Anyone else in Southern California?

I can sell you a brand new, 5k lb tandem axle aluminum I beam with brakes for $3200, getting it there is another issue. Just stand on the corner with a sign like every one else in California, wont take long to pay for that trailer

Here are a couple I found in your area in 5 minutes on c/l

I ALSO found quite a few really good deals on other boat stuff... Things I could easily double my money on if they were here....

Well, not quite. The first one is in Ensenada, 100 miles deep in Mexico. NOBODY in San Diego goes there unless they are a Mexican, at least fluent in Spanish. They would require a cash deal--and if locals thought you were carrying $2k in cash.. the Policia would be the first to rip you off. A few years ago our Mexican painter went down to Baja to buy a bar-- and was killed with a knife because the locals learned that he was carrying cash.

The second one has many unknowns, wheel bearings? Winch, hitch, bunks, rollers, lights, etc. etc. I see rust in key spots. And by the time all those questions are answered-- you're back at $5000.

My guy had several good rebuilt trailers that would start at $2000, but by the time we fit one for my boat, it was up to $3000. So it seemed smarter to have mine rebuilt. FIRST, I own it, no title transfer necessary, and we would absolutely know the vitals were good. He will install all new springs, axles, bearings, bunks, LED lights, hitch, winch, jack, and much else. He's delivering it today.

I will store it across the road here behind my neighbor's house. Everyone in this neighborhood has at least 2 acres, he has 10 acres. When I pull the boat out I will store the boat and trailer there. Its safe. It was visible in his open field there for 14 years unmolested. It will not be visible from the main road up there. Water and power are available. So I will be able to paint the bottom and other maintenance.
