I have a 27-year old Trailex that came new with my first slightly used 1978 Hobie 18 White Knight (Now don't that take you back some?). Trailer now looks almost new under my all-carbon Javelin XJ A-class, and the trailer runs great. I put a new axle & springs on before going on a blitzkrieg trip to New Jersey with Woody Cope (46 hours) to pick up 2 new XJ boats. My wife kept fussing at me that the original springs were looking thin and rusty, plus some dang where I had bent an axle spindle a little on a curb...hey after 33 years you expect a little wear eh? Nah-Wife was right.....again. She even cleaned it up for me, Wow!
