    South LA Boat Trailer Repair Options

    Could someone recommend a business or individual who repairs boat trailers? I have a 2003 Skeeter, double axle trailer with some rust. It isn't critical, but I'd like to knock it out before it is...

    Also, would anyone know around how much this would cost? Thanks guys!

    Barnyard Fab in Chackbay. 985-665-5595. Never used them, but there are always trailers there getting worked on. The sign out front says they weld, blast and paint. And if your trailer is made from tube, you won't be able to get inside the tube and get all the rust out. Might not be worth the money to get it fixed. I went to Mike Geralds Trailer Depot and bought an aluminum trailer for my last boat.

    Thanks for the response Barry, you bring up a good point on the inside tube...if you don't mind me asking, how much was your trailer?

    You can go on their website and see the prices. Don't remember what I paid. Think it was about $1,200. They made it easy. Brought the boat to them and they lifted the boat off the old trailer and took it home. Went back in a couple of days and the boat was on the new trailer already set up. Sold the old trailer on Louisiana Sportsman.

    But not everybody can afford a big, fancy boat like you have.
