Don't buy a single axel trailer, I did and I regret it!

SnapperBlues,

We're really close to you, Curious Traveler is in the water, and I'm always looking for an excuse to go out. Let me know if you want a sea trial to see how you like her. May give you an idea for how she handles compared to your deep V Grady and how you're family will fit aboard.

A fellow C-Brat took me out on his before I made a purchase and I'd love to pass along the favor.

If the boat, motor and trailer are in decent shape, it is a good deal for the price. I saw it pop up on my Craigslist search last week, and would have gone to look at it if it was just a little closer to me. The motor is at the low end of of the power scale, but those Yamaha F70’s are generally a great motor! And the single axle trailer will do fine locally, but that would be one of the first upgrades I would do if you plan to take any long distance road trips with it. But overall, it looks like a decent package for the price.

Also, I’ve been looking at the used C-Dory market for a few years, and have noticed these boats don’t drop much in price in the “off-season”, on either coast. I wish they did! Wink

I know tandems pull a little better....but all single axle trailers are not created equal. Mine has a big 6 lug axle under it.
