I am clearly no expert however after looking at the picture I would say it is very dangerous. I personally would not haul my boat on it nor take the chance of endangering your family, others and yourself. Again just my opinion ![[flag]](/flag.gif "Flag [flag]")

That is a disaster just waiting for a pothole or a railroad crossing.

By the way, this trailer without any problems passed the whole way from Greece to Spain. 1700miles.

When we it last used on the road?
A good test for rust is to use a good heavy hammer to check on welds and suspect areas. I feel confident with a small hammer you will destroy the trailer in about 30 seconds... So it surely is not fit for service. The challenge now is how to move the boat off it safely. Best of luck.

We had once a dual axle trailer split in half at the I beam on a ramp. We had to slide the boat down the ramp... We used some plywood to minimize damage, but it was nasty. Do not recommend the experience.

Super dangerous. I push the limit but i wouldn't want to drive that over 5mph. That trailer is beyond repairable.

Wow! I just noticed that I have rust bulges at the bottom of all of my crossmembers but looks like I could go a few more years based on these pics
