im frustrated at the seemingly lack of choices in buying options to get a trailer
it seams like whoever sells you a boat has a gun to your head to buy the trailer from them at the price they want to charge you.
im looking to buy a 17ft aluminum jon boat but every time I try to look around to see what choices there are to buy trailers all I see available to buy is magic tilt at the boat dealers. calling around I don't find any price differences as if they are reading off the same price chart.
I even went to the magic tilt website to see if I could buy direct but it just sends you to local boat dealer websites.
does anyone know a galvanized boat trailer dealer that sells trailers direct to customers? I figure maybe a non boat selling trailer dealer has more of an incentive to give me a better deal or do a better job of rigging the trailer the way I want it to be rigged, a boat dealer does not need to give you a deal because they know you have no other option then to buy from them.
boat dealers keep trying to give me a small trailer made for 14-16 ft boats with a longer tongue added to "make it fit" a 17ft boat and if I insist on a real 17ft trailer "oh that's a special custom built item" $$$$
can you help me out here guys?
I need a galvanized mill channel 17-19ft single axle 1200-1500lb trailer that's at least 55" wide between the fenders, tire size/number of lugs does not matter
if you just know the name of a boat dealer that is fair with trailer prices even if your not buying a boat, please let me know that too.
I live in laplace so it needs to be within 50 miles of new Orleans please
