    I've done business with Waymires since at least 1990 they are good folks. I don't know what you need to have done but I'd call them.

    I had them put a trailer hitch and wiring harness on my '90 F150 in '90 when I bought it. I wanna say in '04 or '05 the stinger froze in the reciever I took it in to see if they could get it out. The owner, Jim, looked at it and told one of the techs it was a warranty replacement and had him put a new wiring harness on it as well.

    that could be very costly,the ranger dual fenders are going to cost 2k,i am guessing but i bet i am close,that could turn into a 3k job,fenders,axle,tires and matching wheels

    New Ranger tandem trailer is 7 to 8k. I'll be scrapping the Ranger fenders - could care less about them. I'll be going with Aluminum fenders and repainting the trailer.
    Even if it is 3k, still cheaper than literally every other alternative.

    i understand, that 519 is a 20' boat fully loaded and full of fuel would be about max load on the single axle i assume

    I think you would be better served to buy a used one and sell yours!

    IMO, anything over 18’, should be on a dual axle trailer .
