Im in the market for a new trailer as I cant put up with this old Pemco tilt crap any longer! The Pemco is falling apart, sits the boat way to high, isnt adj. and I just dont feel like spending any money on it! I was hoping some of the 18' SS owners could post some pics of their rigs so I can make a more informed purchase decision. Im seeing a lot of trailers on CL but its really hard to tell how the boat will fit w/o seeing it on it first. Thanks guys!

Re: Looking to buy a new trailer, Starmada friends HELP!!

found one today... came with a POS fiberglass boa without a outdrive... However is does have a good running Mercuiser 3.0! I guess that might be a selling point! Its just too bad I dont have the extra time to remove the motor, Im sure I could get at least $500 for it... As for now I have it on CL for just $100 to try to move it quick.

As for the trailer its in really good shape for its age '65. Only minor surface rust and the hubs and bearings are in good order. The tires do need replacing as well as the wiring, but thats a piece of cake! All in all Im pretty happy for only $100 investment so far. Im looking forward to getting the FG POS off and getting it adjusted for the SS!

And I know I said I didnt want another tilt trailer, but this one will adjust and sit the boat 5" lower than my current one! Now I wont have to lower the tongue jack to the floor to get the rig in the garage!!!!!!!!!

Nice score. That's very similar to mine and will set up the same way. Should work great.
