I am looking for the best place to purchase a replacement trailer for this boat. Any leads? Ideas on price?

Where are you located?
country?
Province/state?

Have you tried your bass pro dealer?

I'm partial to Karavan trailers, designed and made well for most boats under 23' or so.

You're gonna need some measurements.
weight of fully loaded boat.
Width of boat .
Length.
length from transom to bow eye.

You looking for a bunk trailer, or a roller trailer?
Aluminum? Steel, galvanized or painted?
With or without brakes?
Could be anywhere from $1000 up to $3000

Located in Southern Indiana, USA. Looking for an aluminum or galvanized bunk trailer without brakes.

I didn't know if Bass Pro sold just trailers.

Price doesn't sound too bad. The boat has been garage kept and is in great shape. And I got it for free from my father-in-law, so I can afford to spend a little.

BP may not sell them but another Tracker dealer may very well. Other option would be any local marina as they usually stock trailers - some calling might be in order to see what they have.

You might keep your eyes on Craigslist to see if a gently used trailer comes up.

If there's a second best place to be looking for a trailer, it would have to be in his back yard. Indiana is HUGE when it comes to building trailers - ANY kind of trailers. I would add that if this boat is going to be based in Indiana, that a lot of extra money spent for a galvanized or alum. not near as necessary as it might be here in FL or other coastal (saltwater) areas.
