Re: Value of 1959 Gator Trailer
I'd like to see photos of it if you can figure it out- It it's not too far gone, it might be worth saving. I'm having one shipped down to me from Illinois, a bigger 1961 trailer. I'm paying more to ship the thing than I paid for the trailer- And some people say I'm nuts for doing it, since it won't ever be 'worth' as much as I've got in it. Well, the thing is, The trailer itself might not be, but when it's paired as a package with a same-year boat and motor, it becomes worthwhile, at least to me and the handfull of crazy collectors out there.
If you are using the boat as a fishing rig and plan on doing a lot of trailering, a new trailer would serve you much better... If you need help finding someone looking for a 'classic' trailer, send me a message or email, I know a lot of people in the 'field'. You probably won't get a lot for it- especially if its in bad shape, but you might get something!
