[quote=MN3]u know what kills me about trailers...
the (markup) cost for parts
i needed a new axle for my 6.0 trailer -
I asked a local sailor who used to own the local sail shop if he could order me an axle with hubs
He did it for a few $100. No instal included - no biggie
About 9 months later I needed one for my Jon boat (the hubs rusted so bad I couldn’t get them off so I just decided instead of spending over $100 on new hubs I would just replace it for a few $ more.
He didn’t want to deal with it so he told me he would order it at cost if I would pick it up.
Axel, nuts bolts, u-bolts came to under $110
WOW
When I asked our local RENTZ (trailer shop) they wanted over $600 for the same exact parts
I am a capitalist, and I understand markup but I can’t get over 6x markup[/quote]
