Just picked up a ski w/trailer. I want the ski, but I don't want the trailer. Trailer is a typical white Karavan single-place. 8" tires. 2" coupler. Winch set-up. Tounge wheel jack. No spare tire. I assume the bunks are good, as the 500lb ski sitting on them is not causing them to bow. Wheels spin fine, but it has some surface rust on the underside of the frame. Not bad, just not pretty and perfect. Could be left alone for many years, I'm sure. Just towed it home 40 miles, and it was smooth and fine.
The bad: Tires hold air, but are dry-rotted. Both fenders are busted (plastic). Both lights are busted.
$150 gets it. Certainly can be used as-is, but if you want it to be reliable for long trips, I'd stick some bearing buddies on it, replace the tires (and keep the old ones as spares), replace the lights, and replace the fenders.
Will trade for a hydrospace or 2008/2009 Super Jet, bwaaaaaaaaaahahahaha!!
