Trailer dealers that ship??
 

Hi everybody,
I'm new to WellcraftV20.com but not to the V20. I've had a 1983 V20 since 1985. Repowered in 2000 with a Yamaha 175. I've always kept the boat on a dry rack until a year and a half ago (it's now in the water). Now I'm ready to kep the boat on a trailer.
Question 1: Recommendations on an exact model of trailer.
Question 2: Cheapest place to buy one.
I live in Savannah, Georgia. The boat will be mostly stored on the trailer at a local marina. No long hauls.
I really appreciate any guidance.
Chuck

Hey Lord Skools why aluminum, the galvanized up here seem to hold up longer, lot of cracked welds and broken cast aluminum parts on them trailers I hear guys complain all the time ???

Re: Trailer dealers that ship??
 

make sure you also get a spare tire.

lighter towing and gives better fuel mileage. plus you'll never see Aluminum Rust lol.

Due to flotation in tires, alum's light weight, saltwater bouyancy and currents, an alum trailer will DRIFT in certain conditions... ;)...

rockin'...welcome to da board... :D...V20 since 1985?...we welcome the knowledge and experience you've picked up over 20 years...post some pics of your boat...matters not what shape she's in...we just wanna see... a bunch of curious old pharts that way... ;)...

I normally recommend tandem axels and brakes, but if your routine over 20 yrs of boating allows only a short haul from storge location to ramp, you can get by w/single axel and no brakes...wish I were that lucky... ;D...

well i only trailer mine a distance of 4 miles from the house to the ramp and i have a 1991 Venture Single Axle. Does Fine, but it you will be trailering all the time and putting her in and out of the water all the time, I suggest full rollers. ;)

I really appreciate all the help. Yep, my Dad and I bought the V20 back in 1985. Have always loved it. Nothing like the feeling of that deep V plowing into a swell and seeing the water part like the Red Sea.

Hey Rebel, I can tell you that I got a much better deal on a used one than new, but I had to drive to St. Pete to pick it up. Of course, that was like 10 years ago . . . ::)
