You got yourself a good deal! You could put the boat on CL and get enough money for the trailer maint. and even new fenders!

Thank you

Yea I will need to remove some leafs. I've been looking up how to do that.

I plan on working on the bearings and the leafs this weekend.

Anything else you think I should look at?

Once you remove the axle put a large C clamp on the spring pack close to the centering bolt. Undo the centering bolt, You may have to cut or grind off the nut. How many leafs you need is going to be a bit of trial and error. To put the spring pack back together you'll need a long all thread bolt of the same diameter as the old centering bolt. When the leafs are together use the C clamp to hold pack together, remove the long bolt and replace it with a shorter bolt.
