johnd Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 My 1991 Lappy sits on a 1991 Boat Master trailer. The torsions in the axle finally gave up..called this am. Lady asked for serial #, then she said "oh, that's a pretty old trailer". Yes, and while I have rewired (somebody did before), it's in really good shape. She promised a call back today. By noon a guy called me, we spoke about boat, he made a few suggestions...including since they ( located Ft Myers) run by Port Canaveral each week. They could pick up, n/c, replace axle or do a full refurb..or he could ship new axle today. Wow! Super helpful . As I took off axle yesterday, 4 SS bolts, I opted for them to ship. Also upgraded to 3500 lbs...for $50 worth extra to me. So..as always one project leads to another. Removed the fender, unscrewed lots of SS screws holding a plate on each side at base of bunk carpet, removed carpet...read here on forum how to put carpet on..(THANKS!). used old piece as pattern. Put on lots of contact glue...followed with SS staples. Tomorrow will do other bunk. I did ask about buying a new trailer, these appear more expensive than most brands..but this is 25 years old & still going strong. I've had many trailers over the years: none ever lasted this long and big kudos for prompt, knowledgable customer service.

triplec Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Did the same about 6 years ago my 96. Rubber was tired in the torsion. They drop shipped me a new 3500 pounder and every bolt hole matched! Likely it was Kevin you talked to. He is great to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnd Posted September 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 FedX delivered at 3pm. Wow, basically 24 hours from placing order to receipt. looks like 15 or 30 degree torsion...mine is like "0"... Probably should have done this a while ago.
