There have been some pretty bad shopping stories regarding trailers from members.

Make sure you get a very detailed quote for the trailer with the specifications. Prices vary and many dealers will complete on price. One later finds the expected details (# of rollers, guides, light type) are different.

Prices around NYC will be higher.

You will need to have the boat fitted to the trailer. Make sure the quote adds time for this. No "standard" setup exists for hulls.

Treat it like a car purchase. Bargain hard.

If the dealer is not consumer-freindly, move on.
