I'm not too worried about not having brakes (truck has plenty) but those disk brakes look sweet. I have to get the surge master cylinder and all. The previous owner left the system open and everything is frozen. I had that disc brake setup on a ranger boat trailer with the oil bath bearings. I wish I still had that setup.

Can you buy stainless hangers?

wow your a brave sould to not have brakes on your trailer. I would hate to not have them on mine, but your boat is a bit lighter I would think then mine. so maybe not too bad.

Well if it makes you feel any better i was running "special" brakes too! I got the axle, springs and pads painted and new spring bushings in. I can't finds any galvanized spring hangers anywhere for the life of me though! I guess i can paint some raw ones for now. Hope to install Saturday if all goes well.

Looks like quite a project Razz. Nice job...

Yeah, no brakes is no fun. I left the little reverse lockout tab that keeps my brakes from working in one time and it really sucked. Luckily I am a wopping 2 miles from the ramp.

your lucky, I wish I was 2 miles from the ramp

[Razzman]

I hear ya, I'm an hour minimum from anything I'll put the boat into.

I towed ours for the 1st 4 months, including a 300 mile trip, not realizing that the master cyl on the trailer was delivered bone dry so much for pre-delivery inspections.
