What I'd like to do is rent a trailer from a company or individual for
a day or two.

Here's what NOT to say (actual conversation)

Friend: Hey,don't you still have you're old 24' Seabird?

Me: Yep

Friend: I need to pull mine out of the water for a couple of days. Can
I borrow your trailer?

Me: I thought you just bought a trailer.

Friend: I did. But I'm having my bottom done and I don't want paint
slopped all over it. It's brand new.

Needless to say, that was the end of THAT conversation! LoL!
I would have gladly pulled his boat out, helped him get it OFF my
trailer and on to jack stands. Then come back later to put it back on
the trailer and back in the water, no charge. But no way was I going
to just "loan" him my trailer LoL!

Point being, finding a trailer is one thing. Borrowing it is something
else entirely. Be prepared to explain exactly why you need it, where
it's going and how it'll be treated.

And by the way, why DO you need to pull your boat?

In our area (Lake Orion, MI) some people advertise that they will move yur
pontoon boat from your yard to the water (Or vice-versa) in the spring or Fall.
They look at this as a way to pick up some extra cash. Check local papers or
marinas, etc.
