Is This A Good Deal

[steelcity]

I don't have a pic of this trailer,but this trailer that I may be buying for my (14ft aluminum shallow V Gamefisher) is a 16ft trailer just painted..new lights and wiring....new winch strap...and new jack stand......new carpeting on the boat guides....this is the thing....I'm new to the whole boating thing...my old rusted out trailer had the tradtional rubber guides the boat comes up on from out of the water...this trailer has a maybe 2 1/2 groove almost the length of the trailer with these wheels every 3 inches that the keel goes on...

Ive never seen this before and just wondering if these were outdated, not the best choice..? Anyway he wants $300 for the trailer....

Thanks For Any Info

Couple bad pics...also this trailer has shocks,and coil springs....

Sounds old.
Sounds unusual.
Parts availability if needed??

Good deal ???

Well, for $650-$700 you can buy a brand spankin new boat trailer, with new tires, axle, and bearings.


Do you plan on keeping this rig for a long time?

If so, I would keep looking, or save my money till spring and buy a new one if a better one doesn't pop up.

I traded my 06 Seadoo Sporster 4 tec boat with 70-80 hrs and trailer for a 2010 Stingray 225 cr cuddy with 36 hours and a venture aluminum trailer for $17K Both boats and trailer were in excellent cond. The stingray also has a Garmin 740s gps/chartplotter with east coast maps. The stingray has the volvo/penta 4.3 FI 225 hp

Might do that........the trailer does have some new stuff on it.....even the tires are good.....it's just the roller system when the boat is loaded.....

Re: Is This A Good Deal

If your still feeling unsure I'd recommend shopping around online and see what other deals for both new and used are going for just to get a comparison. Amazon would be a good place to start. Personally though I prefer sticking with new if I'm buying something I don't know a lot about.
