    Should I

    My trailer needs some work, new surge brakeactuator, break lines and shoes (it's an older trailer) and a new winch post and I'd like to get some new wheels and have it painted. Or, buys nicer used trailer that was for a 20' Legend,
    have bunk boards reset for my boat, trailer is $1500 plus whatever the cost to have bunch boards reset to fit my boat, or, spend $4400 on a custom Pro Gator Trailer.
    The boat is a '96 so I don't want to put a turd boat on top of a diamond trailer (not that my boat is a turd) just want to be practical.

    Sounds like the nice used trailer is the best option.
