If it was for a wing keel, I would have bought it!

It's a Trail-Rite - early model with straight axles. They make excellent trailers.

I don't think it would be all that difficult to modify for a wing - especially when compared to the cost of new.

The tail lites look like they've been updated to LEDs.

Someone will be very lucky to snag this one.

I think its an easy conversion. The rollers are adjustable but I don't think this trailer is Galvanized but would do if you only used it for storage and in and out once a year. Worth a look if I needed one.

This is a gem of a trailer with open I frame construction... A quantity of cold liquid galvanizing with 95% zinc content, available as spray and paint, would do wonders. It will cover and protect it for a long time to come, will make it look like new and will protect in fresh or salt water. Touch-ups later on will blend and keep it in "like new", condition.

You'd better jump on it! The difference in the wing keel and the swing keel is 3 or 4 inches. And as others have stated, it wouldn't take much to modify this for your boat and to kill the rust issue.
