QD,

Don't even waste your time trying to borrow or loan someone elses trailer. Not knowing the condition etc. It is not worth it and in the long run you won't save a dime dealing with the aggravation it something goes amiss.

All the good "professional" boat haulers will have up to date ins. Simms Brothers in Marshfield one of the best I've seen. Great rigs, they design and build them themselves, from what I understand they're a couple of MIT grads etc.

I borrowed a trailer once to launch my boat. You know to try to save $150. What a dissater....flat tire, messed up winch. 6 hours later the boat was in the water. For $150 it could have been in in 15 minutes.

They are going to charge you both ways. With some of the upcoming boats shows it may be possible to find a company in Conn. doing the boston show that is making multiple trips to spplit the fare if he was coming back up MT after the show.
