[QUOTE="Blackdogxx, post: 280119, member: 9731"] I bought a jon boat and trailer and had enough sense to forget about the boat when I saw is was fairly clean inside and apparently not leaky. The trailer bearings are what will get you killed! A traffic mishap when the bearings sieze up will make the boat cost pale in comparison! Look on YouTube and Google to see how to replace bearings and 'races' they fit in. It's not much money to add 'bearing buddies' as well as the little plastic covers called 'bras' over the bearing buddies. With safety of the trailer covered.... you can start to have fun! Be smart and go out with an experienced boater for the first trips (launching/retrieving/strapping/trailer balance, etc.). [/QUOTE]
