The first 30 for got away. I should have grabbed it. It was a tri-toon with lots of add ons and 85 hp evinrude. And a Hoosier sissies trailer. $6,500.00 It wasn’t the dollar short but the day late.

Now have eyes on a standard 28 with 85 hp Mercury, collapsible hard top and nice furniture and a dual axle bunk trailer. $3500.00 Not bare bones but some add ins. Gonna go look at it tomorrow.

Not a fan of a single axle “sizzzer” trailer as the first had but I think the first would have been a better overall value.

Anyhow.....this one might come home with me.


Those between the toon trailers suck. It is harder to load, you have
to be very careful with what is under the stringers on the boat and
they tend to flip pretty easy because the axles are so short and the
wheels so close together.
A bunk trailer with a regular axle under it will trail pretty nicely,
even at interstate speeds. It is best (I have found) to have the
tongue down lower (not level) because the tilt of the boat tends to
add down force at speed and it trails better. I won't even tell Harry
how fast I have been with mine. For Richard, it was on Alligator Alley
at 2AM and I was pretty much alone there. Behind my van or Suburban,
it was pretty much unnoticeable. I do have a lighter than normal
pontoon tho, no furniture at all.
