Glastron Trailer - but with a project boat
« on: June 23, 2019, 11:29:08 PM »
I have been looking for a glastron bunk trailer for my SSV-164.

Saw this ad for a project boat for $1K -- I was going to contact the owner and see if he would sell the trailer.

What would you offer just for the trailer?  Anything to worry about with the glastron trailers in terms of parts availability?  I imagine they are all standard.  My current trailer is shorelandr roller trailer.

I don't have storage to pull parts or store another boat.   Thanks for opinions or feedback.

Maybe his trailer for your trailer ?
Plus some money .. to make it worth his while.
Nice boat launch (red arrow) few miles from him to make swap.

Not sure what is wrong with it, but $1k for a boat/g trailer is a good deal.  Personally, I'd buy it, swap trailers, then do a bit of cleaning/tune and re list.   Could end up with a free trailer.   Even if you bought storage for a couple months, you'd still end up well.   As for reasonable price for G trailer, depends on condition, and of course you want it.  $750-1500

I agree, you should be able to resell and get your money back. If you don't have room to store it then auction it off at Crankyape in Hastings after the trailer swap.
