Hi all,
So I might have convinced the wife about a boat. :grin:
Question I have now is around trailers. I have seen some for sale without trailers.
How do I find a correct trailer? Looks like the dry weight is 4500lbs. With full tank (85 gallons*6lbs, roughly) another 510lbs and figure a couple hundred for "stuff". So looking at roughly a 5500lb rated trailer? Is that right?
What can I expect to pay? Where is the best place to look for one? Any tips or ideas? How much are they new? I prefer used to save money unless the differential is not worth it.
My tow rig is a 2002 7.3 diesel excursion - so no worries there. ( I have a 18' 10k trailer for my Jeep when going off-road)
Thanks,
Joe
