Default Anybody have a beatup old triple axle trailer for sale?

Im considering building a new trailer for my 24.

When we go to the poker runs and stuff, I always find myself wishing we had brought the golfcart! If I could find a DEAL on a 35' trailer, I could build my own deck on the front and have the 24 on the rear without having any weight distribution issues. As the triple will still be overkill for this light of a boat..

Rusted, broken, bad axles, no problem.. let me know!

Hello,
Are you still looking for a trailer? I have one that I just listed in the classified section. 40' MCM Steel. At this point in it's life it needs the normal "crap" done to it. Fenders, tires, brakes, sand blasting and paint. It tows great and I am still using it (39' Sutphen on it). Truthfully an aluminum trailer is available to me at a price that probably isn't going to be that much more than what I would have to pay to update mine. Looking for $3,000. Cell 781/771-3484.
Thanks,
Herb

Triple for a 24ft boat. Have you really thought about this. Extra tires to replace, towing is going be tougher on your truck. And Im not so sure throwing a smaller load on a huge trailer is a great idea.

Thanks but a 40' would be overkill.. I'm looking to make a trailer that is used only for poker runs when we want to take the Rhino/golfcart, scooters along with the boat.

I used a trailer for a 42' to haul my 29' cruiser. Towed great, but that trailer had tons of spring to it because the boat didn't span the full length. Boats do add quite abit of rigidity to trailers, unless the trailer is overbuilt for such a purpose.

Might be better to tow a small trailer behind your boat for those few times.

Towing triples would be great but illegal in all but about 5 states. (I looked into it for towing our jetski and boat but found it's rare in most of the country)
