Trailer

#1 02-09-2006, 05:13 PM

Well I bought the trailer I have been lookin at, it's a 1997 Magic Tilt, single axle 3750 lbs capacity, 14 inch tires. Its in really great shape. It came with a 20 foot Chapparal boat with a 6cyl. OMC I/O. The seller assures me the motor runs fine, outdrive is fine. He says he is selling because the best quote he got to fix the streering was $1500.00 and he cant afford to fix it. The boat is in need of some interior love and attention but the hull is in great shape. I bought it with the intention of using the trailer, putting the flawless SS prop on ebay, putting the out drive and motor on ebay seperately and chopping the boat up and having it hauled away as trash. Thing is I will feel terrible cutting up a boat in this good of shape. I will post some pics tomorrow maybe if the weather warms up, right now it is too cold to go outside and mess around too much, its almost down to 50' ::). I might put it on my old trailer and set it by the road with a sign on it for the same $600.00 that I paid for it.

Oh yea, it also came with a real nice teak and stainless swim platform, I wonder if I can make it work on my boat.

Hmm.........29.8* and they say near 1 foot ofm snow Saturday :o

try putting the baot on ebay also with no resever, with no trailer?? Maybe some buy for $100 and they are happy and you are also?

If not then chop it up, get Stinky to go help you with his thong and chainsaw.

Nope, it's not Cape San Blas, it's the Shell Island side of the Jetties here in Panama City, looking inshore from the Gulf
