    Unloading was the cluster I knew it would be. Got to reload and found out it required tarps? So drug them out but a little short for the whole load but running with it anyway. Parked in Mauston, WI. Deliver in the morning about 1 hour from the house. Think I’ll head back out on Monday again till the 3rd and park it again for a week? 4558A28D-27A4-4735-AF11-3E139E909ECE.jpeg DB250CB1-6C60-42B2-BB69-089EF50F637F.png 4E17554E-37D9-4B66-B9C2-79443DF53F23.jpeg

    I looked this trailer over as best as I could, the only structural issue I saw was the lateral I-beam bent from a blowouts above the front tire, both driver and passenger side. Besides that, all welds are in tact and seems to be in decent shape, Worth 5-6k to the skateboard experts? Been sitting 3 years.

    Don’t see the brand on it?

    53’ trailers are valuable. If that is a fixed suspension it will hurt the resale value anywhere but California.

    Hard to tell from the pictures but anything under $10k if it’s usable. Minus anything to make it road worthy. Tires, brakes, lites airlines, abs not working. Doesn’t take much to add up $4 or $5 thousand in parts and labor to get it up and running?

    You already said the deck was shot. Sitting that long it's gonna need skins, brakes, seals, bushings are probably shot. Both s cam and suspension. Sounds like a project.... I'd probably be under 4 for a offer and I wouldn't buy it.

    It’s a Fontaine infinity combo with three apitong strips. Definitely needs tires, brakes are between 50% on front, 75% rear. It is a fixed suspension with a dump axle setup. It will need to be gone through, but it still has a slight bow to it and it’s in good structural shape.

    As far as resale, if Dad buys it, let’s just hope it gets passed down to me for a good deal.

    Deck is solid except for the three apitong strips that need to be redone. I actually know this trailer, guy used to haul rebar with it. Didn’t realize it until I talked to him.
