38' gooseneck for top gun
 

Putting the feelers out for a used gooseneck. Currently have an aluminum I-beam under a Top Gun. Installed a gooseneck 2-5/16" in the bed to tow the other boat, would like to switch the I-beam over to a real trailer. Both steel and aluminum considered, no I-beam aluminum though.

I would then be selling a '10 All American bolted aluminum I-beam, or trade. probably has bout 2,000 miles on it.

Thanks.

fastboats had 1 for sale awhile back

I could possibly have interest in the Aluminum one, let me know ballpark price when you have time...

My pops is also interested in the trailer... Shoot me a pm ...

Haven't considered price yet for the aluminum. It has all LEDs, spare wheel ON spare spindle, elec over hydraulic brakes with 4 discs (two axles). Honestly only ever put the boat on the trailer once and left it. It hasn't even seen water yet. One trip up here from Florida, and one trip back and forth to Toledo. I think it was 15k lbs, might be 18K lbs, I just forget what the axles were rated at...

I think it ran me $8K three years ago. I would think $5500 is pretty fair. I would need to locate a gooseneck probably before I sold it. That, or get it in the rack at Venetian in the Spring, or a trade.

picture of actual trailer. Bunks stick out about 4-6" off back. It's a great trailer, no real issues besides being I-beam aluminum, and I want to take advantage of the bed mounted hitch / gooseneck setup that was just installed on my truck.

Plus they just look kool!

Geoff Wanamaker out here in MD had one under his 38 TS/TG. It really looked sharp, and ominous. I just saw an updated picture and he has a bumper tow Manning under it now with drive guard. I don't know what happened to his Gooseneck, but shoot a PM to BobbyB here on OSO as he would know for certain.

No biggie, I know he is not in a rush to get a trailer. At some point he would like to have one.

What does he use now? I swear I saw it sitting on a trailer one year at the "V" ......?

Hah, your right. He's been using Smokin Joe's trailer for winter storage....

I see, I paid for a rack the other day for next season. Sooooo, the day is fast approaching, 4 years in the making.

I WILL NEVER DO THIS AGAIN! Unless it's a second boat. I did have the Pursuit this season, a really great boat to go party at the islands and still handle with just me and the GF.

I need to be one of those guys that when you pickup your boat from the factory, you just roll the deposit over to the next build.

How's the little guy? Will you be around OH this summer or down South???

Cant wait to see it Justin!!

I feel your pain, I'm going on 3 years, I hope to be on the water next year... Your Cig turned out beuattiful, and its good to here your almost ready for the water. I would never do what I did to my Cig unless I could do most of the work myself, if I put a dollar figure on the time I have in it, and the money in parts I could of have bought a newer 39 staggered Gun, I guess it all goes back to what you want and how big your wallet is....

I'm not as close to being in the water as you are. Yes, I agree, it;s a little foolish to be spending big money on old boats. I stopped counting the receipts earlier this year. Nice boat.

Well it's ok if you love the boat nothing wrong with a sweet old Cig... My buddy Brian's 36 wide body gets way more attention then newer cigs....

Thanks frick.... and your right full, just saying it takes a lot of time and $, but that's what I love to do, take some heap and turn it something super nice.. I love the boat I have, it my not be brand new, but its the way I wanted it, and I did it, I have a deeper appreciation for it than just going out buying something that someone else done, and know every single inch of it and how to fix it, .

The little guy is doing good. Just celebrated his 1st birthday. Thanks for asking. I should be back for a few weekends. Still not sure about moving south. Not many opportunities for the wife... But, we keep looking/ dreaming. I think you made the right move by tossing the receipts.... I had to do the same with the scout. The two things you have to keep in mind is 1. The boat will be exactly how you want it! I have to agree with tc on that. 2. You have become one with the boat! Just think, you gained a new family member! Also can't wait to see!

I can't say I've seen too many goosenecks used for 38' and under boats (typically they are under 42's and larger), but I can tell you they are a dream to tow.
