Brakes arnt connected on mine and wanted to take the boat to plymouth next weekend for the class 1 but its a 5-6 hour journey thus if it illegal its not going.

Sorry to go on but really want to go - local trailer place cant replace them in time

could be a bit risky towing all that way,if cops stopped you for a routine check ,or if an accident happens might make insurance void especially with the trailer having brakes,but them not working.
your boat might not weigh 750 so no need for brakes,but i would try to find out before towing any distance!!

You most defiantly need brakes and brakes that work, when I was ski racing a number of times we had the police turn up at the boat park to check our trailers, always in the (West Country) at the time I had a Phantom 20 with a 200 Merc, had brakes that worked all OK, some with same size boat even being towed behind 4x4 were booked for not having brakes.
A good friend of mine was stopped (locally in Kent) towing a F3 Ring without brakes, had to leave it by the side of the road and get it recovered, had to either have brakes fitted or buy new trailer, cheaper in the long run to buy a new trailer, police wanted to see the boat and trailer before they took of the ban from using it on the road.

I was told by my insurance company if you towed with out brakes you are not covered by insurance
