Got any pictures of your boat on the new trailer?

Not yet. You? I'll take one of the Rotten Banana on it when I take the other pics I need to post.

I do have pics, but I am unable to post them for some reason.

Can't wait to get my new computer.

Here is the boat on the new trailer. I put new plexi in the anchor light holes and painted the trim rings white. Looks a little better now.

Air Dog, I have the same exact brand trailer under my, hate to say it, 25 Outlaw. Trailer is great and at 26 feet, only ways 800 pounds.

Will float in the water from side to side though when you are loading. You'll get used to it though.

Trailer looks great!!! Do you have a name and phone where you bought it ??? Need one for a 33' and the prices are killing me THANKS obads 31

G Man - Yes, after I dunk the trailer, the right side of it slowly floats up... I don't have the trailer guides installed though. I am wondering if that would be enough weight to keep in down?

obads 31 - I bought my trailer at BOAT TUNE in Orlando Florida. I literally called every boat trailer dealer in Florida over a few weeks period and this was the best deal I could work up with out question.

Just ask for Tim at BOAT TUNE and tell him that Chris Chapman from NH recommended him. Also, let him know that I briefed you on the tipping procedure at pick up. Budweiser Long Necks.... :D

Unlike most of the dealers that were firm on their price, he was relatively new and trying to build his business so he was more negotiable, plus his cost of options was the lowest I found.

Good luck!

Yup, Tim is the MAN. I bought one from him shortly after Chris, and there price was well worth the three days of driving hell I went through to get down there and back. And compared to shopping here up north, I got a pretty much optioned out trailer from them for close to half the price of a bare bones up here. Plus Tim was great to deal with.

How did that work out with no brakes?
I only ask because I'm picking up #14 on Sunday, has twins on back and no brakes on the trailer at all.

I only have a 15 hour drive home through about 4 hours of mountains on the OR/CA border.

The kind that have 6 mile, steep downhill straights ending in a hard rt turn, hanging over a river. over and over again

Towing behind a diesel Excursion.
