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

Re: Trailer dealers that ship??
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...

Re: Trailer dealers that ship??
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.

Re: Trailer dealers that ship??
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 . . . ::)
