I had him build me a Baja Trailer for my Blackman 20 back in '98. Initially it came out in the standard model missing strenthening trusses at the corners. These should have been put in before the thing was hot dip galvanized. He welded them in place after the fact and used some sort of spot hot galvanizing on it.
The original axles were 3500# and 2" x 2" cross section tubing. They were insufficient for the weight of the boat and ended up flexing and the tires would wear out on the inside. I ended up replacing with 2" x 3" cross section Spindle Lube axles rated at 3500# from Champion Trailers. Best thing I ever did.
Side bunks did not match up with my boat. Too much gap. Had to add 4x4 spacing blocks to get them closer.
Original tires were Carlisle bias ply. They were throwing tread within a year.
Other than that, wonder if he's still in business. Highly doubt it. I've gone elsewhere to get parts and can get them much cheaper with better services. Well any service is better than Garges as he offered virtually none.
