Thanks for taking the time. I know a place that can take a look at it near by.

Yup, that's definitely not a stock factory trailer. On one hand it looks to be better quality, however, as Jimmy noted, it's probably not supporting the boat correctly. Stock had most of the boat weight on the steel axle in the center.

It’s usually safe to say if it isn’t stock it’s better than factory . Which were all designed to minimal specs.
Sufficient but not overbuilt to any degree

Thanks guy, I'm going to see if it can be changed to move the cradle to the axel beam or add a 2nd one.

When I added a second axle to the original trailer I put a board on the new axle so the weight sits on both axles now. Hope it will hold like this...
