2013 Tahoe Q5i Trailer Needed

[daveddd14]

Hi everyone- new to boating and have run into a pretty big problem.

We bought a used 2013 Tahoe Q5i in June and within 2 weeks our trailer was stolen from our marina where we docked our boat (in Pittsburgh on a river). I wasn't sure what the insurance was going to do, finally have the settlement in hand and was hoping to get a matching Tahoe Trailer that would fit our boat to keep the original look/feel. But I just found out that this probably isn't going to be possible. Before I start looking for a universal 3rd party trailer I figured I would join the forum and ask for opinions/options.

I am part of the pinball community and I know the forum is better than anywhere for good solid solutions, so I am hoping this forum will be the same.

Thanks in advance,

Dave

There should be plenty of trailers that will fit the bill. Are you going to buy new or looking for used?

Thanks!

I have $3k so I would like to stay around there with the same specs as the original. That said if there was a used trailer that would fit our boat if in good shape I would consider it.

So determine gross wt trailer needed.
Do you know what the rating was on the old trailer?
It came with a single axle trailer right?
You might consider going tandem axle, simply for availability.
Gonna cost more, but gives a bit more stability on the road, especially if you tow long distances.

Roller or bunk?

2800# boat is gonna need a trailer with gross rating in the 4000-5000# range.
With a carrying capacity of 3800# or more.
Batteries, fuel, gear, spare tires, and the weight of the trailer can add up fast.

Lots of boat dealers near you, some may have a trailer in stock.

You are going to need to know how wide the boat is near the bottom, so you can pick a trailer with enough width/space between the fenders.

Time to let your fingers do the walking.

Looks like Cabelas in your area is a Karavan dealer.
Id see if they has a Model KKBT-4800-78-BT in stock.
