What is the floor made of and is it treated/waterproof
I would need to tow the trailer about 80 miles to get home how new are the bearings and does it have a light board
Thanks
James

That'll do

The chipboard floorboard has been varnished but still...it's chipboard...
It probably does have new bearings now too.

What did you send Yoyo?

I just got a reply from seller to ebay questions:

He says: "the deck is marine ply and yes the trailer is road worthy"

Yeah right!

What a w*nker. I want to neg him

I belive he HAS changed the wheelbearing on the offside. The n/side was ok-ish but the bit about the floorboard is intentionally misleading.

<edit> He's cancelled the auction!

Possibly!

The bow floorboard (the one that takes the most stress) is varnished chipboard. The other 2 definitely aren't marine ply-the grain is way too coarse for hardwood.

From your pic, it dont look like it has any stringers along the edge of the deck either!! Its a death trap

That's a shame Matt. Getting your hopes up like that for such a waste of space.
