It will need a good sanding since there is rust on it. So I would like to replace the tires, brakes, lights, winch and a few rollers that are crushed. My plan is to sand all the rust out and then put rust protection on it and give it to my brother who will paint it. So what kind of brakes will I need if I am going to re-do the whole trailer? I was just reading a post on here about electric and non electric brakes. I think I would like to explore the electric brakes. I am only going to use the trailer to put it in at the beginning of the season and to take it out for winter. The only concern is that I live in Chicago and the boat is located in VA so I am worried about the long trip home. I have also attached a picture of a part that it is missing and that I need to locate to attach to the trailer. So any help with where I can get the parts to do all of this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
