New Trailer

Post by Hiljun »

I have 15*42 WeldBilt on a steel trailer. The boat is fine the trailer is not so good. Any suggestions on a local source for a new aluminum trailer?

Wow, this is a year-ending revelation. For once I actually agree with Wevans. :wink: Coastal has always treated me right.

Capital City Trailers also has a great reputation and are a site sponsor, I believe.

Not living on the coast very long I don't know if aluminum is worth the price difference of a used galvanized.
Used galvanized= $500
New Aluminum= > $1700

Hiljun, to me it kinda goes to how many times a year you're going to use it, and how far your tow distance is. Just like pickup trucks, new is best if you can afford it, but a beater will get you there and back most of the time.
To fish, or not to fish, . . . those are the answers.
