I agree that triples are a little harder to deal with at times but I am so used to it after all these years.
I here ya...driveway is wider than the friggin street and the neighbor across the street puts the stink eye on me when I drive 12" into his yard!! With a 1/2 ton F-150 KR I can't get enough swing to break anything longer than about 30'.

Unfortunatly price comparing trailers purchased years or even months apart is not apples to apples. It's all dependent on the market and what aluminum is being traded for and cost of brakes, axles, etc...i.e. last year I called manning for a trailer to fit our 292. qouted $5800 to my door. 1 year later called manning again for the same trailer...it was now $7000. I asked why the sudden increase, and he said cost of material.

So great you bought yours for 4200. You win.

Whooo Hoo! new trailer is done and ready for pickup and I am in FL to bring it home! Just in time to pull the boat out of the water and get her cleaned up for the poker run this weekend!

As an added bonus, after a lot of arguing with State Farm on this and having them research my full policy for this and previous boats, they realized that my old agent made a mistake on the policy and they are covering the loss!!!!!

I would highly recomend that everyone double check their coverages since 2 of my other buddies thought their trailers would be covered for theft but turns out they were not! they were only covered for collision and property damage!

I will post some pics of the new one later this week.
