    we were letting a friend of ours use my honda crv while hers in the shop, she was in the heavier area too, it got dinged up pretty good too
    I'm up in the NE area too.

If hull is not too bad I will be looking for a galvanized trailer. i have looked some but it looks like most manufactures are only making Aluminum trailers.
    Tarpon boat trailers are made in Ocala, over the years i have bought 3 of them, they are very good trailers.
    But i called them when i wanted one for my new jon boat 4 years ago and was told they didnt make one that small.
    I bought one made by E Z Loader, they are made in Fort Pierce but sold through dealers. Mine is rated for 800 lbs, has 12” wheels, came with a winch and jack and a spare, and has torsion axels, no springs. Cost thru a dealer in Fort Pierce was about $900.
    I would call E Z Loader and ask for a dealer near you. 772 465 7778

    Thanks, I usually use B&S Trailers up by Mcintosh for mods and repairs but they only make Aluminum trailers now. They recommended BG trailers to me over in Astor. I will check out Tarpon and EZ Loader. My boat is a 1997 1980V Carolina Skiff, it's a wide boat 19ft long. I need to grab a couple trailer measurements, and boat width measurements for a proper trailer search.

    I have a B&G trailers north of me in Deland, maybe the same folks with a different location. They’ve always done me right over the years and given me good prices too.
    Creativity is just intelligence fooling around

    Yes your are right, I looked on internet.. Deland, I thought the guy said Astor. Current galvanized trailer is 80" wide frame to frame and 22ft long hitch to back of trailer. Boat is a semi V 19ft long and width is 92" at top of gunnels. I had 4 bunk boards on it and 6 or 7 ft long carpeted side boards for easy loading..
