Trailer

[jpola2001]

Hi All,<br />Hoping someone can offer some advise. I own a '87 Mastercraft 190 Prostar 19' and need to buy a trailer. <br /><br />Does anyone have a used trailer that would fit this boat? <br /><br />What should I be looking for if I buy a New trailer? ( i'm on a tight budget ). What weight? Single axl or double? Disc or drum brakes? galvanized? Thanks for the help.<br /><br />John.<br />p.s. If you have a used trailer that will fit and live in the Bay Area or Seattle, drop me an email at jpola2001@yahoo.com Thanks.

jpola,<br /><br />Trailers for competition ski boats are a special breed and are unusual. Most, if not all, of the comp. ski boat companies do not recommend any trailer but there own.

Re: Trailer

John, djohns19 is right about the special trailer needed for a competition ski boat.<br />But anything can be built. Call around and ask about custom made trailers. Depending on your boat size and weight, a single axle trailer should be fine.<br /><br />As for the brakes, it depends on the weight on your boat (again), weight of the trailer and the local laws where you'll be trailering.<br /><br />If you opt for the brakes, I would definitely pick discs. They are easier to clean, maintain, flush and work better. Just MHO.<br /><br />Don't forget that you don't have to buy a steel trailer, aluminum is good as well - doesn't corrode so easily and is also lighter and usually cheaper.<br /><br />Hope this helps.<br />Lou

Sound's to me like this could get expensive! Better check with a local custom trailer shop.<br />
