Just looking for a used but good condition BUNK tandem trailer for a 1988 22 cruiser recently purchased. Thought I'd give this a shot before buying new one, I just don't want to wait for 16-18 weeks that most companies have as a time frame for building. Prefer (ideal) within Washington or Oregon state.

Might be worth a call to Sportcraft and ask if they have any used trailers. Might be they have something that they could set up for a C-Dory. They do know C-Dory's.

| Unless it's just a yard trailer, you just can't beat new. Sometimes I wonder how they get so much money for them, but nothing good is cheap and never has been. |

| I’d post a wanted ad on Craigslist and the C-Dory Facebook group. Mine was picked up by 22 owner and since it was for a 25 it worked without adjustments. |

Kaelc, I'm curious what brand trailer (for the 25) it was that you sold. Also, bunk or roller? For some brands that could be a good fit (EZ Loader, becasue they have short bunks), for others it might be way off -- Pacific for instance where the bunks come out full length to the transom. That would leave bunks extended an extra 3 feet, or moving back the winch post to center the weight, would still leave extra extended bunks, aft.

Found one in Seattle yesterday, just have to replace bunks.
Thanks sleepy C for the pic, that's what I need. It pulls down I 5 smoothly, hydraulic disks on all 4, stainless hubs, bearing buddies all around. No rust anywhere to be found. And all the LED lights worked! lucky find. $2k |

Terrific, glad you found it and all is good. Bunks are easy. Doug Fir, carpet, stainless bolts, washers and nuts. Should be good.

Sounds like a great deal.
Here are the details on the trailer that I had for future reference, undersized in my opinion for a 25 but it worked. Maybe if you had a single main and not a lot of accessories it would work but even the tire size was small for the weight we were dragging around. After a day of fishing changing a flat is not fun while your family waits in the car

| I really need to move back that way again. A trailer for 2k here means you disconnect it from the truck ball at the launch, take it to a deep spot, unsecure it from the boat, and watch it sink. Plus, it is just stupid cold here this time of year....and rains all summer....gross! |

I think that is the deal of the year. I looked everywhere for a trailer for a 25 with EOH and nothing under 6 grand and that need 3k of work! Saw a very cheap property in Port Angeles for sale last week on Facebook marketplace…. |

If you are using that trailer it is way undersized. The average 25 weight is in the 7000# + range. I doubt that there is a 25 out there which is 5400# including the engine.
