I priced a new trailer for $4000 tandem axel for a 20' whaler. I ended up getting a used trailer for half that.

My dad's partner had a tandem axel trailer for his 25' grady white. He bought a tri-axel and sold me his. And I modified it to fit my boat. Got about 6' of trailer before my boat starts but it's fine.

I picked mine up for under $2k from The Boat Yard in Marrero. Its a single axle and I got a 19ft Kenner on it. Kinda a long haul for you but you might call and get a price anyway

The Boat Yard is the best place to find a used trailer.

Have any of you seen the new rubber block suspension systems? I've only heard about it, but sounds cool!! No more springs to rust

mainly its just old
its got a little rust here and there so i'll probably let a shop do a weld overlay on the affected spots - and i'm just afraid this is the beginning of the end and so i was pricing trailers.

i think they sell some sort of galvenized stuff in a can that you roll on????? That would be easier than buying $2,000 trailer... .my $0.02

Just enough room for a removable t-top.

I'm not talking about surface rust - I'd be ok if it was that simple...the spot that's got me concerned is rusted through and will need to be overlaid with some plate.

I am going thru the same dilemna myself. This saltwater is eating away at my metal trailer. I was thinking of getting a used galvanized or possibly aluminum? But, never heard of this galvanizing stuff you roll on? What does it turn out like?
