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.

Re: Need opinions on a new 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.

Re: Need opinions on a new trailer.
And the ALUMINUM will have more resale to it than a galvanized trailer.

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

Re: Need opinions on a new trailer.
Hey MJ,
That galv for $1899.00 is a single axle. I'm not sure what a tandem would cost me here.
