In need of a cheapo trailer

[TS Quint]

So I just "inherited" a small 12' aluminum fishing boat...it's a sweet deal 'cause it's free, but I need a trailer for it and can't justify spending $400-700 that the boat dealerships are offering...

I know it's like a needle in a haystack, but if anyone needs to ditch an old rusty trailer that will do the trick, I'd be willing to pick it up and pay a fair price. Anything within 200 miles of Bozeman or anywhere along I-94 into central Minnesota.

I know it hurts at first but that size boat trailer new is $500 or less.
It does not hurt to have a nice new aluminum trailer with fresh wheel bearings, tires, etc. A used one could cost you at least $100 just to get on the road. Couple that with rust and other problems, it could turn into a much more expensive problem than a new one.

I just imagine the trailer letting loose at 55 on the highway- just imagine how much $$ that would cost.

I've had hubs go bad on road trips- it is never fun.

Just size it to the boat yourself. It isn't that hard, and you can save some cash that way.

Just a thought.

If it lets loose and hits someone, its REALLY going to cost you.

Seen it happen- that is why I don't fuck around with cheap trailers.

Prolly not what he wants to hear, though.

If you never plan on going farther than a couple miles- well that is a different story. $500 is a pretty cheap insurance policy.
