OK I have had zero luck trying to get a new trailer for a buddy of mine, the one that has called me back has a 10 month backlog, so now we are thinking about just having the trailer refurbished, it is in good shape other than fenders and paint, would probably just strip it all the way down and go back with all new components, anyone on here know someone who could do a good job on this ? If we were not so dang busy I could have my shop guy do it but right now that is not an option. If you know of a trailer builder or a fab shop let me know, thanks.

McGill's in Lewisville would be able to do the metal work, but you'd have to ship it off to get it painted. I am starting to look for replacement fenders for an EZ Loader Custom. Please let me know what you end up doing, as it may help change my approach!

They did good work on my saltwater rig.

trailers are like everything else there is a waiting list on if you build trailers . i use to stock over 100 trailers at all times now only can keep about 10 an paying stupid money an running all over to get them the trailers to fit skeeters are even harder to get because there are more folks with the old tube trailers breaking . hopefully this will change an get back to normal .

these folks have a ton of ranger trailers, the bunks can be changed over to what is needed pretty easy. bad thing is getting it from tenn. to Tx. quick scan shows triton and other trailers too. https://www.candomarine.com/default.asp?page=xPreOwnedInventory

Dang they do have a bunch of trailers, I need one for a 2008 Champion 210 Elite, would probably take some fairly good modifications to make those work. Thanks for the info

Thanks for the info get one of the mako aluminum if they have the right size, bunk changing would not be hard, just measure the mounts for the old ones and weld in new. even the ranger or triton would work and easier to modify since they are steel

Anyone know about how much the aluminum trailers run?
I wouldn't mind modifying one to fit my legend if the price is right
