380 trailer set up
Looking at buying a used myco 38' trailer. It would be going under a 380. Trailer was originally set up for a Fountain. Any idea if it would be a good fit or if it require heavy re-bunking? The trailer is the one on here in the classifieds at legend marine. Thoughts on price?

I would buy a brand new one from Manning for 2k more.
Remember you will probable have 1500 ish into it cutting off the bunks and replacing them so the 380 fits.
Used trailers aren't worth it unless they fit your boat, IMO.
I did buy a used one that was for my boat but a different year, hence I know the $ to get it right. The difference is I bought it right so I will still be ok.

I'll take it over once the weather breaks so I am ready for summer.

Trailer Bunks
The guys are right , Ricky, you'd have waaaay more work into it than it's worth, especially with the huge difference in hull form between a Fountain and a Powerquest. When you do get a trailer, put these on the bunks and you'll be a happy camper:

I mounted these on treated 2x4's after removing the broken, nasty, dirty carpeted boards that come on my Integrity trailer. The carpeted boards hold water and dirt, and scratch the hull, plus they rust the trailer!
Good Luck,
Paul
