New boat trailer
 
My Sandpiper 565 sailboat turns 20 this year so what better present for
a lady than a new ride?
Drove up to Antigonish this morning to pick it up.

That definitely calls for purple undercarriage neon all the way around, and
you should change your name to Julio Don Blanco to match the lights.

Hang on....first of all, you have paved roads up there? And, you stopped
alongside a busy one just to photograph a trailer?

$2300.00 CDN. Bit steep but it has capacity of approx double my boat
weight. i.e. 2200-2400 lbs vs boat weight of approx 1200.
The guy wanted to use 12' tires, but I insisted on 13" with 1300 lb cap
each...etc.

It was threatening rain and I was excited to get pictures before I got
home. I was on the Trans Canada which is 4 lanes divided by a wide
grassy median. Some people sure drive by fast.
