Can anyone recommend a place to get a new axle for my boat trailer? It’s just a single axle trailer for a Supra Comp boat.
 
USA Trailer built me a custom made axle cheaper
than a stock one at tractor supply, which didn't
have my exact size needed. USA also added the
springs (no extra charge).
 
I bought axles for my old car hauler and utility trailer off of ebay. I called around I couldn't find them cheaper anywhere locally.
 
I called five different places and I am out of luck. The spindle is welded to the upright on my trailer, so it would need to be cut off because it’s destroyed. All of them told me the trailer was too old and it would need a custom axle made for it. Even the trailer manufacturer said sorry.

I ended up ordering a new trailer for it. The problem is that the new one has an 8 week lead time and the boat is stuck in the water. The people at the park are having a cow about it being there and the trailer sitting there with one tire on it in their lot. I had to do an insurance claim for it. Because it’s so old, they won’t completely cover the cost of the new one, but will pay to have the boat transported to the dealer for dry storage until the new trailer arrives. Oh well, shit happens.
 
Did you call the trailer place next to the boat dealer by schrams? Any good trailer shop should be able to fix it
 
Yep. He told me they could not fix the spindle because it was just mangled. He had axles, but nothing that would fit the trailer due to its construction.
