Scored an awsome trailer !!!

Post by JonRiley56 »

All,

every once in a blue moon I actually get lucky. I got a great deal on a very nice trailer. It is a 2007 but is brand new. It got "overlooked" in a manufacturer's inventory. I got it for about 50% of retail............

I got it from a dealer on Cape Cod. His regular prices are quite good too. If anyone in this area is looking for a trailer drop me aline and I will give you his contact info.

$7,000..............all welded aluminum except for the tongue and axles which are galvanized. Torsion axles, alloy wheels, 4 wheel hydraulic disc brakes, all LED lights, all stainless fasteners. It has a load capacity of 5700 lbs and weighs 1300 by itself.

I was looking at traditional bunk tralers in this size and they were in the low 3,000 range and then I would likely would have had to add poppets or sailboat supports. This one is set for an inboard with the "basket at the rear to accomodate the shaft and has the twin bunks that I can adjust to the hull. I hope to get the hull on it tomorrow and get it out of the shop for a power washing. Then I can clean the shop and try to set up to spary next weekend
