My new 38 tg

Hell no. Folks know me better than that. Sell it for what it is. crb76 sold his Nextrail that had a myriad of issues for 1/2 of its street value after he built his McClain. C-Spray was trying to find a rudimentary trailer just to take his boat indoors for the winter. Many people look for trailers just for in & out maintenance and/or winter storage. As long as the bunk system is sound and supportive, its fine for any of these tasks.

I don't see why LP has to sell this trailer much less fix it .
If its new the dealer should stand up for him . I hate when people get away with building less than acceptable products and saying " tough " when someone complains .
I'm a little sensitive on this because I see some of my competition Homebuilders get away with kind of crap .
This trailer manufacturer should do whatever is needed to get this customer satisfied . Maybe the dealer can give LP a Myco and take the problem trailer on trade and sell it for what it is .

They did replace the axle when i took it to miami and i am sure the trailer can be adjusted to fit but as you said it should not be at my expense much lell the $2k it has already cost me. I think grand sports should buy the trailer back and get me a myco or pay what it will cost to get it right and sue the crap out of the guy that built the trailer but hell I 'm only the customer that dropped about 400K for a new baot and trailer why should I be complaining right! Thanks for your support and as soon as this weather gets a little better we will have some better pics!

Trailers to boat dealers are like upgrading wheels to car dealers. If it is on the lot, you take what comes with it and if you want something different that is fine but we wont buy your original ones back especially after the deal is made.
I know you will take a hit but the best thing to do is order a good trailer built for your boat; Myco, Eagle, etc... Sell the one you have, there are a ton of people looking for a good lesser quality trailer. Don't compromise the well being of your boat because of losing a few dollars. When you think about it, with the amount of money we spend on our boats, is 5% of the cost of the boat too much to spend on a good trailer being it spends alot of its life resting there and we rely on it to transport our boats safely.
By the way that is a kick azz looking Cig.

I Recently Bought An 01 38 Top Gun That Was In Md But Had No Trailer,so The Search Began.i Had A 2 Week Span To Get It Home Because Of Work And Was Pressed For Time To Find A Trailer.i Live In Louisiana And It Was A 20 Hour Trip One Way.i Called Many Trailer Co. And Because Of The Time Frame I Went With Instigator (as#$%$&&$le) Trailers.i Have To Give Him Credit On The Quick Turnaround Time But Here Is Where I Got The Shaft.i Wanted To Make A Drive Guard So I Asked For Him To Make The Side I Beams 3 Feet Longer Than The Rear Of The Transom.he Said To Get An I Beam That Long I Would Have To Up Size From A 7 To 8 Inch
I Beam For An Extra Price Of $865.00 I Agreed And Sent A Deposit And The Trailer Was Ready A Week Later.i Ordered Every Possible Extra So The Trailer Was Actually Nice.so We Were On Our Way To Md To Get Our 38. When We Got There And Tried To Put The Boat On The Trailer We Found Our Extra 3 Feet.he Had Mounted Everything Forward 3feet To Make It Appear Longer.oh And Did I Forget To Mention The The Total Price Was $2800.00 More Than Originally Quoted. He Said He Forgot To Add In The Charge For The Different Brakes And Axles.it Took Six People 8 Hours To Move Every Thing Back 3 Feet And Re Adjust It All Just To Be Able To Get The Boat Home.needless To Say He Wont Return My Calls Or Even Answer The Phone.so Right Now The Trailer Is All Apart In My Shop So That Every Thing Can Be Remounted In The Right Place To Fit The Hull. Needless To Say I Am Not A Happy Camper.so Please Dont Get Fu$%ed By Bret At Instigator Trailers (who Is The Owner) When We Are Finished With The Trailer I Will Post Some Before And After Shots

Was dealing with Joe the owner of extreme trailers and mark the owner of grand sports center. Not actually working with anyone at this point they both pretty well say tough $hit. I have filed a small claims court suit against grand sports center because that is who i actually bought from.
