One thing is, I’d like to keep the trailer as short as possible for my car and possibly Ms. Rockets 2010 Tahoe, in case it breaks down.
I need to price out storage as well, as I don’t have room for it.

e towed a 24" keelboat all over N America for years, Steel trailer and yes even w/ steel fatigue can be an issue, The spring shackles separated from the chassis on US in Toronto one year, Steel welding is an easy fix for that sort of issue, also new er is better from that perspective
lastly the older trailers tended to have narrower deck space my '72 w/ Carrera flairs barely fit on one of the older Trailex models
