Guy wants $1500 for it.He said 7000 lbs.No brakes. Don't know much about it. Going today to take a look. He had a 25 foot boat on it.I have a 25 foot Baja 250 sport with no trailer. So $15 might be to much?

Something looks odd ball about that trailer. It kinda looks like its homemade. Plus the car tires and car hubcaps don't help much either. And what clown put the lights on the training sticks. Make sure it has suspension on the axles also if not it will beat your boat to pieces.
Be careful something looks shady about that trailer to me.

What is with the bunks being on TOP of the Framerails? And they stick out WAY too far past the frame. I have an Aluminum Bunk E-Z loader, and the end of the frame is much closer to the end of the bunks. Looks like he made it longer by replacing the bunks?

I have a very similar Float-On trailer with 24 ft boat and it tows great. My bunks hang over almost as far as the trailer in the pic but my boat is only 3800 lbs.
I would want a winch post on any trailer I had. Also look for cracking on main I-beam right in front of forward axel mounting.
I would think $1500 is to much for this trailer.

I'd keep looking. I agree that it looks home made. You'll want/need brakes on at least one axle and a set of bunks up front and adjustable. That looks like it was made for one particular boat and lighter than your 25'. Hub caps are a nice touch, NOT!

Are you going to be dunking it into salt? I have an eagle trailer that I may want to get rid of. Just got it from MI with my boat and really won't have a use for it since I have a boat lift and 2 trailers already.
