    97 zx185 trailer..

    Im actually in the market for a new trailer possibly ..the back frame where the transom saver sits was bent up and out (I assume someone pulled across something and it hung up on trailer ) anyway I had it fixed the best I could without messing anything else up.. its just not perfect.. so im going to shop around single axle or dbl axle is fine black and red in color

    '97 ........ A good welding shop should be able to fix that really easy. A fresh coat of paint over the entire trailer (just so the paint matches) and you'd never know it's been repaired. Or is there other stuff bent as well???

    Just the back part I took it to a shop and put on frame machine and combination of porter power pushing and pulling until the wheel wells started coming in with it

    The tie down hook where pretty much level with the running boards if that gives u idea how and how much it was bent..I guess I could cut those off since there isn't any hooks to tie to on boat anyway ..

    WOW! Sounds like a lot more damage to it than it's worth.

    I was once looking for a trailer for my Xpress. I noticed C and O Marine in TN had a few listed on their website. Granted they are not for my/your exact model ...... but you might can save a few dollars and just have to build the bunks to fit the boat hull.

    That's what I did with my pad bottom Xpress ...... it's really not that hard.

    IDK what a new trailer from EZ Loader would cost you.

    Good Luck.
