sold Trailer for 21ft Cruise Craft

[havarest]

Hey all looking for a trailer for a boat i just purchased 21 ft cruise craft will neg. Its moored at the moment and just looking to get it out. Thanks anyone that can help

Thats a big boat, Glass I assume?

I'd do a bit of research first to see how much your new toy weighs, if its not to old, maybe find out off the original manufacturer or supplier what size of trailer was recommended (probably be at least a tandem). Then you have to work out what your car can legally tow (overall length, towball weight and total weight)that might influence the length and weight of the trailer you can use.

That might sound a bit daunting, but it would break you heart if you got a trailer you could not legally use!

I just paid the rego on my tandem trailer for my 22ft tub $118.10 and it has a tare weight of 480kg all up boat/trailer/inboard approx 2.5 tonne

Mate gotta luve the cruise crafts - Yes Feral they are Glass.

Have a look on the swiftco trailer site, maybe even give em a ring. You will need to messure your boat from the eyelet for the winch clip on the bow to the base of the transom.

Unless you know what you are doing a new trailer is easiest. If you are just moving it around on a Island maybe a cheap 2nd hand will do but if you plan to load it up and move it on the highway go the new model.

Swiftco are not the best but they are reasonably priced.

A couple of things to watch out for:

You want lots of rollers with a boat that big.

Make sure your winch is big enough to pull it up. I got one with 10/1 5/1 and 1/1 cogs.

Make sure the brakes are electric.

Once you establish what you want then you can search teh 2nd hand market but I don't like your chances. I'll also put the word out around and see what pops up.

Here have a look at this site - you want the sbt21 or 22. Hope that helps.

Ang thats a bit pricey for a 2nd handy the mob down Sydney was off memory about $4500 new way cheaper than up here :pinch:

[Angus]

Hahaha, no worries.

Sorry. It was just something that came through in a group email that was for sale. And to be honest i have no idea whatsoever what things like that should cost. So yeah i thought id throw it out there.

Gazza's price sounds about right, tandem trailer up to 2 tonnes is around $2500, once you go over 2 tonnes, electronic break away braking system required which adds about anothe2 2 grand.
