I own a 1996 Four Winns 205 Sundowner with the original trailer. It's a single axle. It's been dipped into salt water for 20 summers, but we do our best to take care of it and fix problems as they arise.
There is surface rust on parts of the trailer.
Take a look at the latest conundrum. The wheel cover appears to sag on one side WHEN THE BOAT IS LOADED on to the trailer. You can see the wheel is square with the axle, but the wheel well is pulled inward just an inch or less.

New wheel bearings.
The boat tows just fine...this is just something I noticed.
Here's the trailer without the boat. It is on uneven ground so I can't make judgements, this is just for your reference.
