Ok - I am convinced. A new trailer it is.

Given that I expect to use the trailer in fresh water 95% of the time and the budget is already blown, I am looking at a galvanized bunk trailer with doubled up keel rollers on each cross member.

As for dealers within reasonable driving distance, these are my choices:

Road King - Winchester - 15 miles
EZ Loader - Louisville - 60 miles
Shoreland'r - Lake Cumberland -85 miles
*Load Rite - Charleston WV - 175 mi

* My 1991 Outrage 17 had a 2004 Load Rite trailer that was fantastic. Same model is available.

The closest Continental dealer is outside of Mobile, AL and that is just a bit too far.
