New boat purchase, but no trailer ?

bigdog · 07-13-2017, 12:35 PM

Contemplating to purchase a used 22' boat.

The seller does not have a trailer, and I would need to transport boat to the lake.
Once I get it to the lake , I'll be doing valet service until end of season.

I know there are boat transport companies around the lake, but does anyone know of a trailer rental source ? Boat is less than 50 miles from Winnie.

Suggestions ?

Ask the marina where you will valet. They may pick it up for you.

If the boat is at a marina, they might deliver. If you'red not going to trailer yourself (valet) then buying a trailer and configuring your car for it could be excessive. U-Haul may rent boat trailers, but configuring the car may still be an extra time money issue.

If you tell us the boat location and the valet destination, some friendly member of the Forum might be able to help. Without that info...

You might also be able o get the boat launched close to purchase point and drive it to the valet marina.

Of course, if you buy the boat, we want pictures posted.

Creating a new thread to ask questions regarding the boat/engine.

Thanks !
