New Boat Trailer
Submitted by Dale on Mon, 2008-09-01 14:49
Time to consider a new trailer for my boat, had a quote for very specific type purpose built for a UB from Roadmaster boat trailers for around $7500. Anyone know of any others I can try for a quote also?
Cheers
Dale

Trailcraft
Very happy with the trailcraft trailer riding under my boat Dale.
What ever you do make sure you get a big enough trailer. Don't try and save a few extra dollars by squeezing your boat onto a maxed out trailer that only just accommodates your boat. False ecomomy IMO.

roadmaster
Price of steel has gone up, galvanising also. Hubbie bought boat in 1982 18', roadmaster trailer come with boat, 2007 Xmas snapped in Leeman, welded brace to get home, put new roadmaster on in Jan 08, bloke said you've got 2 year warranty, hubbie said why last one lasted me 25 years. New trailer $2300 without goss neck, single anxle and new regulations for over 700kg dics brakes which brought boat/fuel/food etc to 1200kg when towing to Leeman.

We had put a 350 engine on our boat and seemed to be a bit to much for the trailer snapped the rear axle had to get a new one.
