Message: <blockquote data-quote="thill" data-source="post: 523230" data-attributes="member: 4972">If you HAVE to keep the utility trailer, I would do exactly what Loosescrew wrote.IF not, I would clean up the utility trailer and sell it for the highest amount I could.  Utility trailers are usually pretty easy to sell, and you can often get almost as much you paid, if it's clean and you touch up any rust and/or chips in the paint.Typically, a utility trailer is worth more than a jon boat trailer, so if you wait for the right buyer, you should do pretty good.    I was looking for a trailer to haul my tractor, and was surprised at how much they were.  I ended up getting a solid, 5,500 lb tandem-axle boat trailer that had bad rollers for something like $400.   With a welder and about $350 in angle iron and wood, I converted it into a pretty nice utility trailer, with a 7x14' bed made from 2x6.  Very happy with that choice, but I have the skills to do it easily, whereas some may not.My point, is I got a HD utility trailer for much less than what a utility trailer would cost.   Maybe by selling the utility, you can get what you want with less out of pocket in the end</blockquote>
