I need to replace my rusted out trailer and it seems the only option I've found for a SN is to get a Ram-Lin through the Nautique dealer... very expensive. I live in eastern NC. Are there any other options? Are there other companies out there that make trailers for Nautiques cheaper?
I would consider a used trailer too, but my searches aren't coming up with anything either. ------------- Chris |

Why don't you just freshen up yours, new bearings, tires some paint, bunk carpets, maybe a new set of lights.
If you have to buy one then check some of the local inboard dealers and see what they have laying around. When we where over at southwest CC last week-end they had two or three sitting empty that would have worked. You will still want to go through them and check the bearings and such. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

I replaced the junky shoreland'r mine came on last summer. I ended up with a Trailmaster. They're made down the street from me, and I was able to do a plant tour. I absolutely love it. Pulls like a dream, and under $3000 fully loaded with options (tandem, swing tongue, LED lights, chrome wheels, matching spare, etc, etc). Made my boat look 1000 times better. You can see it in my signature link, as well as the old Shoreland'r.

Rob, Very sharp looking rig. That seems like a great price for such a nice trailer with all those options. ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1160" rel="nofollow - 1988 Ski Nautique |

I just had my trailer sandblasted and primed at the same place for $275, Then we painted and put new rub rails, led's, guides, fenders, jack some decals and new bearings. I did all the work myself and I spent about $1,000. It turned out great! I have a Happy boat now! I got all of my parts on ebay.

I got all of it on ebay and These are the fenders that I got and they look really good when they are painted! They are only $55 but you pay $50 for shipping but you cant get them any cheaper anywhere that I could find. I got everything off of ebay all the way down to the decals. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-14-GA-TREAD-PLATE-STEEL-TRAILER-FENDERS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ50071QQihZ002QQitemZ4619781954QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V Brad
