    Hello and trailer selection help needed

    At least we didn't lose Grandma off the roof... Now we are working out details to get back to Richardton, ND to pick up the truck she left there for repairs. It'll all be fine in the end, I'm sure. And I love my wife for all the good things she does for us.

    Hello and trailer selection help needed

    She's actually just arrived home this morning after a 4100 mile drive. The engine took a crap outside of Bismark, ND, so she arranged to have it repaired there, bought a F250 with the 6.7, and continued on her way the next day. Two days from Miami to Boston, a day there to load the boat and have...

    Hello and trailer selection help needed

    I needed another service truck with a crane and liftgate, and found one 45 minutes from the trailer yard. My wife flew down yesterday, and picked up the truck this morning. She's on her way to get the trailer now.

    Hello and trailer selection help needed

    My current trailer is a Continental and I have been very satisfied with it, in fact, pleased. I have had to replace a few calipers and a rotor or two over the last 10 years, and of course I've done some wiring - but nothing I'm gonna complain about. I'm hoping that the new Deemax brakes are all...

    Hello and trailer selection help needed

    Thanks very much for the information regarding the form - I will forward this on. It was the sales gal at the boat dealership in Miami that informed me of the tax bill - hopefully I can move her in the right direction with this info.

    Hello and trailer selection help needed

    The trailer will be ready to pick up tomorrow. I didn't have to pay extra for the Deemax brakes, just the E/O setup. BTW/ I just found out Florida is gonna stiff me for the sales tax even though I've gotta turn around and pay it in WA, as they don't have a reciprocal agreement. I remember when I...

    Hello and trailer selection help needed

    Looks like I'll be ordering a new Continental CTA2813B with all the bells and whistles. After a while, even I get tired of splitting hairs and just need to move on. I looked at a lot of nice trailers, and talked to the guys at Owens, but the Conti is only a week out and that fits my delivery...

    Hello and trailer selection help needed

    Yes, TunaHunter, I did see the one in Seattle, but not before doing the deal on the one in Boston. Thanks for pointing it out, and thanks for the offer of advice. I will likely be picking your brain while I get my feet wet with the new ride. No regrets - the one I'm buying is truly pristine, has...

    Hello and trailer selection help needed

    Thanks for the responses. I'm waiting to hear back from Load Rite and Loadmaster dealers. I'm glad to spend the smart money now and save headaches later. LC - your trailer is set up very much like my current one, and the way I'm having the new one spec'd. I will be requesting a price from UShip...

    Hello and trailer selection help needed

    You're right about getting a trailer from the south up to Boston - seems a lot of manufacturers don't have dealers in the Boston area. I'm waiting for a few quotes from area dealers now. Wish I had a good reason to get down to Fla - might buy one there and run up but for the expense and hassle...

    Hello and trailer selection help needed

    Hi to all - Just closing purchase of a 2005 265 Express this week, and am oh, so excited. The boat comes w/o trailer, and I will need to tow it home to Seattle from Boston. The broker I'm buying through has offered to sell me a Venture or Sea lion trailer at his cost, but I have heard mixed...
