Might "WTB" Boat Trailer
I am going to look at a boat that is in a Dry Storage facility. If I purchased, I would need a trailer.
Trying to get the cart before the horse, but trying to see what is available were I can factor in a trailer cost.
The boat is a 21 foot, V-Hull, CC, with outboard engine. A single 3500 pound axle should be big enough.
I would prefer an Aluminium, but might go with a galvanized if I found the wright deal.
Anyone know of any trailers for sale?
Thanks in Advance.

Re: Might "WTB" Boat Trailer
For a 21', think about a dual axle if you plan to tow it any distance. Stability at highway speed is most important.
Re: Might "WTB" Boat Trailer
I agree with groupertherapy. I bought a 21 Sea Pro that had a single axle aluminum trailer and it didn't work out. Luckily, I was able to add a second axle and make it work.
As for a trailer, a few months ago, I saw a double axle trailer for sale down at Coastal Trailer near Panacea. Good luck.

Thanks for the two axle advice, I was concerned that a one axle would be sufficent.

Call Dan or Rex at Coastal Trailer in Medart--850-984-0728. They're great guys with fair, honest prices and great follow-up service.
I would add my recommendation for a dual axle. Better road handling and support for the hull. If you go with a new one, a Rolls is a great choice. Coastal is the local dealer.

Re: Might "WTB" Boat Trailer
Looking back over my post, I sound like Tony the Tiger. But I really can't say enough good things about Coastal Trailer. I've bought two trailers from them and they've always treated, well....Great!

I talked to Rex, nice guy, Sounds like he might have a used trailer that would suite my needs if I like the boat.
