Is it the thing in between the two wheel wells?

No. It sits behind the tires and brake drum and is bolted to the axle. It does not rotate, it houses the brake mechanism. The brake drum is beside the backing plate and rotates with the tires.

The springs on the trailer and the frame are good as new, they are amazingly clean, but someone butchered the brakes. I am not 1005 sure the axles are original, they are clean but the backing pates are nearly gone with rust. The brake backing plates and the bow stop tower are gone, but are easy fixes. I won't bother fixing or reinstalling the brakes, I don't run far enough to bother with brakes, and they are always a hassle here around saltwater. I'll just make a new bow stop post, the rest is fine. I'll also add a better quality coupler since I already have one here. This looks like its sprung for about 6000 pounds or so. but the axles are only about 2200 pound units. It's the only boat trailer I have that uses the center troxle type link, all my other twin axle trailes use independent springs and axles. It's a prettyheavy trailer and was built for a 25' boat, I plan to make use the added length to keep my truck out the water when launching my 19' boat.

The boat is gone! It found a new home tonight!
It went to someone local who plans to make a center console out of it.
