Catastrophic Failure

[nast70]

It's a galvanized tank of a trailer. When we bought it with our 2nd sled, it was the only trailer the dealer had in stock. I have been really happy with it. 10yrs old, and this is the first issue that has come up with it. Still has the original deck, all original tires and bearings on the axle.
With my current downsizing trend, i was considering an aluminum replacement, but after seeing how my BIL's and friends Tritons are holding up, not so sure. Might hold onto this one a bit longer and get some time from my upgrades. It could be re-decked, to freshen it up, but we'll see how the price of lumber goes in the spring.

Yah I wouldn’t get rid of that trailer for an aluminum on. I haven’t seen one that isn’t full of cracks after a few years. And fixing used dirty aluminum sucks!

Picked up one of the wheels. The other is on back order.
