  1. Well I did a little shopping around and found another dealer within 5 miles. The dealer who I bought the trailer from told me he could sell me the exact same trailer that I have for $2500.00. I think the shop saw that the trailer was in such disrepair. That they thought they would try and capitalize on the sale. I bought a 5 Star/Load Rite which looks like a better quality trailer then the one being offered by the shop. The shop manager was scratching his head when I showed up to pull my trailer out of there. At the time I did not tell them that I had made a purchase. But believe me I will be sending them an e-mail in the near future. I know the ecconomy is tough but an $800.00 difference in price between two delears.

    A of shot of the torsion arms/equlalizers sorry for the quality picture from my cell phone.

    I don't know if they got a little greedy ,I would think that they could have repair your trailer for around $1,200 ,and I'm sure you would've like that much better ,I'd rebuild my trailer my self with about $1,200 but that was 2 x 3500# torsion suspension axle no brakes ,new hubs all aluminum cross members and stainless hardware that was a couple of years a go but when I was done my trailer was the same as a $4,000 one from the factory .

    I guess they lost the deal on this repair or sale ,as my dealer did with my trailer ,he quoted me a little too much in order to try to sell a new trailer and at the end he encouraged me to do the rebuild ,and I'm sure that my work is a lot better than theirs,if you don't thing so ask the customer.

  2. thill I agree with Ludicrous, if the initial problem happened out of the blue and you went and adjusted the fuel mix ,what in my opinion you should have done was to rebuild the carbs ,I too have a carburator motor and runs perfectly fine, but every once in a long while ,I do rebuild the carbs ,to be exact three times in ten years ,also a friend of mine with a Yamaha 150 hp carb did lose some speed at top end, but other wise was running fine, he rebuild the carbs and there was the lost rpm ,I know this has nothing to do with your problem, but if you din't touch the motor and the rpm was lower ,I think you should have rebuild instead of adjusting the idle ,I won't get a mechanic if you have the manual, is not that hard and you probably do a better job, I saw a mechanic rebuilding a set of carbs and the only thing he used from the kit was the gaskets ,he said that all he had to do is clean the parts ,witch is true ,but if the customer paid for the hole kid replace everything ,thats why I do it my self.

  3. Tim, the 1st thing you have to admit is , You have a problem.

    You Sir are a BOATAHOLIC and there is only one cure for it and that's called , A WIFE .

    The wife can cure you in a heat beat and take you to just a BOATER [ One boat ] so fast it will make your head spin.

    Don't forget , a soon to be ex-wife can turn you into a DECK HAND in a matter of weeks.

    No Sir , right now your just a Boataholic , not a REDNECK.

    Now that was funny and at the same time a very smart post
