Need opinions on a new trailer.
 

Hey guys,

I'm looking at a couple of options for trailering my V-20. The first option is to buy a brand new 3,000# Galv bunk single axle with brakes for $1,899. Or buy a used 2001 tandem axle aluminum bunk with brakes for $1,500. I'm perfectly fine with the single axle idea since all my towing is done within a few miles from the house. What would be more apealing to a buyer next year when I try to sell the boat, a brand new trailer or that 2001 aluminum bunk trailer.

I would go aluminuminum dual axle. *Save weight and the dual axle really improves the ride down the highway, in case you decide on a Key West trip this winter.

As for resale, people like BIG trailers, the new trailer won't be new next year.

And the ALUMINUM will have more resale to it than a galvanized trailer.

Everyone always wants Alum, and it will be better for resale as stated.

But there is nothing like a tandam, safer for you and the boat, better trailing, and better when you get a blow out!

Galv much stronger then Alum!! *Just ask the guys that end up with stress cracks.

Hands down Tandam Galv for $1899 is a great deal!!

I bought my Loadrite, Galv, Tandam, rollers, 4000# NO breaks for $2200

Hey MJ,

That galv for $1899.00 is a single axle. I'm not sure what a tandem would cost me here.
