Looking online there are trailers in this size with no brakes , brakes on one axle and some on both axles . With the weight of my tow vehicle if I add brakes to one axle I will be fine . A pair of brakes for one axle can be done for $100.00 .

Good, rated axles.
I like to do wheel bearings when I get a used trailer. I believe a battery is also needed for the breakaway to apply the brakes.
I've painted a few house decks with that textured deck paint. Might get a few more years out of the wood with that stuff.
