I dont have a breakdown it was a cash deal not tax kind of thing. They also added landing lights the entire length of the trailer, and it was $8200.
Gotcha thanks. Definitely reasonable given the amount of work.

I am going to have Wayne redo my Hallett trailer this winter and possibly redo my Schiada trailer as well.
I’m a big fan of what Adrenaline has been putting out, but they’re a little too rich for me. They quoted me $6k to strip and repaint the trailer. Not including swing away, stainless fenders, wheels/tires, or flush mount LEDs. Also the boat is right down the street from Extreme

Not my current boat. A new-to-me boat that I’m looking at buying.

Adrenaline does some bad ass work and my OCD self loves it

I don't get it.
I want to join the Schiada club and add a third axle to my Cole trailer. Any recommendations? I have some preliminary numbers from Adrenaline but seems real high to me.

Given the prices you've seen thrown around so far, have you considered DIY'ing this? I'm asking out of pure curiosity. If you're up to the task you can accomplish this at a 1/3 of the cost and have a welder for future projects.

I just went over to Trailer Tech and was quoted $900 for the axle, 2 steel fenders, 2 springs 2 equalizers and everything I need less wheels and tires. My Father In Law and Im going to do it ourselves.

One thing I learned going to triple is that the fender needs to be supported in the middle with 2 brackets to the frame or else its really flimsy and bounces around while underway and puts a lot of stress on those step pads... you can see them added in this pic that was posted earlier. Whereas a double axle the fender is mainly supported by the wood thats bolted to the backside to prevent rockchips on the hull and the 2 bolts that go into each step pad. Also helps when dumb people step on your fenders to get into the boat from bending them.

To pull my boat, go from the single step up front to the newer style double step, big side steps change all lights to the long led and paint it light gray from white Extreme wants 3900$ and Adrenaline wants 4500$ so I’d still say done right it’s 5500-6000$ on minimum to do. But garage fab is always different.

What do you mean single step vs double step?

The cat steps on front. Mine now has a single left single right step. Vs the one like what Walt did on his Daytona earlier this year.

To basically do exactly what was done to this trailer then paint gray is 3900$

Do you have a class c Az drivers license? The limit is 10K gvw for a tongue pull. A 3 axle can easily exceed this. Just fyi.

If you want a second opinion call KENNY at eliminator. Extreme is trying to get back into eliminator as they have been using shadow and adrenaline lately, they will probably give you a break for the hopes of getting that relationship built back up.

Im going to stay with leaf springs and just idler hubs on that axle. Parts list is an axle with springs, ubolts and idler hubs equalizer and spring perch chrome triple axle fenders. Im supplying the wheels and tires. labor, remove front step and move forward weld on 2nd equalizer and spring perch install axle and bolt fenders on. In my mind Im thinking $1500 to do the job????
i would remove all axles and go to torsion axles. will cost more than just adding an axle, but you will be happier with the result. and dont mind the haters, triple axle tows better too.

It appears Extreme has been building for them for a while now.

I have owned several boats with tri axle trailers as well as toy haulers. I know what Im getting my self into. Is there any other shops in Havasu that can do this besides Adrenaline?
I would get a quote from Frank's Trailer Repair in Havasu. Very fair on prices and does good work.

Why stop at just 3 axles...? Tow boats are out-blinging the Schiadas now...
