Looking for a used trailer
Does anybody know someone or someplace that sells used trailers in CT ?
I need a 5000- 7000lb roller with dual axle/brakes. Size for a 25 -26 boat.
Diamond marine sells alot of new ones, though.

Going to be a light 26' boat if 7000 pounds is enough when you add engines, fuel, gear, water.... My 23 is near that # when loaded up... |

All I know, is that what you would pay for a GOOD used trailer, for maybe another $1000. you might as well buy a NEW trailer. At laest thats what I found out when I was looking for a trailer. Its either they need new brakes or axles or tires, or lights,its always something. They don't get rid of GOOD trailers for nothing!!! JMHO!!!

I agree uffah, by the time you buy a used trailer a redo the light and bearings, and fix a few things you are almost the cost of new.
Having bought a used trailer and sunk about 700 bucks in it the thing you can't tell is how rusted the insides are.
my used trailer lasted one season and then one pot hole later the back end let go. it was really rusted on the inside but fro outside it looked fine.
Good Luck.

Yeah, I`m "leaning" towards that way. I thought I could find one a couple years old.
JohnR - 6000- -7000lb trailer is more than enough for the boat I`m getting. I called Diamond Marine (largest Venture trailer on the east coast), and he said the 6000lb would be fine.
I`m getting a 85 Mako 254 with twins.

I was looking to buy for a while,but, it costs me 175 to put my boat in the water, and 175 to haul it out,put it in my driveway. My slip is only 10 miles away. So at350 a year, I can move the boat for 10 years for the cost of a new trailer. Don't have any Registration Fees, Insurance, or Maintance worries. JMO!!!

Boat hull dry is 3200#, add 800# for twin 150, 4000# trailer 1500# =5500# 100 gal gas about 700#= 6200#
Now you have 800# left for gear and other stuff, and what ever the catch weighs when you get back? You are going to be right on the edge with a 7000# trailer.
I would like to have some extra there! I say get a 8000 to 10,000# trailer.
Good Luck! |

We pull a RoMarine 25 that has been modified with extra cabin space, with a 200HP Merc, loaded with gear with no problems on a 6000lb Long Trailer...
You should be fine

lots of companies list weight as hull weight only as it comes out of the mold.
no hardware.hardtop, console, tanks, etc..
