Looking for a new trailer
Posted: November 5th, 2003, 8:05 pm
Hey guys,
Often time lurker, seldom poster here, and I could use some advice.
I have a 16ft Fisher Jon boat, 25hp motor that I use to fish the flats with. It sits on a Dixie Craft trailer with 13" tires, side loading guides, rated for 1500 pounds. It's actually more trailer than I need, but I prefer that when traveling over having less. The thing is, it's not galvanized, so I bet you can guess why I'm looking for a new trailer.
Overall, the trailer is still in good shape, but the rust is starting to get to the point where I'm worrying about it. So, a couple of questions:
1) Is there a specific galvanized trailer that you would recommend? I would like something similar to what I currently have, just galvanized.
2) Who in the area would be the best bet to look for one? I would probably trade mine in for a new one or slightly used one. How much should I expect to spend?
Any advice would be appreciated. I certainly do appreciate it!
