I bought a bowrider (3,300 lbs) from a private owner in New York 4 years ago (I live in Pennsylvania) and just transferred title on boat and trailer and it was just a matter of paperwork. A week ago I bought a Mac 26X in Massilon Ohio, NOW Pennsylvania wants a trailer inspection because the trailer has a GVWR over 3,000 lbs. In the inspection, I guess they will look at the tires (I put new ones on), the general condition of the trailer (looks fine), and surge brakes (I have seen ads saying these trailers have surge brakes).
So....if it does have surge brakes, do these hold up relatively well? The boat was kept in freshwater for the season and only trailered 10 miles twice a year (the lake was 5 miles long, one mile wide in Ohio).... and the boat looks brand new, so does the trailer! The old guy was OCD (God love him)!
