Dear All,

I am in Minnesota, trying to get into motoryachts. oh, somewhere in the
28-38 foot range, but the big trouble seems to be an availability of
trailers, I have searched the web for tri-axles and the like, but
there doesn't seem to be alot out there, something I can haul with a
3/4 ton pickup, that is able to pull 12k lbs or so......... Am I
looking in the wrong places? The trailer type I am looking for would
be haul from wherever I can pick the boat up, lets say 1000 miles and
then year to year, 3 miles to the lake, and three miles back once a
year. Maybe a 3-400 mile trip with it every 2-3 years or
so....................

Advice?

Ron

A trailer for a 38 foot boat will be the size of a typical tractor-trailer.
Are you sure you're qualified to drive something that big?

The trailer will definitely need brakes; by law, and also because your tow
vehicle doesn't have enough braking power for such a big load.
Once you get bigger than a 24' boat, the beam gets bigger, too. That usually
means getting permits to tow it. In some places the permit is just another
fee, in some places permits are for specific time periods. In addition to
the permits, the width of the boat and trailer will limit the roads you can
travel on (legally and safely).

Well, I live very close to an easy loader factory, but I would recommend a
Loadmaster, built in Tampa. They are lighter
and cost about the same.

I have one, went to the factory and picked it up. Works great,
you can pick the options--disc breaks, LED lights and etc.
