Picked up a few trailers

[bilgerat]

I have been looking for a trailer for My 25 seafari and in My search i found a aluminum single axel that fits My 20 Seafari for only $375, I couldnt pass it up!. then yesterday on Craigslist I found this Slip-on aluminum 24-26 7000lb trailer listed for 950!! I drove over and picked it up for $900! what do yall think? all it will need new tires and carpet on the bunks!

Good deal. 7000 lbs works well for me. Looks like you will have to raise the bunks a bit to fit the 25. I modified my Owens by adding a 1x4, curved and raised another inch on the forward end to fit the curve of the hull. Fit the hull perfect, worked great after I played with it a little. Be sure to check the angle of the bunks to match the hull where they will touch. Also, the bunks should be under the strakes, where the stringer is. Looks like yours will be in just the right place.

Looks like you have torsion bars. If not, think about going to torsion bars when its time to respring.

it has torsion bars but no breaks, Im going to add them later before I start hauling it back n forth to Flordia.

That's a real nice trailer for the 20 I wish I could find one for that price

Phil,
Sweet deal on the trailer for the 25. Connor's right on the bunks.

On the trailer for the 20, check the load rating on the tires. A friend of mine had a trailer for his 20MA with those low profile tires and he would blow at least one tire every time we went to the Keys from Lauderdale. Even if you have to put new tires and rims on it, it's a good deal.

the trailer for the 20 has brand new tires , rims and hubs on it, and he gave me the two old tires and rims for spares!, I didnt look at the load rating on them, will do that tonight. thanks
Im going to test fit the 25 this weekend and see what I need to do to get it to sit right on its new home.

Make sure you have the brakes on both tandums. It's the law now in Fl and the patrols in Miami/Keys have portable weigh mats that they check requirements out on the highway


Nice find BTW, I have the same for my 23'

Heck, I dont think Ga even requires breaks on a trailer, if they do, no one enforces it!
