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.

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

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!

Yeah, it's like Chuck says....especially in the Keys and Miami-Dade. It's easy pickins for the cops to find problems with boat trailers, who are well trained to find trailer problems; things like no hold down straps, no tags, out of date registration, brakes, lights, etc. I've been stopped towing my brother's boat, but never in one of mine. A $200 ticket sure makes that first beer taste not quite as good as normal.
